Editing Modification:New frontier

New frontier is an upcoming mod that is currently in development.
It's a near total conversion of dwarf fortress, but will stick to the original theme. It will add several civilizations, creatures, items and much more to make for a fresh DF experience.

The mod is being made by Possessed, a long time DF player and bay12 forum lurker.

:*Items, items, items

'''This is partially finished:'''
:*The new civilizations and their respective creatures

= Creatures =
Our delicious library of creatures, archived in groups for easy access. I'll add small hand-drawn pictures for the coolest ones when i'm done with the greasemonkeying around.
== Civilization creatures ==
These creatures form civilizations in game.
=== Dwarf ===
'''Overview'''
<br />The default fortressmode creatures. Relatively unchanged in NF. See [[Dwarf]].
<br />'''Description'''
<br />Dwarves are short, stubby and compact humanoids with excessive facial hair growth. They are often bulky, and take no insult in being called fat, as it is a sign that the dwarf is eating well and is living a happy life filled with abundance and plenty.
<br />'''Lore'''
<br />Here goes Dwarven lore.

=== Human ===
'''Overview'''
<br />Relatively unchanged in NF. See [[Human]].
<br />'''Description'''
<br />Human characteristics vary greatly from region to region, as they are quite adaptable and take on many shapes, sizes and colours to fit themselves to different climates and regions.
<br />'''Lore'''
<br />Here goes human lore

=== Aryan ===
'''Overview'''
<br />Based on the DF elves.
<br />The aryans are hostile, nature loving, arrogant, supremacist <s>assholes</s> creatures, and will pose a threat equal to that of the goblins in DF.
However, they will often be armed with fine weapons and armor, and must therefore be taken as a serious threat.
<br />'''Description'''
<br />Aryans are tall and blonde humanoids with blue eyes and androgynous features. Their bodies can seem quite frail, but they are capable of great feats of strength and endurance, though they do not surpass the dwarves when it comes to resilience and hardiness.
<br />'''Lore'''
<br />We care not for these lesser creatures, our allegiance lies with nature. The inferior beings who dare pollute, mangle or cripple the divine artwork that is the wilds will be swiftly stricken down by forces ten times their size and strength.

=== Northener ===
'''Overview'''
<br />Based on the DF goblins. (and inspired by the Dig deeper Orcs)
<br />The savage northeners are mutated humanoids that are widely feared for their religious zeal and inhuman appetite. Their minds and bodies have been altered by mysterious forces that flow in the northern regions, causing them to abandond their humanity in favour of loot, food and salvation at the hands of whatever god they chose to worship.
<br />'''Description'''
<br />Northeners are as tall as one and a half men. 
<br />Their skin resembles tanned animal hide, sometimes torn and ripped exposing raw muscle tissue and massive thick veins pumping blood, alcohol and fat through their beastly hulks. Since Northeners once were humans venturing into the uncharted north, they retain their forefathers pioneering spirit and seek out adventure and riches at every opportunity, this however often comes at some poor settlements price since northeners are prone to looting, burning, killing and raping.
<br />Due to their inhuman nature and tortured, inhuman bodies the northeners feel no pain nor fear, and are fierce opponents often partaking in gladiator fights; either to earn fame, glory and food or as captive slave-fighters.
<br />Because of this, they are feared throughout the known world as fearsome raiders who show up in enormous warbands, chanting the name of their unholy diety.
<br />'''Lore'''
<br />Soon to come.

=== Grey ridge troll ===
'''Overview'''
<br />Based on their DF counterparts, and loosely on the kobolds.
<br />Trolls in NF are a savage threat that send out thieves and ambush parties to pillage and raze dwarven settlements.
The trolls are big, mean, smelly and hard to dispatch as they feel no pain and are quite large.
<br />'''Description'''
<br />The grey ridge troll is a tall humanoid with rough, leathery grey skin, long arms and short legs and a tiny head with big, protruding ears. Trolls can grow to be quite fat, as blubber serves them as natural armour against cuts and bruises.
<br />Most races agree that grey ridge trolls are smelly, ugly, disgusting beings.
<br />'''Lore'''
<br />Less hubble over and stomp on dem stunty bearded little un's, i're mighty bored.

=== Gnome ===
'''Overview'''
<br />Based on the DF kobolds.
<br />These greedy little runts send out thieves and ambushers to attempt to steal valuables from dwarven fortresses. They are quite smart and crafty, and also relatively dangerous as they are often well-armed.
<br />'''Description'''
<br />'''Lore'''
<br />You're travelling with a wagon full of jewelry through this Gnome-ridden mountainpass? Well, best hope you like being jumped by a fellow that is as tall as your ankle with a blade as sharp as a shark's tooth.
