*Hulines: They are a humanoid cat-like race. There are, technically, two sects of Huline. One group evolved and are now living a very quiet and peaceful life in a village in the Huline Jungle, while the so named "Wild Ones" now inhabit the Savage Jungle, formally the home of the Dracoid nation. The Wild Ones claim to follow the "old ways" which the newer race of Huline seem to have dropped. Below, a picture of the Huline women of the Huline Jungle. The Huline specialize in hand-to-hand (or at least physical) combat. |

*Dracoids: Thousands of years ago the Dracoid inhabited a large area of the Southern Continent. They had a great kingdom and were the most advanced race in technology and science; it's capital was called Tsar'Ille, but now it is only known as the Dracoid Ruins. The Dracoid themselves are now nothing more than hermits and menial laborers. They are common in cities like Yvel, Gladstone and Cimmeria, but not well liked since |

They are blamed for the war- in a small way, rightfully- and now are hated wherever they go. The holy symbol of the Dracoid nation is the Silverleaf. The Dracoid are also very powerful magic users. |

Lands of LoreorLoL is a classical computer role-playing game series by Westwood Studios and publishedbyVirgin Interactive. Lands of Lore follows the tradition of Dungeon Master, but introduced a linear scenario-based storyline, rather than characters and feats.
Westwood Studios made role playing games (RPGs) for years, most famously Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2. When SSI planned to make a third one, Westwood chose to make their own RPG without the restrictions from the D&D rule set. Their efforts yielded Lands of Lore. Originally planned as a series of eight titles, the series ultimately spawned three.
The storyline of the games takes place in a fantasy realm known and referred to simply as "The Lands". The main realm of the Lands is Gladstone, where the civilized and "good" races are based.
The history of the Lands is divided into six periods.
In "Guardians of Destiny", a brief reference is made to the Kyragem of Legend of Kyrandia, while Legend of Kyrandia Book Two has an easter egg where letters written by Scotia, hinting at the possibility that both Westwood Studios fantasy games take place in the same continuity.
