Player Races of Midwrathe

Character creation in Midwrathe differs from region to region. Generally the selection of player character races is more limited.

As far as most PCs know there are no Halflings, elves (in the traditional sense), orcs, or half-elves. Dwarves are unable to use arcane magic. Gnomes are insane (and currently not available for play as PCs). Kobolds are some weird variant of dwarves. There are several different types of humans.

While the lands of Midwrathe contain creatures of all races, the player character is currently limited to playing a race described in the regions Character Creation Guidelines.  Usually, the limit will be to one or more of the human races with the possibility of a specialty race for the given region.

Of the lands common races, here is a quick rundown on their overall demeanor.
