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":

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.
