Not a lot of specific races, as they are too numerous and diverse to describe. Instead, focus is on the racial groups:
Racial Group | Magical Affinity | Description |
---|---|---|
Sylvans | Nature | Animal/plant/fey qualities, harmonious with nature |
Elementals | Elemental | Of the world, but not of flesh (think djinn, efreet) |
Deva | Radiant/Holy | The race of gods, but not gods themselves. They think they're all that. AKA Aetherkind |
Automata | Artifice | Golems, androids, etc |
Outsider | Outer Planes | True aliens, or those touched by those planes |
Divergent | Abberation-y | Once human, warped by artifice (i.e. mutants) |
Netherkind | Shadow/Necrotic | Vamps, ghouls, shades, the usual. |
Dragon | tbd | You know, dragons? Mostly humanoid, a la Oathkeep. Supposed to have kept peace and order in the world. |
arcane - they look like the ethereals from wow, or maybe weirder like naaru
Approximate racial distribution in the "civilized lands":
- Human 70%
- Sylvan 15%
- Automata 10%
- Elemental 4%
- All other races combined: 1%
In the "uncivilized lands", Sylvan and Elementals dominate.
In general, Sylvan folk live just about everywhere. Elementals do, too, but in small pockets here and there, where their energies are most dense.
Devas, Outsiders, Divergent, and Netherkind did not historically live in the world at all, until Artifice messed everything up. They tend to dwell where the events that created/summoned them were focused.
