The major races of myaasia are given below.
§ not implemented yet, will come with the subraces package. (Most existed in Cerea 1, so will be ported over and the rest made)

Sylvans are a large group of intelligent races: Roughly divided into Elves, Fairies and Nymphs. Common to all sylvans is a bit of irrelevance and “free spirit”, also none of the sylvans grow old or die of old age.

(Select subrace: wood elf)

Erlini or wood-elves are quite numerous and a bit “rustic” when compared to other elves. They tend to be of ruddy complexion, with sandy hair and blue or green eyes. They are slender when compared to humans, but not when compared to other elves. They are very adept at moving undetected, especially in the forests, To this end they wear green and brow garments.

They make superb rangers and fair wizards or rogues

They are more dexterous and strong than other elves, but tend towards acting before they think and cannot take as much punishement.

They are good at hiding, moving silently and communicating with animals, but not as good at tasks requiring concentration. They seem more resistant to poisons and diseases, but less so to fear.

At higher levels they gain the abilities to be one with the land and then to detect animals, and eventually to detect any beings.

(Select subrace: moon elf)

Are one of the two races of the Iylari or Great Elves. They have very fair skin and light hair and they are considered the most beautiful of all elves. Contrary to the popular belief about elves, they are no more graceful then the average human. They are renowned diplomats and sages and their Bards are famous throughout Myaasia, but few among their number feel a calling to the visual performing arts.

Lineari seem to be infused with strong life force, so they are especially resistant to negative energy, and they seem to glow with an inner light.

This light combined with their for elces relative clumsiness makes it very hard for them to move anywhere unseen or unheard, but whoever faced a Lineari sorceror in battle can testify, that they have no need to creep in the shadows.

At higher levels, Lineari gain the ability to cast Aura of Glory. Some very experienced Lineari have been know to be able to sense sentient beings in their vicinity, and there have been tales of Lineari who were able to raise their presence to hights unseen anywhere else among the races of Myaasia.

(Select subrace: Sun elf)

The second race of the Iylari. Like the Lineari they are fair of skin and light of hair, but the similarities end there. The Loari are the craftsmen among the elves and their works are highly prized among all the races of both elves, men and dwarves. They are also very intelligent, and so there are quite a few powerful wizards of their people. They have deep insights into all sorts of crafts, be it locks, traps or - though they are physically quite weak - armors and weapons.

They are in general a peaceful people who don’t pick fights without being provoked.

Or sea elves usually live under the surface of oceans. They have a set of gills in addition to lungs. A [Shuluri] can manage on the surface for quite a long time without too great problems, although he will have to immerse himself in water once per day (minimum of 10 minutes) or get worse each day, usually wasting away in a few weeks. They are VERY uncomfortable in hot places and exposure to intense heat can be physically harmful to them.

The Shuluri tend to be quite clumsy when out of their natural element. Their powerful constitution makes it easy for them to shake off the effects of all kinds of spells, poisons and diseases.

All things mechanical are foreign to the Shuluri. They have few craftsmen, the quality of those weapons and armor they produce are inferior, and its likely a typical sea elf has never seen a trap in his life. Their dependence on imported wares combined with their inability to gauge the worth of items correctly has often led to them being betrayed by unscrupulous humans.

(Select subrace: Drow)

Have a dark, bluish skin, usually grey eyes and white hair. A large group of them were twisted by evil long ago and thus work as assassins and commanders for the Northern Empire, but contrary to popular belief not all drow are evil.

Drow boast no special strengths or weaknesses in their abilities, though they have a natural aptitude to hide and move silently. Conversely, they are lacking discipline and the ability to concentrate on a task for any amount of time. They also seem to have lost their way with animals, and they seem to shun drow or attack them on sight.

What sets drow apart from other races is their inbred resistance to spells, which seems to get stronger the more experienced a drow is. Speculations abound on how they have gained this resistance.

(Select subrace: Drow)

Are descended from both drow and one of the other races of elves. They usually inherit the dark skin of their drow parent, but the colour of their hair can be any that is found among elves.

They inherit their drow parent’s spell resistance and their knack for moving silently and unseen as well as their inability to concentrate for long.

