In this game, each player can post lore of this world.

There is only one rule!
The lore must be internally consistent, essentially, first come, first choose.
If someone says this world has no goblins, then that is how it is. If someone were to have mentioned a goblin prior, goblins would exist.

Instead of stating lore, you may write a short story about this world, using prior lore.

If you want to, you may put a prompt for the next message, which is not required to follow.

Among all the races, none stood above humans in the wide open fields. For humans had a special advantage no other race had, besides centaurs and dwarfs, humans could sweat. Not only could humans sweat, they were the best at it. Mankind dominated the fields because of it. He could keep a chase like no other, and endured beyond beast and mortal not magic. Humans were not average, humans were not even particularly adaptive. Humans were sweaty hunters and farmers.

The fields, almost completely undisputed- Except for the gnolls.

The gnolls are a macabre race, using bones and skins in nearly every decoration. Gnolls are hyenafolk, beasts in the shape of man. Gnolls are deeply spiritual, often becoming druids, rangers, or barbarians. Gnolls, like their hyena brethren, could crush bones with a bite. They took this ability, and built a culture around it. The bones of a creature are magical in the culture of gnolls, and were used as a sub ingredient in nearly every medicine. The gnoll's weapon of choice, the flail, was used to break bone, gnoll flails have no spikes, but are always made of the heaviest densest material a gnoll can find. Gnolls are not inherently evil, but rather are scavengers, very skilled at working together to take down opponents before stealing the kill.

And thus, the fields are claimed, but who claims the forest?

The world is covered in dead god corpses. Some creatures even live inside them.

goblinoids live underground and rise up to attack whenever they feel like it. when it gets really bad the knolls and humans work to together to defeat the goblinoids. There are no more gods because they are all dead.
