The races are Humans, Elves, and Gnomes.  Each race developed on one of the four main continents, with the last being mostly uninhabited until the last century or so.Elves are the race native to the southern continent, and have tan to dark skin. Their hair runs the gamut of colors, but their eyes are all blue. The depth of the color varies widely though, from a very light blue to a dark almost black blue.  Elves live between 260 to 300 years old. The elves have a streak of ruthlessness, and it shows in their culture. In recent years, they have turned from war to business. Most young elves try to get into the more prestigious careers, either as businessmen or lawyers. Those who do not make it in the business world become enforcers- a dangerous occupation in a world where corporate warfare can be very real- or simply low level employees.  Those who cannot even fit in there are often exiled.

The gnomes have a technocratic society, and scientists stand at the top rung of the social order. Those who test the limits of science are the greatest amongst them, but those who design devices to take advantage of the advances are next highest. As one goes down the ladder, the jobs become more and more manual, from mid grade mechanics to low grade laborers.  However, since schools are well funded and universal, there is great mobility between generations.  While most gnomes have a place decided for them after they get out of schools, the next generation ends up wherever their abilities land them.GnomeSmall Size, base speed is 20 ft.+2 Intelligence, -2 Constitution.
