| Aloria is brimming with a plethora of races scattered all about the lands and seas alike. Alorian races are all incredibly diverse and individually unique, spanning from the prosperous Humans and their excellent ability to expand to the Maraya, whose strong culture and ancient heritage has only recently begun to become more apparent to the world. What makes a race different from any other beast is primarily its sentience; a race has the ability to think, communicate, and is able to be aware of itself, while a beast cannot always do that. Races are playable on MassiveCraft while beasts are typically not, and when referenced, race names are capitalized and beast names are left lowercase. For example, a troll is a beast, while an Orc is a race.

| From the warm coastlines of [[Daendroc]] to the icy ranges of [[New Ceardia]], the Ailor Humans rule supreme in Aloria. Peaking the social, political, and economic ladder, the Ailor, often referred to as Humans, consider themselves to be the height of society (to the disdain of the other civilized races). In the beginning, they existed as barbaric peoples in [[Ceardia]]. To their eventual rise and expansion outward, the Ailor Humans have proven to be the most progressive and aggressive people of Aloria, having conquered an assortment of populations and nations. The most prominent of these conquerors are those of the [[Regalian Empire]], perhaps one of the largest ruling bodies in Aloria. Sometimes considered the inheritor realm after the fall of the [[Elven Empire]], the Regalian Empire proves to essentially be the center of Alorian life and activity, the empire’s capital sitting as a cultural, political, and economic center. While maintaining a similar build to the other Human races of Aloria, the Ailor tend to be the most diverse. Ranging from paler complexions to dark tans, Ailor Humans feature a wide spectrum of physical appearances and culture, having been a widespread people throughout Aloria. Along with their unique physical aspects, the Ailor’s culture, customs, and traditions vary even more.

Seeking both isolation and contact with the outside world, entrepreneurs and explorers alike sail to the west, bringing exotic goods and tales to the eager mouths and ears of the Regalians, making a home far away from home, and bringing the wealth of the exotic cultures of their homeland to the west, enriching the whole world around them, and themselves in the process.

Inventors and expert axe fighters, the Dwarves continue to contribute to the world’s mechanical and forging advances while they cling onto what little remains of their proud heritage, marred by the betrayal and destruction caused by other races. At the hands of the [[Dakkar]] and betrayal by the collapsing [[Nelfin]] Empire, the Dwarves suffered greatly and lost many of their great kingdoms. Many fled to the surface, others remained to defend what little pride remained. For those who did flee to the surface, integration into the [[Regalian Empire]] was inevitable, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge on [[airships]], cannons and other uses of gunpowder. Certainly, Dwarves are what gave the Regalians a technological advantage over the other major political players. Dwarves continue to fulfill an important role in the industries of this large Empire, being the only truly non-Ailor race that is universally accepted by them, albeit with some comedy at the expense of their height. The Dwarves dream of one day reconquering their Dwarven holds lost during the Dakkar wars, with or without the help of their [[Ailor]] cousins.

| Qadir, or sometimes called Mansuriya, are the native people of the [[Farah'deen]] continent before the collapse of their civilization at the hands of the [[Songaskia]]. Meticulous and precise, the Qadir are known clockworkers, fine silver carvers and praised artists who take pride and value in their expertly crafted items. The Qadir are few in the world, but they are a resilient and inventive people, distrusting of outsiders since the fall of their great Empire, yet willing to teach the lesser races in the ways of their culture and knowledge. For every calamity that strikes their people, or the world, the Qadir have some invention that will give them a chance at beating the odds. The Qadir are ruled by a collective of clockwork machines, divining decisions for a race that has lost faith in the existence of gods a long time ago. Despite their small numbers, Qadir are ever present across the world, hired by the rich and famous for their skills and unrivaled sharp sight. Their Hadritya’s, places of learning, are yearned for many would be scholars, even if entry is ever so difficult to achieve.

The Songaskians, who sport a turbulent and relatively recent history, do not have a very distinct mark on the world, but it would be foolish to not acknowledge their hand in nearly every modern event. The last remaining remnants of the Dragons, the Songaskians have proclaimed themselves the inheritors of the crown of the world, a title once held only by the majestic winged creatures that roamed the skies and lorded over the mortal races. Poised to strike from the great pearl cities built by their Sariyd forerunners, the Songaskians spread their proverbial wings across the oceans, gathering resources and manpower to achieve their own goals of world domination. Others yet continue to follow in the footsteps of their Draconian ancestors, living lives of study, self-exploration, and development to become the worthy descendants the Dragons wished them to be.

| Once the dominant race on Aloria, the Altalar are perhaps the most diverse and flexible race still existing today, and for good reason. In times since passed, the Altalar lived under the Allorn Empire, the precursor to the Regalian Empire, practising all forms of magic, perfecting every craft available to them, and setting the standard for politics and court intrigue from then on, becoming quite possibly the most influential race in the modern day. Three hundred years ago, their Empire fell, owing to a combination of circumstance, internal conflict, and invading Orcs. Coupled with the catastrophic Wildering that made their marble citadels uninhabitable, the Altalar quickly fell from grace, leaving the stage open for Ailor to take, and for every other Nelfin subrace to manifest. Still, in spite of their fall from grace, Altalar maintain themselves as formidable warriors, supremely skilled craftsmen, and powerful mages, hoping to prove to the world that, although they once fell, they are perfectly willing to climb the ladder to world dominance once more, once the opportunity presents itself, and the fates align.

