Book Of Knowledge: Kodan
The kodan seek to be in balance with the world around them and have a deep belief in reincarnation as a form of spiritual advancement, meaning members of races will continue to return as themselves until they are ready to become a more advanced race.
Originally from the Far Shiverpeaks, these tall, intelligent, bipedal creature resemble white bears. For the past hundred and sixty years, they have been battling the Elder Ice Dragon, Jormag, and are now traveling south, seeking allies for their cause.
In this regard, the kodan believe themselves to be the most advanced race in the world, making it their duty to guide and judge other races, holding some races as having greater "potential" than others.
