The Old Gods:

“Two of the gods were born as elves, a male (Heklivmalgiso) and a female (Visinniria),  Five were giants, seven were gnomes, nine were Sylvan, twelve were dwarves, fifteen were humans (Neela), twenty one were unicorns (Falgaroth), and one hundred sixty-three were dragons (Amirgath)  As well, one was of a race from the bottom of the sea with a look somewhat like a lobster, the sole remainder of a people that hasn’t existed on this world for four hundred million years (Glup of the Zurb).  Those we know of with certainty, but others we know little of.  And there were some that we know nothing about, except that some of those were of the hidden races of Xervia.”
