There is evidence to suggest that there is more than one humanoid race existing in the world of Alathra, various "mythical" species and cultures.

Line 5 ⟶ 6:
'''Humans''' are the most abundant and widespread species on Alathra, characterized by bipedalism, patches of hair cross their body coming in several possible colors, bearing a variety of possible skin tones, and rounded ears. Humans have a natural lifespan of around 80 years, reaching maturity around 18 years old. Adults of this race average around 5 and a half feet tall (167.64 centimeters).
Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster human society. Curiosity and the human desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of study. While it is rare for Humans to be born with magic, it is not uncommon for them to learn it later on in life.
=== Dwarves ===
The dwarves of [[Archive:Dwarves of Kharn Burim (Bal Duran)|Kharn Burim]] are a well known ethinic group, noted for their skillful metalurgical standards
and impressive subterranian architectural marvel located in [[Archive:Bal Duran (Location)|Bal Duran]].
=== Elves ===
The [[Archive:Silvan|Silvan]] may very well be a race of elf-like forest dwellers. Unconfirmed.
=== Aitectli ===
The [[Archive:Aitectli|Aitectli]] are amphibious Fish humanoids, forever bound to not stray far from water.
The Aitectli are one of the most diversified of the Alathra species, with a great deal of personal variability and uniqueness. Many subspecies arose from a basal ancestor, each one perfectly adapted for a particular habitat. From the black meanders of the deep ocean, with its denizens of bioluminosity and transparency, to the dull colors and frills resembling dead foliage of the swamps, to the vibrant colors of the coral encrusted reefs.
=== Villagers ===
The '''Villagers''' are a race of humanoid hunter gatherers that seemingly predate the "human" civilizations by several thousand years. The territories by which the Villagers once prospered have long been colonized by the "new humans" and now play victim to subjucation and even slavery. The Villagers lived a seemingly passive and largely agricultural lifestyle and characterized themselves with religion and recorded history. Every Villager settlement was centered around the discovery of fresh water to which was built a well, water channels, stepped farmlands, roadways and buildings, all whilst developing a variety of professions, an economy, and a social heirachy. The Villagers have a varying multitude of qualities unique to their race, such as tall sloping foreheads, prominent brows, and long stooping noses. It is worth noting that the Villagers seemingly viewed the color purple as having magical qualities.
=== Beastfolk ===
What the fuck are beastfolk?
=== Goblins ===
There is fleeting accounts of Goblins, most notably [[Archive:Maggot|Maggot]] of [[Archive:Redna|Redna]].
=== The Malecultus ===

=== The Arcane ===
[[Archive:Magic and the Arcane|The Arcane]] is the collective use of magic, spanning all races.
=== Centurions ===
[[Archive:Centurions|Centurions]] are ancient guardians, product of magic.
=== Demons ===
Line 41 ⟶ 52:
While only speculated by scholars it is believed that rather than coming from a divine origin they originate from an alternate realm like the nether, with Angels being paralleled to lesser Demons and legendary "Arch-Angles" being parallels to Greater Demons.
While naturally gifted in magic, their magical talents lean towards beneficial "Buffs" and healing abilities.
