Races

Several races have lived and flourished over the ages. The end of the Age of Gods has however seen to the destruction of 85% of all non-human races.

Before the Age of Gods, races had been divided as followed:

Human lands, with some other races welcome.

Elf lands, with only elves.

Dwarf lands, with only dwarves.

Dark elf lands, with only dark elves.

Greenskin lands, where only some other races are not beaten to death.

Free, unaligned races, either nomadic or scattered across the world in small villages.

After the Age of Gods, humans started populating almost all of the lands. A few exceptions were Toka'Man, which was still home to the greenskins, and several islands like Talinaven and the Isles of Marzen. But in the next age Toka'Man slowly got conquered by human forces. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:15px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.15;">During the Current Age however, all races are welcome in human lands, as there are almost only human lands. There are however stories of small communities of a single race still living in some places. For example it is believed that the old underground cities of the dwarves still hold a few small villages of underground races. Also, several islands hold mostly or only non-human races.
