Males can have small to large antlers, and are distinguished from elk by the difference in height, patterns on their bodies, and a more delicate physical frame.

* '''Society''': Compared to the Elk, the deer are more curious, free-spirited, less hierarchical, and more competitive. Deer (like the Elk) are elemental magi, able to learn one (or more) of the elemental schools. They aren't as capable as most elk, but can easily best the average unicorn.

* '''Relations''': Often seen as the Elk's little brothers, they have managed to make allies with ponykind. Springy and fast, they are potent allies and life-long friends. Deer tend to come from forested lands, often filled with danger, and over the generations they have adapted to living in hostile areas.

* '''Alignment and Religion''':

===Cervidian Elk===

They usually take after earthly tones, lighter than the Deer, but darker than the moose with the most visible feature being their mane (if they choose to grow it out) and majestic antlers. It is considered traditional to Elk to keep their manes short.

* '''Society''': Elk are very traditional. Their culture revolves around their broad understanding of magic, its nature and history, and the World Tree their home city, Concordia is built on. Its elementally enchanted seeds have many applications and make for a profitable export.
The Elk are elemental magi, able to learn any one of the elemental schools. They are some of the most powerful magi in the known world, and the best among the Cervids. Their magic can compare in power to some of the most powerful unicorns.
All elk, at birth, are named after a star. Only recently have some adopted a new custom of "earning" a new name once they've claimed their first elemental power. Conservative Cervids may choose to keep their star name in respect to their heritage. 
Elk fawn often undergo a coming-of-age test, where they are tasked to demonstrate their magic. The test differs from location to location, but they usually made to seem dangerous, when in truth they are completely harmless. In Concordia, most fawn are sent into the Eternal Forest, beneath the World Tree, and told to find a specific root to mark their name onto it.

* '''Relations''':
Elk kind are powerful and are seen with respect and awe. Lesser races have cowered and asked for there assistance for generations. There wills and whimsies have shaped nations around Concordia. Unfortunately, the Elk know this. To put it bluntly, history is all they have.

* '''Alignment and Religion''':

* '''Adventurers''': The elk are among the oldest races, and are experts on the nature of magic and ancient lore. Stubborn and proud traditionalists – they take great pride in their heritage and magical prowess, often looking down on those that can't use magic and believing themselves to be the world's true guardians. Despite that, they tend to remain in their homelands and are not usually the adventurous sort.

===Cervidian Moose===

====Description====

* '''Physical Description''': The bulkest of the cervids, the Moose are hulking creatures with massive antlers, easily larger than most elk. They have longer muzzles and their antlers' shape is distinct to their race.

* '''Society''': The moose consider their ships and sea ports their homes. They spend most of their lives out at sea, usually on vessels they built themselves.
They make for the best shipwrights and navigators, if you can convince one to join your crew. They are seldom motivated by wealth and revenge – preferring adventure.
The moose are the only Cervids that can't use magic. However, they have the uncanny ability to detect the flow of ley in the sea, which allows them to navigate even the most perilous of seas. Some say this sense even extends to a very simple kind of precognition when on the sea.

* '''Relations''': The quiet big guy in the family that makes up Cervidia. They are often said to be master's of water, and can shape it like pegusi do clouds. This is wrong. However, more often than not, the moose you are looking at right now was probably born in a boat, or at least in a port city you probably could not even find on a map.

====Description====

* '''Physical Description''': Reindeer have the lightest frames among the Cervids, with a thinner muzzle and forward reaching antlers. When using magic, their antlers glow the color of their eyes.

* '''Society''': Reindeer are a strange lot. Tending to live up north, they are known to be able to fly without wings. Having a sort of kindred to the frost and snow, they are known to be experts in the fields they choose to learn about. Some have said that there minds are "up in the clouds" because of there strange ideas, some saying that there magic effects there minds. Most reindeer have a capacity for magic which far exceeds their mind's capacity, allowing them to wield an unimaginable amount of power, but at the cost of their sanity. They slowly lose control of emotions and cognitive ability, becoming savage, and in some fringe cases, disintegrating the host.

* '''Relations''': The reindeer take to secluded mountain-tops and forests anywhere in the Known World (except for the Old World), though they don't usually want to be found. 

* '''Alignment and Religion''':

* '''Adventurers''': Due to their incredible potential for magic, the reindeer are reclusive and try to avoid confrontation and attention. They often become bodyguards or couriers.

* '''Male Names''':

====Griffon Racial Traits====

* +2 Dexterity
* '''Medium''': Griffon are medium creatures and gain no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
* '''Humanoid''': For the purposes of D&D rules, a Griffon is considered to be a humanoid.
* '''Speed''': 30 feet (land), special (flight)
* '''Quadraped''': A Griffon may be considered to be mounted for the purpose of mounted feats.
* '''Gliding''': A Griffon can use her wings to glide, negating damage from a fall of any height and allowing 20 feet of forward travel for every 5 feet of descent. Griffon glide at a speed of 30 feet (average maneuverability). Even if her maneuverability improves, she can't hover while gliding. A Griffon can't glide while carrying a medium or heavy load. If a Griffon becomes unconscious or helpless while in midair, her wings naturally unfurl and powerful ligaments stiffen the wings. The Griffon descends in a tight corkscrew and takes only 1d6 points of falling damage, no matter what the actual distance of the fall.
* '''Flight''': Griffon gain the ability to fly by the use of their wings at level two at a speed of 40 feet (average maneuverability). A Griffon can't fly while carrying a medium or heavy load or while fatigued or exhausted. Griffon can safely fly for a number of rounds equal to double their Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round). They can exert themselves to fly for up to twice as long, but then they're fatigued at the end of the flight. They are likewise fatigued after spending a total of more than 10 minutes per day flying. Because Griffons can glide before, after, and between rounds of actual flight, they can remain aloft for extended periods (even if they can only use flight for 1 round at a time without becoming fatigued). When they reach level nine, Griffon have enough stamina and prowess to fly for longer periods. They can fly at a speed of 60 feet (average maneuverability), and flying requires no more exertion than walking or running. A Griffon with flight can make a dive attack. A dive attack works like a charge, but the creature must move a minimum of 30 feet and descend at least 10 feet. A Griffon can make a dive attack only when wielding a piercing weapon; if the attack hits, it deals double damage. A Griffon with flight can use the run action while flying, provided she flies in a straight line. 
* '''Cloudwalk''': Griffon may treat clouds or fog as as solid ground or as vapor.
* '''Semi-Dextrous''': Griffon can grasp one item (with their beak) while walking on the ground and up to two more (with their talons) while gliding, or in flight. They are able to use two handed weapons, but suffer a -2 penalty to attack, when doing so with a melee-, or unmodified ranged weapon. Griffon also suffer -5 to all checks needing fingers, due to the low dexterity of their talons. (Optional; most useful if combined with humanoid chracters from other settings.)
* '''Skills''': Griffon always gain Fly as an automatic Class Skill
* '''Languages''': Griffon begin play speaking Equine or Vaporian and reading as well as writing Griffin. Griffon with a high Int score can choose from the following list of bonus languages: Cervidan, Equine, Germane, Ibese, Ursic, Vaporian
