| − | Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, their ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, their hard work, and their capacity for drinking ale. Dwarves are slow to jest and suspicious of strangers, but they are generous to those who earn their trust. They stand just 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall but are broad and compactly built, almost as wide as they are tall. Dwarven skin varies from deep tan to light brown, and their hair is black, gray, or brown. Dwarven men value their beards highly.<br><br> | + | Dwarves are known for their skill in warfare, their ability to withstand physical and magical punishment, their hard work, and their capacity for drinking ale.

Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy. Elves can live to be over 700 years old, and by human standards are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and stand 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet tall. They tend to be pale-skinned and dark-haired with deep green eyes. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many other races find them hauntingly beautiful.<br><br> | Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy.

Half-elves have the curiosity and ambition of their human parent, with the refined senses and love of nature of their elven parent, though they are outsiders among both cultures. To humans, half-elves look like elves. To elves, they look like humans. Half-elves are paler, fairer, and smoother-skinned than their human parents, but their actual skin tones and other details vary just as human features do. Half-elves tend to have green, elven eyes. They live to about 180 years.<br><br> | Half-elves have the curiosity and ambition of their human parent, with the refined senses and love of nature of their elven parent, though they are outsiders among both cultures.

Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest mean they are very physically diverse as well. Skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, hair from black to blond, and facial hair (for men) from sparse to thick. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like. Humans of the Netherese Empire believed themselves to be the chosen race based on their ability to control magic like no other race upon the face of the world. Those who were unable to wield magic were considered less cultured and treated accordingly, seen as nothing more than primitive beings. The Netherese, however, had a certain amount of respect for the Dwarves even with their inability to use magic, this was made up by their abilities in various trades, from stonemasonry to metal work.<br><br> | Humans are the most adaptable of the common races.

Goblins are diminutive but cruel humanoids with pointed ears, small fangs, and a wide range of skin colors. They are kin to other "goblinoid" races such as the larger hobgoblins and bugbears. While goblins are often considered little more than a nuisance, they are a fecund race and an unchecked population can often balloon into a serious threat. | Goblins are diminutive but cruel humanoids with pointed ears, small fangs, and a wide range of skin colors.

Kobolds are small reptilian humanoids, dangerous only in great numbers. They are distant kin to great reptiles such as dragons and sometimes serve them as minions. Though physically puny and often cowardly, kobolds are industrious creatures and skilled with setting traps and ambushes and at mining. | Kobolds are small reptilian humanoids, dangerous only in great numbers.

Hobgoblins are larger cousins of goblins. Though they superficially resemble goblins, they are taller even than most humans and have much stronger and straighter limbs than true goblins. Hobgoblins are more intelligent, organised and disciplined than the other goblinoid races, but share their cruelly aggressive natures and foul tempers. Natural warriors, hobgoblins delight in warring with other humanoid races. | Hobgoblins are larger cousins of goblins.

Gnolls are very tall (generally over 7 feet) and lean humanoids that resemble hyenas. Known and feared for their feral and savage natures, it is even speculated that gnolls may have distant demonic heritage. Gnolls are born predators and have a deep craving for hunting and raiding. Their culture is unsettling to many other humanoid races for gnolls have no qualms about eating humanoids they kill and enslaving those they do not and they also scavenge trophies from their victims. Gnolls nevertheless form strong family bonds and feel deep loyalty to their pack and bloodline. | Gnolls are very tall (generally over 7 feet) and lean humanoids that resemble hyenas.

Primitive and savage, these reptilian humanoids are not inherently evil but can be very dangerous if provoked or on the hunt. They are fiercely territorial, banding together to protect the swamplands they inhabit. Lizardfolk are hardy creatures with tough, scaly hides and a natural resistance to toxins, and look down upon other races as "softskins". | Primitive and savage, these reptilian humanoids are not inherently evil but can be very dangerous if provoked or on the hunt.

Kenku are avian humanoids with human-like arms and talons in place of feet. It is said that kenku once had wings as well but those were stripped away by one of their deities. Kenku are covered in black, gray, or brown feathers and have black beaks, along with a relatively humanoid build. They are more agile than humans, but they tend to be physically weaker. Although notoriously selfish and opportunistic creatures, kenku are surprisingly adept at teamwork whether with their own kind or other humanoids. Kenku are also capable of mimicking sounds and voices they have heard. | Kenku are avian humanoids with human-like arms and talons in place of feet.

Orcs are brutish humanoids, averaging in height at about 6 foot. Savage and brutal in equal measure, Orcs are not a foe to treat lightly, and in number their tribes have proven a constant threat to their neighbours, thriving by raiding and plundering. Orc cultures can range in size, from tribal bands to full settlements. While Orcs for the most part favour brawn over brains, sometimes a particular charismatic and keen-minded orc can arise; either as a leader or a cast out outcast. Outcast orcs are no less dangerous, often as their outcast status often suggests some reason that even orcs were to find abhorrent, though failed coups are other more mundane situations are possibilities also. | Orcs are brutish humanoids, averaging in height at about 6 foot.
