Humans

The most varied race of Vian and one of the most powerful. Humans came from the nearby continent of Balthara, but after the invading Orcs destroyed their home and forced them into exile. After traveling in the Raging Sea for many years, they arrived at Vian causing mayhem to the native races. After hearing their story, the Dragon Melonax gave them their own land for them to settle in peace, forming the Kingdom of Joten, a Kingdom with six families, each with their own estate. -While they aren't the smartest or physically strongest, Humans are able to use powerful magics that the other races cannot dream of achieving. This magic is called Revenant, a process where a host allows an elemental spirit to enter his or her body in exchange for power over Elemental Arcanes. This can allow all humans to use magic if they so choose, but at a cost. Alongside this, humans are the most numerous of all the races so even if a war waged on, humans will always have a numbers advantage.
Orcs

As you can imagine Orcs are the physically strongest of the humanoid races, but are also the dumbest. Orcs are natives of OrZhaan, a cold mountainous land in the eastern border of Vian. The Orcs live in a divided tribe-like society barely held together by a code of glory. Since they live in a mountainous region, farming is hard so the orcs work as mercenaries and blacksmiths to provide for their families, however when this doesn't work well enough the Orcs turn to raiding outside lands. Even as children, Orcs are baptized in a trial of combat where they must defeat another in single combat. Those who win stay in the tribe, and those who lose will be killed. -Since they are the physically strongest race, Orcs prefer matter over mind tactics using brute force to solve most problems, but this makes them open to magical assault. To compensate, the Orcs make a special armor made from black boklite, a metal with magic nullifying properties that is only found in Orzhaan. Alongside this, the orcs can use a special blood magic to conjure a familiar that can be used as a companion, 2nd warrior, or even as a mobile battery for Arcane energy.
Sun Elves

By far the smartest and most magically attuned race of Vian. The Sun Elves, also known as Alveric Elves, come from a land to the far west known as Alver. This land is a beautiful paradise with beautiful forests, floating mountains, and Arcane rivers. No humanoid race has more magical power than them, and no race has more intellectual prowess. Sun Elves live by a very strict hierarchy system where only the powerful can advance while the weak are left behind with the most powerful being Priests of the Sun, and Royalty. -Sun Elves are natural born masters of magic, being attuned to flame and light making them more powerful pyromancers than the other races. What makes them extremely powerful is their ability to use the Sun's light as Arcane energy giving them an infinite amount of energy during daytime. Finally, Sun Elves can manipulate light into many things including weapons, shields, barriers, and even familiars. However their smaller builds make them considerably weaker than other races forcing them to heavily rely on their magic.
Moon Elves

A native, and a magically attuned race of Vian. The Moon Elves, also known as Voralian Elves, are one of the original inhabitants of Vian who choose to reside within the great Voral Forest. As their name suggests, Moon elves are attuned to the moon's energy making them polar opposites of the Sun Elves; these nimble people live in a nomadic society traveling around the forest spreading their wisdom and knowledge to any they come across. One defining feature is that they are a very peaceful people choosing peace over war however they are not afraid to defend themselves. -Due to their peaceful nature, most moon elves do not use aggressive magics but they are incredibly nimble, and are master fighters since they are often targeted by wild creatures and even other kingdoms. What many people don't know is that the Moon Elves are great fighters, fine archers, and powerful sorcerers. Moon elves can use moon light as Arcane energy and even store it inside special gems that can be used for healing. Finally what is quite possibly the most powerful skill they possess is the ability to conjure a powerful ward spell that can protect the user from most magic for up to a day.
Dwarves

Another native of Vian are the dwarves, who are misnamed. Instead of standing shorter than the others, Dwarves dwarf the other races standing at least 7 feet tall with long beards and muscles to match their stature. Dwarves come from underneath the ground, a place they call Val'Shathok, deep within the Cracked Mountains. While they are strong, Dwarves also possess a witty mind that they unfortunately use to find new ways of making alcohol, and cutting gems rather than maintaining nationwide peace. Dwarves live by a communistic status where they all work for whatever they earn, but it is abused by some turning it into a capitalistic 'dog eat dog' world for them. -Since they are the tallest humanoid race, the Dwarves are among the strongest races second only to the Orcs. This strength allows them to forge tougher metals, withstand harsher environments, and even absorb impact. Their armor is second to none in terms of raw strength, their skills in combat can rival the orcs however, the dwarves have no magical talent and are unable to use magic. They can use magical materials for things like runes but magic is not an option for them. To compensate, the Dwarves maintain a strict trade policy over a material known as Estani, an extremely valuable gem used by sorcerers.
