Elves
All Elves are born of the Land and are bound to it. They require only air and sunlight to live and do not sleep. They must, however, enter a dream-like 4 hour trance once per day to rest their minds. Bound to the Land as they are Elven tribes vary is culture and appearance based upon their environment. This is born over generations and they do change during travel though they always feel a lengthening bond to their homeland...

Ice Elves: Withdrawn and more Imperialistic than their southern kin, Ice Elves are forced into a more organized society to survive in the harsh northern wastes and withstand the barbarian human hordes.

Dwarves dominate the western mountains from the Blood Wood north to the Dominion of the Ice Elves near Mount Saraach.

Half-Elves
Half-elves are extremely rare as Elves are generally not fond of humans and some consider them a plague. Half breeds are almost always the get of human fathers and tend to be outcasts accepted by neither race. Elves consider them tainted and many humans think they are spies. Regardless of this distrust the Half-elves best chance for acceptance is in the human lands particularly amongst the Issi River Cities...

Half-Orcs
Half-orcs commonly originate in the lands between the Misery and Issi rivers where Orcan raiding parties from the Badlands drive into civilized lands of the Issi river valley seeking blood and plunder.
