Rhulisti (yes I know they are the predescessors for modern halflings but the life shapers have to have a unique write up, in case a GM should deen that one or two may have survived.)
Athasian Gnomes (I had always hoped that they may have survived, gnomes would make for interested inhabitants of the sea of silt, making new and unusual silt skimmers driven by the elements know what, lol)
Elflings (what can I say Sorak was extremely cool as far as unique halfbreeds go)
If anyone has done or knows where to find these please by all means let me know.
Again sorry to be a bother since I seem to be acting as a postaholic.
Pyreen (can't believe I havent found a write up yet)
2nd Edition books have the flavor text. Terrors of Athas from athas.org has the stats.
Rhulisti (yes I know they are the predescessors for modern halflings but the life shapers have to have a unique write up, in case a GM should deen that one or two may have survived.)
Wind Riders of the Jagged Cliffs from 2E jas the most extensive information about them. Everyone has their own pet theories on it, however personally, I use the Yuuzhon Vong from Star Wars: New Jedi Order for any Rhulisti that have "returned". That race's information and stats are presented in the New Jedi Order Sourcebook from the Star Wars d20 RPG.
Athasian Gnomes (I had always hoped that they may have survived, gnomes would make for interested inhabitants of the sea of silt, making new and unusual silt skimmers driven by the elements know what, lol)
Wiped out, all of them. By Nibenay during the Cleansing Wars.
Elflings (what can I say Sorak was extremely cool as far as unique halfbreeds go)
Check with Nytcrawlr on that one. He has some stats done for them.

Hadly. You're just acting like someone new to the forums. Not a postaholic.

Sorry, no, not in there. The stats will be done by...wait, yes, you! In the epic bureau. :P

Bah! Oh well.... then umm..... stats will be forthcoming, in due time :P
One can only hope that they are written up at some point.
Thank you for the information on Wind Riders of the Jagged Cliffs, I will have to endeavor to obtain it, as I have my reasons for inquiring about the Rhillisti (sorry I mispelled it in the initial thread.) The Yuuzhon-Vong eh? What an interesting idea, might have to look those stats up and see what I think after I find wind riders.
As for Athasian Gnomes, yes I know that they were wiped clean from the face of Athas by Nibeney, but seeing as how the lizard folk were hidden from the Champions....eh you can see where this is going and its not really important.......
I will have to PM Nytcrawlr and see if he has a write up handy, that is if my blind eyes didn't miss one already posted. (I'll refer to the appendix for the forums first.)
Again thank you all for your assistance.
Sorry, no, not in there. The stats will be done by...wait, yes, you! In the epic bureau. :P
Actually it should be a joint effort between the monster and epic bureau. Especially if I have anything to say about it. :P
Got an idea brewing in my head, won't be a writeup for awhile.
As for the elfling writeup, let me get that up to the DSC multiply site.
As for the Pyreen one can only wait and leave them as enigmatic and unknown at least since I don't intend to let the players even consider them as a playable race I can pretty much be vague about them for now.
Also pardon my ignorance but what is the DSC multiply site lol?

I don't intend to make them playable races. So no worries there. They will be very Epic creatures.

Here is my take on what may or could of happened with the gnomes. I use this for my Sundered Regions material.
The gist of it is that during the Cleansing Wars a handful or so gnomes stumbled across an ancient rhulisti artifact as they were fleeing from the forces of Gallard. This artifact was a sentient Nature Bender Orb which convinced these desperate gnomes to alter themselves genetically in order to avoid detection from Gallard and his minions. After altering themselves they fled, along with the Nature Bender Orb, the Tyr Regions to the east across the dying sea to what would become the Sundered Regions.
There the changed gnomes came to occupy an abandoned subterranean dwarven stronghold and were dubbed the "Darkwyn" by the Orb (it will mean something in the ancient rhulisi tongue. What that is I don't know yet). For centuries the Darkwyn have stayed hidden afraid that a being called "The Bane" will find them and finish destroying them as it did their ancestors. The Darkwyn follow and obey this orb, The Under Father, who keeps them needlessly paranoid in order to maintain their obedience. Only recently have the Darkwyn started venturing to the surface in order to trade with the surface races.
For more on the Darkwyn click Here for their racial write up.
In a bizarre twist, the few gnomes that didn't meet destruction in my game escaped by being transformed in Jozhals. But hey, I'm wierd
Interesting take. Almost similar to my take as to what may have happened

I thought this was fitting, and if you tweak their flavor text a bit (making them less evil?), I could see them as a viable, if rare, player race (though in my opinion the tari fill the role of the other-small-race-besides-halfings better. Or use both.).
However, if youre looking for ideas about athasian gnomes themselves, I always found the writeup for the Kitunusi gnomes from Nyambe to be an interesting - and somewhat appropriate for Dark Sun (maybe make them more psionic?) - take on the small folk.
You can find the information about them on page 27 in the "Nyambe Players Lorebook", which can be downloaded here. (column on the right)
Maybe that will spawn some further ideas...
Didnt someone came up with a theory that the surviving athasian gnomes transformed into the hej-kin?
Intriguing idea.

Don't forget about the Jozhal.
