This comes more from an idea of efficiency more than anything else really. You see in the Endless the role of the individual is paramount, everyone is expected to their job and do their part. So by that logic if a woman is a beater soldier and a man is a better cook than the man will work the kitchens and the woman will go off and kill some people. To the lower rungs of society this wasn't much of a real change, on the level of villages life worked much in the same way, people did what they had to do to survive. On the upper reaches of society this took more of an adjustment period shall we say. In terms of Race, well things are bit more complicated. First we shall take about the so called Higher Races. Your standard allotment of Humans, Elves, and Dwarves. In this world they are more similar to one another in the way of comparing Neanderthals to pre-historic humans. They share similar blood, age the same, and look in may ways the same but vary in shape and size. In that way it is possible for interbreeding to occur between all three them, something which happens with more or less general acceptance. [i]Human + Elf = Half-Elf, Human + Dwarf = Gnome, Dwarf + Elf = Halfling.[/i] The Higher Races were the first to ascend from the simple tribal mannerisms of their ancestors and into 'civilized society'. Having grown in tandem with one another they get along surprisingly well with one another, but bigotry can never truly be wiped out in its entirety. Below this group of three comes the rest of the civilized creatures. Trollkin(Orcs, giants, trolls, and the like) Beastfolk, Godlings (Those touched with blood either demonic or celestial in nature. Tend to have divergent features like a wide variety of skin-tones, vary sizes, oh and horns.) and the rest. Besides the Godlings which are typically used as living fuel sources (besides the Higher Races their Souls are the most potent and so their blood makes great catalyst for sorcery), most lived lives of hard labor and subjection. So when the Endless came into power and liberated them from their chains of bondage in exchange for newfound freedom in exchange for some minor losses of personal liberty which they never had in the fist place many of these types flocked ot their ranks with the orginal composition of the Anthem being made of them. Further down still you have semi-intelligent creatures such as Goblins and the like smart enough to use tools but not smart enough to developed into complex societies who are typically seen as a nuisance but can be persuaded easily enough to serve as cannon fodder if you give them enough shiny things. And it continues to go downward from there.
