Nice to see the spike in interest! I probably will have OOC set up in a few days for this RP.

The fantasy elements are more in the existence of creatures that you probably won't find on earth today. 

For instance i'm likely going to allow sea monsters in some shape or form, mainly since all a sea monster really would be is a sea creature big enough or ravenous enough to see human ships as edible.

Race-wise i'm on the side of them having to be humanoid or just not present. Hell, I am not sure if I will even be fine with lizard or jaguar men despite saying "humanoid recommended". 

For instance I'd be fine with giants, chimpmen, and really anything that could logically have had a common ancestor with humans within a few million years or less. Yet something like a lizard man which would work nice in a higher fantasy setting could break the suspense of disbelief because how could lizards have evolved intelligent bipeds at the same time monkeys did? 

The fantasy is likely to low to justify such creatures existing in this setting.