Half-drow are also very unlikely to be affected by Poisons and diseases.

(Select subrace: lightfoot halfling)

Are small fairylike creatures with greenish hair and skin. A strong love of fun and pranks motivates the [pixie] .

They prefer bright colours and dress in garments of bright green. True malice is lacking from their practical jokes and a benevolent interest in certain mortals may lead a pixie to provide helpful guidance.

What the small pixies lack in strength, they make up for in speed and nimbleness. Also pixies are considered beautiful by most other races.

Because of their size pixies have an easy time picking locks and disarming traps. Naturally they also have no problems trying to hide from their enemies, but they can’t stop their wings from being noisy when they move about.

Like most fairies, they are flighty and not able to concentrate on any one thing for long. Sages are unheard of among the pixie…

Being highly magical creatures, pixies are very resistant to death magic.

Almost any pixie can turn invisible. Older pixies can even cast Improved Invisibility almost at will. It is generally not advisable to anger a pixie. There are tales where people who did this were struck by a multitude of curses all at once…

(Select subrace: Wood Elf)

Descended from the union of the mischievous pixies and elves, the [half-pixie] usually sport greenish skin and hair.

Their nimbleness is without equal, but like their pixie parent, they are wont to act rashly, without considering the consequences.

Half pixies are very adept at picking locks or disarming traps. They are also seldom seen or heard when they don’t want to be, but they lack the discipline and the concentration needed for more onerous tasks. They also are not interested in the lore of the world, as they prefer to live in the present. Half-pixies are also very resistant to death magic.

Crystal Palaces beneath the calm ripples of mountain lakes or the foaming waves of the oceans house the beautiful nixies. Music, storytelling and poetry entertain their royal court, but the themes expressed by such amusements are frequently mournful since nixies are a solemn people.

Felling a dryad's tree or polluting a naid's lake brings death and disease to these nymphs. born with the first sprout to emerge from the seed or the first drops to collect in the folds of the land, nymphs rarely stray far from the ecological or geographical features that give them life. Guarding the waters, trees or hills, and engaging in dances, frollics or feats, nymphs desire little else from existence.

Men are basically divided into three main groups: common men, Highmen, mixed men. The total number of different groups of men is staggering, thus only some of the groups mentioned here.

(select race: human)

Probably the most numerous of all races and the fastest breeding, except probably for orcs and goblinoids. They are passable craftsmen who produce serviceable weapons, armours and traps and there is much trade between men and other races, so they are skilled traders as well. There is not a skill they are really bad at.

Common men have a way of passing unnoticed in a crowd, especially if there are non-humans present. This knack can almost be compared to a Greater Sanctuary spell.

They are easily the most varying of all races as they live such a short time (average lifespan <40 years) and live in such varying conditions. Their adaptability is one of their strongest benefits as you find representatives of their species from arctic cold to Burning sand.

A race of humans located in the great forest north of Carse on the mainland. They have a quite advanced culture, being in many ways advanced over most other groups. The Duranaki are small of body, compared to other men. Their skin is of a darker hue and most of them have black hair. They are not as strong as other men, but make up for it with their lithe bodies. They are a very cautious people, some even call them timid, but that is mostly because they seem very susceptible to fear spells. Their senses are very keen, eye as well as ears, but they have difficulties concentrating for long. Duranaki are very adept at hiding and moving silently and at night or when underground, they seemingly meld with the shadows surrounding them. According to the experience of the Durunaki in question the effect of this can range from part concealment to the effect of a Greater Sanctuary Spell. Some Durunaki have been known to master this skill to a degree, that the seem to be able to teleport for short distances!

Descendants of a race of humans known to have lived at the eastern seacoast at least for 2000 years, since one of the few surviving documents from the first era tells about them. They have since spread to much of the eastern coast and some even live on the island chains in mid-ocean. They are usually fair skinned and -haired and small of body.

Or the riders as the word means are a folk of “yellow” skinned horse people. They are in a constant conflict with the rohir and slowly winning it because of sheer numbers, as there are 60+ tribes with 100+ riders. They routinely use poison in their weapons and use ambushes and similar tactics. This has made the rohir call them evil, and although some of the tribes are really followers of the evil, most are just influenced by the evil forces' tactics. Sagath sport a brownish skin, that is often covered with large tattoos.

