Unless otherwise specified, all the races encountered in the game are some variation on human. Playable, non-human races may be added later. All four races in this iteration of the game are Atayan, Drack, Ebetan, and Rowen.
Each race gets a few bonuses and penalties to stats and skills that only apply at character creation. In general, race/class combination makes very little difference; race has more impact on play-style. For example: Atayans gain a major bonus to the Comprehension skill. This does not make them better mages, but it does make them better at copying spells out of tomes and learning spells from scrolls. Hence, the Atayan will be able to gather a wider variety of spells than other races.
Atayan
Atayans, also known as the Mountain People, live on the slopes of the High Mountains. They are the secret guardians of the fabled Library of Arindell, and above all value knowledge.
