Black Geyser Races History
Humans were once a united tribe that roamed Yerengal for generations. The dark goddess of greed, Zornilsa, infected their heads slowly with greed, avarice, and jealousy. The single tribe of man became many as they turned on one another. They warred for resources and land, forgetting their roots. Their bonds were broken and their old alliances splintered. Humans come in many different shapes and colors and can be found all over Yerengal. They are natural farmers, working the land as an artist works clay. Human versatility means that they can fill virtually any role.

The Devil-god Rothgor was angry over the creation of the elves and the threat they represented to his plans to throw the world into darkness. He sent a succubus to pregnant elven women in an effort to steal the essence that lie within their wombs. The Elven mothers despaired, but the Green Goddess told her daughters to seek the first waters of Yerengal. They did so, but were trapped in a stone cavern when Rothgor sent demons to destory them.
The children survived the attack, but their mothers died. Men in the mountains found the babes and raised them as their own, but the Elven progeny were stunted and hairy. The children (now known as Dwarves) grew and prospered, sharing their love of from their Elven parents, but began to exhibit a preference for the depths of the world.

As the tribes of men fell to greed and the world was spoiled, the Green Goddess wept. The King-God allowed Tilindia to select a few tribes of man, those least affected by greed, to be her vassals in Inilmerald. Tilindia chose eleven tribes of man ti ckauns as her own. Those eleven tribes were come to be known as elves as time passed. Elves share a special connection with nature, feeling an inherent connection to all natural things.
Their generations apart from men have changed them physically; their narrow frames allowed them to move faster and quieter than men.

The Feldegug were once Elven tribes who lived closed to the north. The demigod Dargalmir grew jealous over the love the Elves showed for Tilindia and imprisoned a number of Elven tribes in the snowy, cold north. He would forge his own race and command them as he saw fit. But the Elves were first a creation of the God-King and the Green Goddess, and as they changed to survive in the north, they also realized the strength they would need to be free.
Dargalmir eventually realized his mistake and allowed his creations to rule themselves and commanded them to form six tribes. Drawing from the strength granted by their cold imprisonment and their god and goddess, they rebelled against their demigod. Feldegug are similar to elves but much paler. They are resistant to a hard environment who msot would consider unlivable. They are rarely seen outside of their snowy northern homelands and most other races are very distrustful of them.

What is know is that they are seekers of pleasure and experience, consumate traders and nomadic caravaneers. Rillow are a large, physically imposing race who bear a passing resemblance to elephants. They eschew religion and favor displays of wealth, and have a natural talent for Brewing & Drying.
Jotnar, the Giants of the Far North is a non-playable race. The far north of Yerengal is a frozen land of ice and snow where only the strongest of creatures survive. Since before the mortal races arrived, the Jotnar have inhabited the land, thriving were few others dare tread.
The Jotnar are a race of giants. Direct descendants of the far north’s demigod ruler, Dargalmir. The Jotnar are larger and more muscular than their younger Frost Giant cousins. They boast high intelligence, high craft work abilities and greater magical skill than all other giants of Yerengal. Their appearance can vary, but all Jotnar have bright blue eyes with white pupils and grey-blue skin.
Classes in Black Geyser are styles of play for each character of the game. In Black Geyser, players are given the chance to select their Class during Character Customization. Apart from that, upon reaching a certain level for each class, players will be able to choose a secondary classification which is Subclasses that further develop the character by adding feats, abilities, and more. Each class also gives you a set of equipment that you can customize. This page covers a list of all the Classes presented in the game.
Categories of Classes
When you start a game, you can either choose from a selection of pre-generated protagonist characters or create your own character which brings you to the Character Creation section of the game. In Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, there are 4 groups of classes that consists of a total of 13 classes that you can choose from.
Warriors
Outlaws
Priests
Wizards
What is Multi-Class?
The Multi-Class feature in Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is only available during Character Creation. If you choose to create your own character, you will have the option to choose multi-class when you are choosing your Class.
This is only optional and you can still just have your character stick to one type of class. Example: If you choose a class such as the Cleric, next to it, there is an option to "Add More", a secondary type of class which gives you a limited list of other classes that resonate with the pre-selected class, and then you can choose a third type of class to "Add More", which again only gives you a limited number of classes to choose from that resonate with the first two classes you've selected.
You can choose up to two additional classes for your character. While a higher amount of experience is needed for advancing, the character gains access to a wider range of skills and abilitites. This feature is recommended for advanced players.

Necromancers are viewed by society in a negative light and shunned due to their proximity to death. That said, Necromancers understand that a dead body is just a vessel, and they have learned to use death and its trappings as tools. They pursue great mysteries which others have shunned and deemed immoral. But Necromancers are not evil; they are merely focused on their inherent powers of life and death... sometimes even more than their own existence. Because of this, powerful necromancers are an extremely rare sight. But the most powerful are said to have transcended death and can even create powerful undead servants.

They have an extremely high resistance to cold and can withstand temperatures that would kill mortal men. Because of this, they are uncomfortable in warmer climates, but some Wintermages still travel to further their knowledge. Wintermages need less sleep than other mortals, using a technique they developed known as Cold Sleep. Powerful WIntermages can use their knowledge and magical skills to craft Ice Golems which can serve as mighty guardians.

Spellweavers are the most common form of wizards in Yerengal. They are as varied as the world itself. Some Spellweavers focus on a single shcool of magic, while others seek to explore each magical discipline as equals. Thus, no two Spellweavers are the same; all they share in common is an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Spellweavers are much too busy studying arcane to bother with martial training and as such rely on their mastery of the eldritch magics to protect them.
Convoker
Features:
- Can only wear Robes.
- Race Restrictions: Cannot be Dwarf.
- Can wield the following Weapons: Slings and Fustibals, Throwing Weapons, Rods and Staves, Small Blades.

- + Damage by summoned creatures
- + Health for summoned creatures
- +5 to starting Brewing and Drying
- +5 to starting Learning and Research
- Can build Guardian Golems from a certain (very high) level
The convoker eschews most other magical pursuits in favor of the summoning capabilities of each spell class. Convokers are versatile masters of adaptation; instead of focusing on the icy grasp of a Wintermage or the dark energies of a Necromancer, Convokers call upon a wide range of creatures to suit any needed task. But don't mistake their versatility as pacifism: the summoning abilities they bring to bear can rain destruction on their enemies through claw, flame, or steel.
