Playable Races
Choose from eight playable races, each with its own history, strengths, starting skills, and place in the world.
Human
Adaptable and ambitious, humans are the most widespread people of Kalismor.
Humans have no single homeland. They are found from the militaristic streets of Kalis to the philosopher courts of Kodaisdain, enduring by learning to master many paths.

Graceful and long-lived, elves are attuned to the natural world and the subtle currents of magic.

Avian
Winged folk of the high reaches, Avians are scouts, messengers, and merchants of the sky roads.

Orc
Brutish and battle-hardened, orcs are survivors forged by centuries of war and hardship.

Halfling
Small, quick-fingered, and habitually underestimated — which suits them perfectly.
Halfling communities form dense networks of favors and information that stretch across city-states. They know things, and they remember more.

Undead
Once mortal, now something else. Unliving, yet still walking — for purposes they may not fully understand.
Since the First Great War, pockets of wild necromantic magic persist. Some who die near these fissures simply do not stay dead.
