Lore:Races

< Lore

Races are the varied forms of intelligent life that inhabit the Aurbis, both mortal and immortal. The mortal races are generally classified into three categories: men, elves, and beastfolk.[1] The immortal races are often et'Ada.[2] Additionally, several races exist that hail from the continent of Akavir. While these are described as beastfolk,[3] conflicting information plagues the races of the faraway land and they are therefore categorized separately. Any races that fit into none of these categories, such as spirits of unclear nature or those known only through myth, may be placed within the Other category. While men and elves are almost always described as such, races may be included - if otherwise belonging to the Other category - in Beastfolk, based on displaying animalistic properties.

There are several instances of otherwise animalistic or primitive creatures, such as trolls and mudcrabs,[4][5] being capable of speech or higher intelligence — these are usually unique exceptions or characters in tales either fictional or shrouded in myth.[6][7] These fringe examples are not included on the page as they are not considered reflective of those species as a whole.
