Dragonborn
Dragonborn
Dragonborn, often deemed Drakonids, Serpentine, or People of the serpent, are the descendants of a cult that sought to transform themselves by imbibing the blood and hearts of dragons. They appear as large scaled bipedal beings with serpent eyes and fangs. While the ritual of ascension was lost, their descendants still live on with the gifts of scales and fire-breathing. Dragonborn settlements are rare and far from society. The mentality of the dragonborn is twisted from the transformation, with many of them either descending into fits of rage and anger, or lacking stronger positive emotions and having a greater desire for wealth and power, or even some cases resulting in feral Drakonids. Many do venture out into the world, but tend to live solitary lives, which causes many of the inner kingdoms to be weary of their presence.

Elf
Elf
Elves are a long lived race that has lost its origin to time, but retains many well honed instincts from a time long gone, as well as other more adapted-traits. They tend to either settle among the other races, such as humans or dwarves, or to found isolated settlements. Their mind and nature lends them well to the pursuit of knowledge, but their adaptability makes elves one of the most prominent elder race to spawn various offshoots. As a result, elves have long-since divided themselves more by blood than by banner, oath, or border.

Firbolg
Firbolg
Firbolgs are a large, relatively long lived, and pleasant race that trace their history back to the fall of giants, though much of this is only partially retained in song and oral tradition. Firbolgs generally tend to prefer their own kind to others, not due to disdain but from aversion to trouble. Firbolgs do not create new settlements, and instead tend to inhabit old hidden Firbolg groves and rarely wander out into the world. Most smaller firbolgs tend to pass as large rugged or odd humans or half-elves, with a wise attitude, though for the larger members of the race it becomes apparent that they are something else. Firbolg attitudes tends to lead them to live lives of homesteading or slow but masterful craftsmanship, which often makes them unaware of current events in the outside world.

Ginasi
Ginasi
In more astute and scholarly circles, the Ginasi is a collective term used for what happens when through either arcane or similar ritual, a sophisticated enough elemental is allowed to persist in the material realm and adapts to the natural cycles of life. It is rumored that they would not be possible without the aid of druids. Most Ginasi seen in the inner kingdoms and lands beyond are the descendants of such creatures, and are as such over time morphed into a more humanoid and understandable form, often appearing as enchanted elves or dwarves. Very few Ginasi lines are found, and no settlements are known. Most ginasi are very individualistic and tend to reside among either traveling bands, or sophisticated urban society. They are still a subject of study.

Griphir
Griphir
A Griphir is any member of a armed bipedal wingless bird-like people, whos society is split into hosts. Most hosts are clan-based outposts or settlements that are well guarded from outsiders and adhere to codes of honor and tradition. Due to their size and nature, most hosts are isolationist, focusing inwards on hierarcies and contests, though they have a propensity for engaging in the act of trade with friendly outsiders. Their origin is rumored to go back to a previous age in which the original hosts migrated away from a war-torn continent that fell to magic calamity.

Half-Elf
A half-elf is the descendant of partial elven parentage, either through sheer luck or more strange means(and in some cases arcane experimentation) as typically the races cannot interbreed. Half-elves are in many aspects similar to humans, though to many elves they appear perpetually to retain the mindset of elven youth. Their mentality places them somewhat at odds with their much shorter lifespan, leading half-elves to often pursue excellence, glory, or adventure.

Half-Orc

Some tend to still follow the old ways, living in isolate and warring clans on the edges of civilization while retaining a more savage look, or even selecting kin based on visceral appearance, whereas some have since integrated into either human or dwarf society.

Kobold
Kobold
Kobolds are a race of small lizard-like humanoids with lean and lanky limbs. They tend to exist on the fringes of the inner kingdoms and other high society, since for many of them, the concept of money is still a new invention. Some of the kingdoms and settlements see them as a pest, while some tend to keep them as either pets or slaves. Kobolds tend to live in caves or underground lairs. Various historians speculate that kobolds were granted the gift of language and thus do not deserve it. Kobolds mentality is all over the place and it is generally unclear what lives they lead, how long they could live given perfect circumstances, and how their societies are structured.

Gnome
Gnome
Gnomes are said to originate from a great conflict between their ancestors, a race of dream-eaters, and a deal with a cosmic entity. The outcome appears to be an elf-like being trapped in perpetual youth, with slightly muted emotions. In reality a gnomes appearance is partially magical in nature and their true age can reach several hundred. Their race is cursed to not properly age both in body and mind in exchange for an ancient favor, leading to many gnomes appearing as more careless, unfocused, or apprehensive. Most gnomes remain reclusive and not much is known about any common settlements they have.

Goblin
Goblin
While nobody knows the exact origin of Goblins, it is speculated that the goblin race is a cursed iteration of something prior. They live short lives, appear rather silly, act immature or erratically, and their clans and lineages have a severe impact on their intelligence and behavior. Their settlements are chaotic and practically a danger to other societies, and while some goblins appear to have an innate curiosity and drive to approach the other races and their settlements, many goblins simply cannot resist doing mischief and theft. They appear to cherish one-upmanship to an absurd degree, and it is often noted that goblin tribes, groups, and settlements appear to have a specialized "poet" for insults and swearwords. Despite all these drawbacks, goblins appear impeccably survivable when faced with catastrophe or calamity.

Clanker
Clanker
Clanker is the term used by arcane scholars to refer to various creatures of seemingly living metal that have shown up in a long past age of warring magic. Most Clankers that are ever found are found "dead" or decaying, though some very talented scholars and craftsmen have been able to "resuscitate" a few. Most Clankers are a threat if ever encountered in the wild, and appear to be irreparably damaged. Due to their limited minds, no Clanker that is not hostile remembers its origin. As such they tend to follow either their "maker", owner, the few people capable of helping and cleaning them, or in some rare cases their "friends". Due to their rarity, many mistake Clankers for golems, though they appear to possess a true mind of their own, even if limited.

Shadowlings, sometimes called fetchlings, are grey medium bipedal humanoids, with a grayish-pale skin complexion, and ashen hair, usually with sharpened short ears. Their teeth vary, and some are born with either a mark or a disfiguration in the shape of a rune someplace on their body. They may come from elven, orcish, human, or ginasi origin. They are said to perceive a different color that others do not see. Shadowlings are rare and attitudes towards them are varied.