(select race: human)

The elite of men, produced from a mixture of some Elvish blood in Northerning Stock. Highmen are tall, muscular and blonde. Highmen have most of the important positions in the kingdom and rarely intermix with their lesser kindred.
High Men are very strong and charismatic, but lacking in Dexterity and Wisdom. Their great frames can be intimidating to the lesser races, and they are in fact fearless, if somewhat indisciplined fighters. Due to their size, they have a hard time hiding and moving silently, but most of them would scoff at even trying.
High Men often cast glamours to enhance their already considerable Charisma. More experienced High Men have learned techniques of shielding themselves from mindspells and to partly avoid physical damage in battle. Some even gain the ability to partly conceal themselves along the way.

Are of high mannish stock living in the Northeast corner of Myaasia. Their culture is a very martial one and therefore they are often called barbarians (although not usually to their face, since they tend to be very tall and muscular).
Like other High Men, Northerlings - as they are also called - are very charismatic. Besides that they have no special strengths weaknesses or skills, that set them apart form other men, except for their high tolerance of frigid temperatures. They feel not at home in hot places though and tend to avoid large fires.
Most northmen can cast minor spells that will protect them from the blast of the elements. More experienced northmen can extend the range of those spells to include companions, and some few have been known to bestow the effects of an Energy buffer upon all they travel with.

The Rohim are of Northman stock. They are organised into 6 Tribes, with each subdivided into 5-10 clans. They are ruled by a council of 12 that are appointed for a nonfixed time period by the Fathing, The yearly meeting that is the highest deciding body for rohim. Each clan sends 6 men to represent it to the fathing, where each man has 1 vote and anyone can bring up any matter to a discussion and decision.
Tribe Framsberges
Located in and around the wading town of Ilianin, where the great western road crosses from the rohir plains to the Bogardis Barony of Carse. of the 6 clans, 5 are located in the town, Hos, Huv, Kau, Rof, Arin. The clan of Nif is located about 10 miles southwest of town. The Framsberges fight with javelins instead of bows. The tribal army is about 480 riders.
Tribe Gramuz
The Gramuzare located in the north around The old castle of Hornsburg. The castle and the valley behind is the shelter for the tribe. Of the 6 clans the Daier:s occupy the castle and the immediate surrounding, The clans of Inar and Nerevidi occupy the valley, and the clan Dukie is just outside the wall. Clan Kuzuk is about 8 miles south of castle and the clan of Herti is about 12 miles to west of it. Almost all of the Gramuz use composite long bows. Each clan can raise about 100 riders, making the total about 600.
Tribe Aulgarthas
The Aulgarthas are the biggest of the rohir tribes and consist of 10 clans situated at the city of Baldemar. All the tribes are located at the city at winter, but they disperse for summer, making Baldemar nearly a Ghost-town. Each clan can field around 120 fighters, making the grand total around 1200 Riders. The Aulgarthas have constantly 60 men to Baron Bogardis as his elite guard. Some Forces are driving a split, claiming that the Aulgathas are too big for their own good. They use composite shortows
Tribe Aligartha
Tribe Alighartha has 7 clans located around the Village of Zerim. Each clan can field around 100 fighters making the total to 700 fighters. They use composite shortbows as ranged weapons
Tribe Padavsky
Tribe Padavsky is located in the northern plains. They consist of 5 clans, being the smallest of the rohir tribes. Each clan fielding about 75 Riders, making the total around 375. Once the second in size, this clan has been really decimated by the frequent conflicts with the Sagath and some members are very critical about the decision to remain in the northern parts of plains. They use composite shortbows as ranged weapons
Tribe Ciriothas
Tribe Ciriothas is located at the Town of Berville. They consist of 5 clans, being the next smallest and the newest of tribes, having split from the Aligartha. Each clan can Field about 100 men giving a total of around 500. They use composite shortows as ranged weapons

(select race: human) Mixed Men are a group of men with some attributes from common men and others from highmen.

The Myri are descendants of a mixed mannish stock. They live in several small villages, loosely organised to a kind of tribal structure.

