[center][color=9e0b0f][i][h2]Inhabitants[/h2][/i][/color][/center][color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Old gods (Unplayable)[/h3][/i][/color]
The first beings, created along with the universe by unknown means. They wield divine magic, capable of creating and destroying entire worlds if they so desire. They are the creators of all sentient life in the World. They are immortal and eternal, and most do not have weaknesses that could be exploited by lesser beings. Ever since the young races came to be, they learned that they could draw power from their beliefs, and thus they took patronage of various things to help them gain a following.
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Dragons (Unplayable)[/h3][/i][/color]
The dragons were created by Hiraga to help her shape the world, and thus they have been made with inborn magic. There are several types of dragons called flights - White dragons are known for using magic related to air and being philosophers and performers, Red flight has a tradition of using fire magic, recording history and fighting, Blue flight's magic most often concerns water, they are hunters and explorers, and green flight practices the earth magic and alchemy. In the Divine War, some dragons were corrupted by Foul magic, and became the black flight, who are naturally skilled in usage of Foul magic. The dragons do not have a lifespan or any other need of sustenance, but they require increasingly longer sleep periods to revitalize themselves.
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Dwarves (Playable)[/h3][/i][/color]
Dwarves are  beings created by Damaesk to put beauty into the world. Legends say that the ancient dwarves crafted the Great Halls of the Old Gods, among other things. They are excellent miners and crafters due to their natural strength and instinctive knowledge of many materials and how to obtain and work them. When needed, they are also skilled warriors, relying on their superior equipment to balance their short height, which is a bit of a hindrance. They are a tough people who live up to 500 years. The dwarves do not practice agriculture, thus they have a limited population despite being one of the first races created. Accustomed to life in dim light, Dwarven eyes can see in low-light conditions, although their vision in the dark is blurry and monochromatic.
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Fairies (Playable)[/h3][/i][/color]
Fairies and demons originated as one race, but being highly magical in nature, their bodies are affected by the magic they practice. As those who are known as Fairies refuse to use self-empowering, degenerative and destructive magic, they are small hominids with transparent wings. They do not reach more than a foot in height and are relatively frail compared to other races, but their wings can convert collected pollen into the magical fairy dust. They are fortunately peaceful and little shy people, preferring to accompany and aid others than going after a goal of their own, still trying to undo the wrongs of the Divine war. They are eternal, but not immortal. Fairies create runes in Fairyhome's magical wells where the Abyssal caves open to the surface.
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Demons (Playable)[/h3][/i][/color]
Brothers and sisters of the fairies, they are beings of various, twisted shapes, from humanoid through insects to amorphous blobs with mouths and eyes scattered all over their bodies. This is the result of their use of foul magic and or empowering themselves, making them tougher than most. They are tricksters, practical jokers or evil beings who took it upon themselves to give chaos, surprise and mischief to the World. On Altheim, they can be found where the Abyssal caverns reach the surface or the dwarven mines, and they insert themselves into power structures as advisors and spies, and they create foul runestones in the depths of the Abyss. As their bodies are used to living in the deep abyss for eons, the air on the surface is a bit too thin for them, lowering their stamina.
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Humans (Playable)[/h3][/i][/color]
What do you think? Non-magical creatures, jack of all trades, master of none. They live up to 90 years, and have the second most advanced civilization and culture after the Dwarves. What they lack in sophistication, they make up for with numbers, and they have managed to take the better half of Altheim for themselves after a scrap with the elves, when they sent two of four tribes running back to Älfa. They are adaptable and durable people with comparatively high levels of stamina. With the exception of elves, humans are in good graces of all races and thus have good bartering charms. Their biggest weakness is their natural ineptitude with magic.
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Elves (Playable)[/h3][/i][/color]
Humanoid beings, sailors and shipbuilders but otherwise technologically backwards. Created as fourth kind along with the Humans to live in the world and worship the old gods. Four tribes exist - Sea elves, forest elves, night elves and mountain elves. They live up to 250 years. Since they fought a losing war with Humans during their expansion north, Elves mostly keep to themselves. Instead they constantly squabble among themselves, driving a wedge between Solaris and Velaris. Elves of all tribes have instinctive knowledge of the plants and herbs found within the realm, exceptional eyesight, but due to their attitude, they are universally disliked, hampering their trade
[color=9e0b0f][i][h3]Demigods (Special approval)[/h3][/i][/color]
Demigods are mixed descendants of an old god and a member of another species. They are immortal, but with one or more crippling weaknesses associated either with their attribute or old god parent. They are stronger than the other members of their race due to their divine origin and can also get power from worshippers. The first demigods were the Elemental dragons, mothers and fathers of the current dragonflights spawned by Hiraga from her own essence. Among others are the legendary elven shipwright Efeanor, the father of dwarven wizadry Gert Hermann or the human king Arthurias, who lead the invasion to Altheim.
