Races on Octanian

Humans [the human] [the humans] [a human city]

Humans are a species, which isn't specialized in any way by nature. This allows them to achieve many things through training and learning, without having inborn talent nor inborn restrictions. They created the first empire to control all civilized nations. Adaptability is their strength.

Elves [the elf] [the elves] [an elven city]

Elves lived in the great forest and founded nations at its edges. Gaul and the Balkans have seen many elven nations rise and fall.

Talented in ranged combat and nature magic.

Dwarves [the dwarf] [the dwarves] [a dwarven city]

Dwarves lived in the mountains and their valleys. They escaped into the eastern mountains, Alpes and Pyrenees. They used the movement of other races to reclaim their old lands and descended from the mountains.

Talented in crafting, building, earth and metal magic. Dwarven weapons and armour are always sought after.

Demi-humans [the demi-human] [the demi-humans] [a demi-human city]

Demi-humans are closely related to humans and part of the sea-folk. They are part animal/creature and sometimes show more or fewer characteristics of their heritage. demi-humans with an animal half that lives solely or mostly in water, are considered part of the sea-folk, but this may differ from tribe to tribe and region to region. Every demi-human can learn to transform fully into his animal half, but not many achieve it. They can transform into a purely human form if they train enough.

Talented in mounted combat and close combat. Can live in harsher climates than other races. Best senses of all the races.

Sea-folk [the sea-folk] [a sea-folk city]

The sea-folk are partially related to some demi-humans sub-races and humans. A few sub-races are part animal/creature and sometimes show more or fewer characteristics of their heritage, those are the ones closely related to demi-humans. The rest consists of races and spirits, who live near and in the water. Most sub-races can transform into a human form if they train enough. The sea-folk prefer to live on islands, but also settle along coastlines and big rivers.

Talented in maritime combat, navigation on sea, and are the best seafarers you can find. They can live in most waters and are the fishers of Octanian. Most crews have at least some sea-folks with them on every journey.

Dark Ones [the dark one] [the dark ones] [a dark one city]

Dark Ones appeared with the great change. Around 1% of the population would turn to dark ones. The reasons for this are unknown, but the theory is, that an ancient curse escaped the eastern mountains. They consist of nightmarish creatures like werewolves or vampires, but don't have most of the limitations or urges from old tales.

They are physically superior to all races and can most of the time transform into their cursed part. Tend to have special magic.