The Burrows are roughly divided into Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings, and chauns

Legend and song assert the dwarves to have been born of stone, naming them as sons and daughters of earth. They are a stalwart people, comfortable below ground, where they delve labyrinthine mines and palatial dwellings. The Dwarves are usually very trustworthy and keeping their word, many being overly sensitive to any implication of not being trustworthy.

There are three main groups of dwarves.

(select subrace: Shield dwarf) are stalwart people that live in deep mines and caves building magnificent cities underground. These are the best smiths and mechanics of all dwarves.

(select subrace: Gold dwarf) are usually living on surface or in shallow caves in hill country, the ones most likely to find their way above ground and into adventuring.

(select subrace: Duergar) A darkskinned group of dwarves, being probably the most warlike of all dwarves, this tendency for war has been used by evil on many occasions to pervert groups of duergar.

Halflings are the smallest of the speaking people. They can be roughly divided into three subgroups:

(select subrace: Lightfoot halfling) average between 3 foot and tend to be fat. They have large, furry feet and almost always walk barefoot. They are inoffensive, liking the comfort of their villages. They love good food and drink and spend lot of their time at inn's and at their friends houses eating. Although quick and aqile, they prefer to take things slowly. This irritates some of the humans dealing with them as the hobbits seem to take forever to do even the simplest of things.

(select subrace: Strongheart halfling) are a group of larger halflings averaging 4 foot and stocky build, and tending to be more muscular and more task driven. Appearing much closer to dwarves, both in personality and appearance. Normal halflings consider them to have abandoned the halfling virtues of hearth, relaxation and gardening.

(select subrace: Strongheart halfling) average 4 feet of slender build and combine many of the worst attributes of elves and halflings, being often irrelevat to an annoying degree. they are much more inclined to adventure and magic than normal halflings, often going to places just to see what is there.

(select subracerace: Rock Gnome) s are short, bald, wizened men who usually live in shallow caves, being long lived, they often gather knowledge and lore as hobby. Many are also drawn to “tinkering” and creation of strange things and magic items that do strange things. Most are magicians of one sort or another.

(select subracerace: Deep Gnome)

(select subracerace: Rock Gnome)

Chauns are a group of small beings that are mostly known for their craftskills. There are multiple types of them, the most common are detailed below.

are small, yet hearty creatures with red cheeks and smiling mouths, leprechauns are shoemakers. Always occupied with leather and needle in hand, a leprechaun creates the finest footwear to be found.

are expert masons who work by starlight, the pechs retire to their burrows by day. Silverhaired and cloaked in grey the pechs are a fair people, small in size, yet usually untouched by evil.

Elementals are basically divided into full elemental beings and partial elementals. Many people argue that the elementals should not be counted as intelligent races as they do not seem to have any common ground with non-elementals, but most scholars count them among races.
Both types are divided into the six elemental groups according to the element they represent.
Full elementals seem to be a collection of given elemental matter moving under “intelligent” direction.
Partial elementals are creatures that have are part some other race, part elemental. Some of them can take on elemental form, others can use some other elemental abilities.
Traits, that all half-elementals have in common are varying degrees of immunities and improved evasions to their elements:
Fire for half-fireelementals, Cold and Acid for half-waterelementals, Electricity for half-airelementals and bludgeoning weapons for half-earthelementals.
They also share a special vulnerability and reduced evasions towards their respective opposite elements.
Experienced half-elementals can for short times take on elemental shapes, and some few are said to have managed to shield their equipment from the effects of those transformations, retaining full use thereof.

Additionally the halfelementals typically have the following traits and abilities:

(Select Subrace Fire-Genasi) can use the spell Flamelash three times a day. Half-fireelementals do not recover when resting in cold areas.

(Select Subrace water genasi) can use the spell Acid Arrow three times a day. Half-waterelementals can breathe underwater, but do not recover when resting in hot areas.

(Select Subrace air-genasi) can use the spell Gedlee’s Electric Loop three times a day. Half-airelementals do not recover when resting in earthy areas. They are generally quick, but physically frail.

(Select Subrace earth genasi) can use the spell Endurance three times a day. Half-earthelementals do not recover when resting in lightning areas. They are generally very tough but they are not very dexterous.

