-The Old Faith has been nearly forgotten. The Centaurs and those halfmen who followed them abandoning it in favor of worshiping iron and gold. Now the groves that were once considered sacred lie empty. The last of the Panii; a race once mighty, but now fallen low still hold true to the Old Faith. While they have watched and waited for centuries, they will not wait any longer for the axes of men to come and claim what little remains. With those few creatures who still remain true to the old ways, Pangaea marches. Though the Panii know they are doomed, they will fight for the forest. One last time.

-The Tutugi are descendants of Atlantians who fled the madness under the waves. They resemble toads and have become known as toad men, although they have some fish-like traits as well. The Tutugi have become more toadlike since they settled along the great river and some have evolved other traits previously not found in Atlantis. Perhaps it's an adaption to the new land or the influence of their new masters, the Ginebig. The Tutugi use primitive armor. They've learned the secrets of metalworking on land under tutilage of the Ginebig but the nature of iron to rust is of little use to them. Their wealthier warriors found bronze to be much more effective.
