OCCUPATIONAL LENSES
Occupational lenses help to find a direction with
creating a character for GURPS, making the process of
finding the correct advantages, disadvantages and skills
faster and easier. Each occupational package comes
with details that make the job fully playable however,
still leaving a lot of space to customization. Each
occupation has an additional lens, you need to have the
main lens to be able to use the sub lens. In both cases,
you need to fit the prerequisites which are attributes
for the main lens and a skill (or a specific requirement
like gender or race) for the sub lens. Advantage and
disadvantage point limits should be adhered to when
choosing an occupation. The following details are
highlighted with each lens:

sub lens you need to pay first for the main occupation.
Prerequisites: either attributes or specific skills that
have to be met to be able to take the lens.
Job Roll: roll once a month to see if your job manages
to give you the income you are set for.

 MALGAM RACES
The Malgam races emerged after the Descent, the original settlers using their technological magic to create crossbreeds
between human and animal, to have a more resistant and flexible workforce that could better adjust to the new
environment. Taking the best characteristics from the animal kingdom they initially created over 100 Malgam types but
only a few races were strong enough to survive the coming thousand years. During those 1000 years the Malgam
became free of the human yoke, with their own lands to rule and religions to follow. The Malgam races are not united
though, the Highborn are squabbling with the Lowborn races for recognition and power, bloodshed is often a way of
settling disputes between various tribes. The followers of the Bloodline Ancestors worship E’lab, the Maker of Life who
is seen as the original ancestor of all Malgams and preaches equality. However, the harsh lands of Malgamy are ripe with
revolution, the voices of Arvadur, the Spirit of Freedom, are loud with the superiority of the Malgam over humans. On
the East the Trueborn Circle is ruled by the Overlord, a mighty Malgam mage, who is awakening the magical potential of
his followers. Their aim is to break down the status the Malgams are born with, making them all Trueborn, and rule
whole Malgamy with their wisdom.

The following details are listed for each Malgam race:

Malgam status: Lowborn are the races that are seen as
warmongering, volatile with humans and usually
hostile. They are living in the harsh environments and
hidden places. Highborn races are the nobles and
intellectual races that are closer to the humans and thus
are seen more often in their lands.
Natural Enemy: Each tribe has a natural enemy,
another tribe of Malgams that are on the opposite with
them in characteristics and mentality, usually a
Highborn race is opposed by a Lowborn.
Attribute Modifiers: Taking the race template gives you
these modifiers to your attributes.
Advantages: a choice of advantages for your race that
make the specific characteristics visible.

the wisdom of the Bloodline Ancestors however, some
see Arvadur as the true path for the race. They are
famous for their mighty Warbrood warriors and have
powerful Feral Shamans who guide their tribes. It’s rare

parts. Due to their innate magic resistance they have
very rarely any magic powers however, their Warbrood,
the Spellstompers are famous shock troops against
magic wielding opposition. Although, they are known as
very undependable and famous for selling to the
highest bidder even in the middle of a battle. Scrogs are

from all directions. However, not many Anur are being
part of a Warbrood, their dependency on sweet water
makes them suitable only for such areas, bogs and
marshlands. The Feral Shamans of the tribe are
powerful not only with green spells but with water
magic too. The Anur council is always held underwater,

them and ports that connect commerce between
countries. Their mages are mostly part of the Salveni

settlements. Their Warbrood, the Chargers, are famous
for their straightforward tactic to every enemy, a
relentless attack preceded by a rushing charge. The
Renn are often seen as champions in the arenas, as
bodyguards to the wealthy and dangerous or heavy
hitters for criminal organizations. Magic abilities are

seas. Their tribal council is to be found in pirate ports
but there are some hidden councils in the largest
harbors of Cheiva as well. Their magic users are usually

environments of northern Cheiva but they prefer the
urban life with all it’s possibilities. They are often part of
mixed Warbroods as combat mages or healers but

monks and scholars but known to pick up weapons in

often tend to take the position of healers and spiritual
support but try to eschew any combat. The Elder
council of the Tesdon is always near water and away
from human habitation, some councils meet only