Dragonkind are a group races, that never grow old and with very powerful basic form, thus with enough time they can become extremely powerful. Rumours say there were or are twelve dragonlords, these are the ultimate expression of dragon form, basically being medium power gods.

These creatures of immense power are all extremely intelligent and capable of taking any form, in their natural forms they are very much elemental beings like the Greater drakes, but on more massive scale. They come in the six elemental varieties.

These Formidable Creatures are also known as elemental dragons, as they display a high disproportion of a given element. All of them are usually smart and much more formidable than lesser drakes. Typical Greater Drakes can take on small armies and win.
Air Drakes are slightly see-through, as their element of air seems to be embodied in them, usually residing high up in lairs on top of clouds or at highest peaks.
Earth Drakes look massive and their movement seems to shake the ground, they usually live in caves far underground.
Fire Drakes seem to be partly composed of fire, usually having lairs close to volcanoes or similar places of fire.
Sea Drakes seem flowing around like water, their lairs are almost always under water, though many have favourite spots to relax on beaches too.
Unlife Drakes are creatures of unlife, encountered in places with high unlife concentrations
Life Drakes are extremely rare creatures of life.

The most common type of drakes, usually known by their colours or the way they look.
Even though they are the least of pure dragonkind, against most mortals they are still quite formidable.
Most of the below given attitudes are of course stereotypes and as such should not be taken to apply to each individual.
Red Dragons are the most covetous of all Dragons. Exceptionally vain, they are forever seeking ways of making other creatures pay them tribute.
Black Dragons are evil-tempered, cunning, and malevolent. Especially fond of coins, they often question their humanoid prey about stockpiles of gold before killing them.
Green Dragons are belligerent and prone to attacking without provocation. They make their lairs in old growth forests where they fly beneath the canopy.
Blue Dragons are vain and territorial. They prefer to hunt on cloudless days, when their blue scales allow them to blend with the open skies.
White Dragons are among the smallest and least intelligent of Dragonkind, they are mostly simple animalistic predators with a predilection for gems and frozen meat.
Gold Dragons are graceful, sinuous, and wise. They hate injustice and foul play, often embarking on self-appointed quests to promote good.
Bronze Dragons are inquisitive and enjoy polymorphing into animals to better observe adventurers. Fascinated by warfare, they'll eagerly join a just cause… for good pay.
Silver Dragons are regal and statuesque. They cheerfully assist good creatures in genuine need, often taking human or elven form to maintain their anonymity. Copper Dragons are incorrigible pranksters, joke tellers, and riddlers. Most are good-natured but also have a covetous, miserly streak.
Brass Dragons are talkative gossipmongers. They may have useful information, but usually share it only after long rambling and hinting for a gift.

Beings that re a mixture of dragon and other beings, like halfdragons.
The form and power varies greatly depending on the parents. Some of the more powerful dragonbloods can temporarily or not so temporarily take dragonform. Traits, that all Dragonbloods have in common are varying degrees of immunities and improved evasions to their elements:
Fire for firedragonbloods, reddragonbloods and golddragonbloods Cold and Acid for waterdragonbloods, blackdragonbloods and bronzedragonbloods Electricity for airdragonbloods, greendragonbloods and silverdragonbloods Bludgeoning weapons for earthdragonbloods, bluedragonbloods and copperdragonbloods
They also share a special vulnerability and reduced evasions towards their respective opposite elements.
Experienced dragonbloods can for short times take on dragonshape, and some few are said to have managed to transform their equipment along with them, retaining full use thereof.

The Elemental Dragonbloods typically have the following traits and abilities:

(Select Subrace Aasimar)

can use the spell Flamelash three times a day. Firedragonbloods do not recover when resting in cold areas.

(Select Subrace Aasimar) can use the spell Acid Arrow three times a day. Waterdragonbloods can breathe underwater, but do not recover when resting in hot areas.

(Select Subrace Aasimar) can use the spell Gedlee’s Electric Loop three times a day. Airdragonbloods do not recover when resting in earthy areas. They are generally quick, but physically frail.

