Avians
They have ability to fly with or without their wings. Altrough flying with wings is faster, avians use both ways. They have large, exquisitely feathered wings, coloured as snow white or dirty gray. Pointy ears and pale skin. Eyes are green or light blue. They are good and aligned to the powers of light, at least most of them. Their major foe is and always has been the vampires. Avians live longer than humans, from 100 to 200 years.

Draconians
Draconians are half-dragons. They are shapeshifters, whitch can have a form of human or dragon, but not both at the same time. Draconians are not so powerfull as the real dragons, altrough they have some magical abilities, like breathing fire even in their human form. But only blood of Royal draconian can be a deadly poison for a vampire. Because of their draconic blood, they live longer than the average human, averaging 150 years if given good health.

Vampires
Vampires are an ancient race. A vampire needs to drink blood to survive, and usually the blood of the living. Their bodies can repair themselves over time, but not of fatal injuries. They have a weakness in the fact that dragon blood, if ingested, can kill them in a matter of minutes. By their very nature to feed off other living things, vampires tend to be chaotic, and evil. Eyes are dark red if they‘re full, and ligot red is they‘re thirsty. Very pale skin.

Pixies
Pixies are small, winged creatures like fairies. They use pixie dust to work most of their spells, being very magical creatures. They are so tiny that chances are you wouldn’t be able to notice any of their distinct features, and their voices would be very chirpy and light. Pixies are like your little attendants, going everywhere with you. They are often called ‘home pets‘ , which is wrong, because these little creatures have wonderful personalities.

Elves
Calling the forests their homes, they have a keen ability to use both a bow and a sword, a skill taught to the sons and daughters while still young. They have their own language, customs, and religion. While they can be of any alignment, their natural disposition is toward a chaotic good, or neutral. In other words, for every seven years that passes, they age about one human year. Unlike humans, elves are typically small to the point of frail-looking, and physically weaker than other races. What they lack in brute strength they make up for in magical ability. They typical have fair hair, light almost pale skin, and light-colored eyes.

Humans
Humans are the only race without inherent weaknesses or strengths. They haven’t the brute strength of the orc, giant, or dragon. They haven’t the high level of magic ability that elves do. They also have no inherent alignment, ranging the spectrum from lawful good to lawful evil. Because of their ability to learn, they can practice any profession and have any class available.

Dryads
Dryads are women who live in the trees. They are most closely related to elves and pixies, with pointed ears and a very strong tie to magic. Often they are viewed as enchantresses or seductresses, for their songs and voices can lure men deeper into the forest, even to their deaths. They are typically flighty and playful, whatever their alignment. Because of their strong ties with nature, a dryad may be affected when her forest and her tree are. If a logger cuts down her tree, she won’t die, but she may lose the will to live. They are beautiful in an unearthly way.
