Line 4:
=== Humans ===
'''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.

While it is quite rare for demons to form societies, those that do typically see Greater Demons ruling over Lesser Demons in either a monarchy or oligarchy.
=== Angels ===
Angels are creatures said to have walked Alathra in ancient times. As no method is known to reach their home realm, very little is known about them other than legends. According to these ancient accounts, they are bipedal humanoid creatures with either pale or pure-white skin and hair. Their eyes typically are bright colors like red or gold, which are especially prevalent when contrasted with their complexion. They have either rounded or pointed ears and hair on top of their heads. They possess a pair of feathered wings, and in some accounts possess a glowing ring floating above their head.
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.
