Thoughts?
Any dominate or highly developed culture would most likely been removed by those ancient halflings to secure their own prominance on Athas.
Well- as a majority of the world was covered in water, I would have to say that if there were other races, they would have been a water race, and most likely servents of the Rhulisti and very primative.

I don't think they would necessarily be servants, but more than likely were primitive by rhulisti standards.
It could be that there were especially savage kuo toa or sahuagin. Could even be that non-psionic psurlons were originally water dwelling creature's from the Blue Age that fled to the outer planes to escape the Brown Tide.
There's the Athasian Dolphins that are found in the Last Sea area. odds are, they'd be candidates for a race from the Blue Age.
Someone who agrees that dolphins aren't mere animals :D

Agreed, whether we are talking Athasian or earth bound, heh.

Amen.

D'mn strait, along with a lot of other so-called "animals".
Oh, and of course, dolphins are teh rox. :D
Liking the psurlons idea, as well as the kuotoa and the sahuagin. However, what if the psurlons actually used to have a continent of their own, which they phased into the Astral Plane in order to escape the brown tide? Think evil, wormy atlantis. This would be especially cool if bits of it actually got left behind, filled with powerful psionic items, and perhaps, say, elder eidolon guardians, or mutated undead psurlons...?

Cool idea. Very Rifts RPG like. Reminds me of the splogorth from that game. Good stuff.

Nice one! Finally, a use for Rifts Atlantis

Going to have to agree here as well, this is an awesome idea.

I loved that book. I miss playing Rifts. I'm going to have to break on the Atlantis World Book for some psurlon/splogorth ideas.
Am I remembering correctly that the Nikaal were Blue Age?
First time I ever heard of that. Where do you think you saw that?
What has athas.org come up with?
Geesh... I don't have anything in front of me. Maybe it was in some fan written history. I know that the descriptions of the Blue Age are sparse.
What has athas.org come up with?
Your best bet is ToA.
However, nothing in there says anything about them being from the Blue Age. Just says their history is shrouded in mystery, and are probably not a New Race.

Only mention I ever saw of that was on Steve Bell's Arcane Shadows website that mentionned the three base races from the Blue Age that developped in all the other races found today: the Rhulisti Halfling bloodline, the Ancient Nikaal bloodline, and the ancient Thri-Kreen bloodline.
All Pristine Tower mutations, or all changes made by the rhulisti during the Rebirth, are based on the "gene pool" of these three bloodlines: mamalian humanoid, reptilian humanoid, and insect-like monstrous humanoid.

Thats a cool concept. Is that website still around? I'd like to see more info on that.
