Odyssey of the Dragonlords: Nymph subraces confirmed

[gyor]

I was reading through the comments section of the kickstarter when I discovered to my surprise that the devs had answered a question I had posed, will Nymphs have subraces. The answer is yes. They said there will be a hanful of Nymph subraces (not sure how many is a handful, I assume five because 5 fingers). They also said the examples I gave (Neriads, Oreads, Dryads) are included. This would also go for half nymphs of course.

In other news they, also said that while Theylea has a Titan ruled underworld it intersects with other planes, with the Titans allowing a few fiends and Celestials through. The setting is designed to be compatible with other setting, but distant.

Speculation: the Other subraces will be Maenad (Nymphs of Bacchus) and Nymphs of the Underworld (to cover the grimdark side of things, plus connects to a major Titaness of the setting). Smaller chance of Wind Nymphs, Fire Nymphs, Flower Nymphs, Bee Nymphs, Muses, Seasonal Nymphs, Charities/Graces.

Since Sirens are going to be birdlike singing women because in 5e Harpies have that job, Sirens will be linked to the Sunken City, or function as a race of muses. If linked to the idea of muses they might have subraces, I don't know.

I read somewhere in the comments I think that Minotaurs are common slaves in the cities.

Given that Medusas are cursed into becoming Medusas, perhaps they will have subraces based on their racial origins. Or perhaps not.

Rereading the Odyssey of the Dragonlords it meantions Maenads as the Raving ones, so it's a safe bet they are one of the Nymph subraces.