(Select Subrace Aasimar) can use the spell Endurance three times a day. Earthdragonbloods do not recover when resting in lightning areas. They are generally very tough but they are not very dexterous.

The orcs are one of the more numerous humanoids. They range from the immortal Uruk-hai the the fast breeding lesser orcs. Most other races mistrust orcs.

(Select Subrace Half-orc) Very fast breeding race. They are slightly smaller than humans in stature and quite stupid.

(Select Subrace Half-orc) Big brutes of creatures. Larger than men, known for their bloodthirsty manners.

(Select Subrace Half-orc)

(Select Subrace Half-orc)

(Select Subrace Half-orc)

The Quarians are a race of shapechangers that live on the southern continent. They can be loosely categorized in four major tribes.
Most Quarians can take the shape of the Animal of their tribe for longer amounts of time. The more powerful the Quarian, the more powerful the animalshape.
Some very powerful Quarians are said to have mastered the art of transforming their equipment along with them, retaining full use thereof. The Main tribes of the Quarians are:

(Select Subrace Wood elf) The panther shapechangers of tribe [malar] are masters of stealth. It is nigh impossible to hear or see them if they don’t want to be found. Their senses are equally sharp and not much escapes their attention. They have trouble concentrating though, and their discipline leaves a lot to be desired.

(Select Subrace Half-orc) The warriors of the[bear tribe] all gain the strength of their patron animal. Unlucky for them they also inherit its manual abilities, which leads to them being a little clumsy.
Unlike their brothers of the malar, they are very disciplined and highly focussed fighters, who wouldn’t hide from a battle even if they had the ability to do so successfully.
Their hairy bodies – both in animal and human form – make them very vulnerable to fire based attacks, though they endure bitter cold without complaint

(Select Subrace ) Often mistaken for werewolves, the [vulven] are fast and dextrous hunters, who only lack something in concentration.

(Select Subrace Shield Dwarf) The small, stocky [krat] or boar warriors are nevertheless fearsome fighters. When they charge heedlessly into battle, it is only their battle savvy and their constitution that prevents their lack of planning from turning against them.

All giants have inherited the superior strength of their parent race, though the lesser intelligence also seems to be a dominant trait.
Most Half Giants Can make good use of their Strength by throwing big rocks at their enemies.
Some Half Giants can even take the shape of the shape of their parent race for longer amounts of time. Some very powerful Half Giants are said to have mastered the art of enlarging their equipment along with them, retaining full use thereof.
The races of giant-kin are as follows:

(Select Subrace Half-orc) A [half-ogre] is a fairly typical type of half giant with no special abilities or weaknesses, besides those mentioned above.

(Select Subrace Half-orc) A [halfhillgiant] is a fairly typical type of half giant with no special abilities or weaknesses, besides those mentioned above.

(Select Subrace earth genasi) A [halfmountaingiant] has the same strengths and weaknesses as other giants, but he does not recover when resting in lightning areas.

(Select Subrace Half-orc) A [halfettin] is a fairly typical type of half giant with no special abilities or weaknesses, besides those mentioned above.

(Select Subrace fire genasi) A [halffiregiant] has the same strengths and weaknesses as other giants, but he also has the same immunities and vulnerabilities as any fire creature, and does not recover when resting in cold or acidic areas.

(Select Subrace water genasi) A [halffrostgiant] has the same strengths and weaknesses as other giants, but he also has the same immunities and vulnerabilities as any water creature, and does not recover when resting in hot areas.

(Select Subrace air genasi) A [halfstormgiant] is atypical in that he does not inherit the usual strength of other half giants.
Instead Half-Stormgiants are highly intelligent, lacking somewhat in wisdom though. Thus that race is perfectly suited for spellcasting professions, as those are not known for their great wisdom either.
A Half-Stormgiant has the same immunities and vulnerabilities as any air creature, and does not recover when resting in earthy areas.

(Select Subrace Half-orc) A [halftroll] inherits the strength of his parent race, but he is also quite frail of body. Additionally he is especially susceptible to fire or acidic damage.
To compensate, half-trolls regenerate wounds at fantastic rates. Some very powerful half-trolls are said to regenerate the damage they take in battle faster then their enemies can inflict it on them.
