	Human Description: Average size, and varying unique appearances are just two of many things that define human's independence from other races. Short lived but numerous, and while usually lacking wisdom, they make it up in courage, curiosity, and averaging between strength and speed. They are not suited to just one task, however, as humans are typically multipurpose creatures, capable of doing anything, but masters of few of those professions.
	Dwarf Description: Short, stout, and extremely courageous, these masters of the forges are experts of battle and little else thanks to their impressive strength. Most reside by a code of honor, but others are too greedy to follow 'guidelines', and stick to their mountain realms. Though welcoming to guests, they rarely go out of their way to 'invite' someone into their homes, and really stick to their own ground.
	Elf Description: Wise, intelligent, and very swift, elves are the longest living race in the land, having long since overseen the lands. They have always claimed to have a responsibility to take care of the land that caters all beings. This has lead to some icy relationships, however. Elves are split into three main groups: Workers, Warriors, and Elders. Elf workers are usually wood workers, farmers, etc, taking only what's necessary from the land, while warriors are usually swift, fast attackers. Their light frame and armor being a mixed blessing, as they're fast, but also vulnerable. Elders are primarily magic wielders, and are the leaders of their people. While age has claimed some of their former stamina and speed, they make up for it in intelligence, wisdom, and mysticism.
	Centaur Description: Centaurs are intelligent yet confused liminal beings, being half man, half horse. Their advanced thinking and moral stubbornness has led many to become philosophers or teachers. However, their unbending ideals and quick temper can lead to them flying off the handle at any time. Alleged to be born of Ixion and Nephele, powers of Mt. Olympus, their numbers are still strongest in that area. Partly for their pride and partly for their lack of stamina compared to that of a horse, centaurs should not primarily work as beasts of burden. They can however function in shorter periods, such as armoured combat.
	Dark Elves Description: Like Normal Elf's, Dark Elf's are Immortal, and just like the Normal Efl's are Excellent Combatants, the Dark Elf's were 'Formed' by the Elf Elder, Zoki, when she attempted to learn the Eleven Dark Art's, She was quickly found out, She and her followers were banihsed to the Dark Forest. For the Eon's after this, the Dark Elf's become nothing more than an Human or Elf, child's Tale, to frighten to go to bed, or clean there Teeth, but the Elven Elder, know the Truth, and keep it to them selfs.
	Xenolich Description: The Xenolich were initially a race of reptillian humanoids. Formerly a kind race, the Xenolich would help out their neighbors. However, they were wiped out when the whole Xenolich population aided a city under siege by an enormous monster. They returned, however, as a race of vengeful spirits. Although there are a few exceptions, they are mostly cruel and without mercy.
