The most common races are;Goliaths and Firbolgs: primarily from the place that resembles celtic and norse myth and history. Goliaths are often sea hunters and often have brown bears as pets. It isn't unheard of for Goliaths to dive into the sea to grapple a whale or shark that is harrying their fishing lanes and weirs, though whaling as a profession is frowned upon by the sea gods. Firbolg are often scholars and are considered one of the first mortal folk to appear in the world. Eladrin: Both types of Eladrin can be found here, especially in the central kingdom of Capet, which combines Fey stories and courts with an odd mix of romantic French chivalry and later Roccoco France, complete with Musketeers. Capet has traded throughout the known world, and thus her people can be found anywhere.Wood Elves: Founders of the Empire of Albarona, but found just about everywhere. Gnomes: Great builders throughout history, very much the "smart guy" race, and builders of airships. One of the earliest people to explore far and wide, they built two twin cities across a vast ocean from eachother, at the desire of two sister Queens who desired a means to communicate when one of them sailed over the sea to follow her lover. One city eventually became a seat of power for a province of Shadar-kai, while the other remained a city of gnomes primarily, and is the birthplace of the first airships. The Two cities are home to two identical dark stone towers with blue crystal lines from top to bottom, which trap light during the day, and emit it out toward eachother at night, acting as beacons for sailors. Tritons rule undersea empires that either war with or are united with kingdoms of sauhagin. I haven't developed this stuff much yet. Duergar are common, but mysterious. Orcs  are one of the eldest races, favored by the primal spirits.</blockquote>