| |
| To many, the Avanthar are the wild horse masters of the plains of [[Daendroc]] and the open fields stretching into [[Lusits]]. While originally being an [[Elven]] race, the Avanthar have since their first interbreeding changed far away from their Elven lineage due to their belief that the Elven race was physically inferior to the Ailor (and other races for that matter), and that they should absorb the strengths of other races. In many ways, the Avanthar have become a half-breed race, but they have developed their own unique features that set them apart from other Half-Elves. Their culture is also a far cry from the old Elven high standard of living, having reverted to being pasture nomads, but isn’t nearly as barbaric as it is often implied by ignorant [[Daendroque]] settlers. Avanthar engage in an aggressive guerrilla-style warfare employed against primarily [[Orcs]], while taking the unofficial mantle of the protectors of the plains, and all that live within. Skillful with a bow and large in number, the Avanthar are primarily a war-like race that continue the fight against the Orcs. Even three centuries after the last semblance of their [[Elven_Empire|Empire]] collapsed, the Avanthar steele on in the hopes of one day cleansing their lands of the green menace and taking up a leading role in what they call the Nelfellim, the resurgence of their Empire.

| |
| Cielothar as a name refers to the more agrarian Elves who are also commonly called the Wind Elves. This nickname comes from the fact that central to all of their settlements stands a massive windmill that doubles as their main granary as well as their social gathering center. The Cielothar are often seen as the antithesis of the [[Altalar]], believing in a tranquil existence in worship and respect of the forest, in harmony with nature and the land and at peace with the wildlife of the world. The Cielothar have returned to a much simpler agrarian existence, rejecting the urban and decadent lifestyle of the Altalar Elves and all war-like behaviors associated with it. Ironically enough this always causes the Cielothar to be seen as the victim Elves, their strong adherence to pacifism making them soft targets for [[Orc]] raiders or Human bandits. The Cielothar are often seen as infantile and naive by the other Nelfin denominations, though they are exceptionally skilled when dealing with animals and taking care of their needs.

| |
| The [[Sihndar]] are the remnants of an ancient people known as the [[Drovv]], a now extinct race of people which had been incorporated into the [[Allorn Empire]]. The Grandening period of the [[Altalar]] history saw the rise of the [[Cult of Dronnal]], a militarily inclined cult formed by the Altalar which the Drovv people developed. In the end as the Empire fell when the [[Cataclysm]] beset them, they too fell, though a different event occurred upon [[Drowda]], this event being referred to now as the [[Wretched Tear]]. This catastrophe infected their people with the Northern Taint. Their skins turned dark purple and grayish-blue, and their hair turned white. Many of them died, poisoned by the [[Void]] and [[Exist]] energies that infected them, but those that survived would eventually form the foundation of Sihndar society. Forged by their newly acquired scars these survivors would learn to inhabit the very world twisted and warped around them. They developed the strategic belief that while they needed to remain stalwart at home and keep Drowda clean of taint, that the rest of the world also needed to be cleansed in order for the healing process to truly commence. To this day, the Sihndar roam the world, hunting what they consider vile corruptions wherever they can find it, making enemies, but also alliances, with other Races and other people wherever they go with the ultimate goal of redeeming their Race.

| |text = An elusive and mysterious race, the [[Isldar]] prefer to remain shut off from the rest of the world, instead weaving their way into [[Ellador]]ian legends. This Nelfin subrace holds a central belief that [[Dragon]]s gave life to the world. They say the more elusive Isldar remain sheltered away, tending to the remaining [[Frost Wyverns]] and [[Frostweaver]]. Thanks to their icy seclusion, this subrace bears very similar features, including pale, blue-tinted skin, blue eyes, and white hair. Naturally, Isldar share the typical angular features and pointed ears of other Nelfin. As the existence of most Isldar revolve around their religious beliefs, any Isldar who leave the hold are often considered traitors or heretics for violating religious beliefs. Aside from these beliefs, Isldar appreciate song and music but generally lack the intellectual decadence of other Nelfin sub-races. Many Isldar cannot read or write, speak solely Nelfin or broken Common, and are assumed dependant on magic. Other aspects of Isldar culture and beliefs still remain a mystery as the Nelfin sub-race continues to guard its society, embedded in the worship and fear of the ancient Frostweaver dragon.

The Kathar are seen by many other races as a force of true evil, and their Empire is at war with nearly every other state in the world as a result, constantly butting heads with the other Elven States, the Orcish Tribes and the Regalian Empire.. The Kathar themselves, often also referred to as Shadow Elves, are a fair but gray and pale skinned race of Elves with peculiar physical characteristics that set them apart from the other Nelfin species. Furthermore, they have vastly differing cultures and societies that make them seem otherworldly in comparison to other Elves. From inside their walled Khalor cities, the Kathar keep the old Elven Empire alive in a far more depraved and vile state, corrupted fully by the Void Essences they sought to bring into the world. To say they worship the Archdemon and serve him as leal followers would be wrong, however. Through the centuries, the Kathar have managed to master the Void Essences that once controlled them to turn the tables and harness their unlimited energies to wage war on the world both in body and in mind.

| From the extensive forests to the rising cities reborn from the destruction of the [[Elven Empire]], the Yanar can be seen about [[Daendroc]] and other great holdings of nature, tending to their groves and gardens as their lady [[Estel]] has instructed them. Well known for their plant-like appearance, these humanoids grow flowers, bark, fungus and fruit seemingly out of (or in place of) their flesh. Yanar are elegant and pure in their youth, but withered and decomposing in their older ages, towards sixty years. Their hair and eye colors reflect the norm of the [[Elves]]; that of golden, green, blue and brown eyes, to match brunette, black, and blonde hairs (if they have hair). As mentioned before, the Yanar all bear some resemblance to a plant, whether it be fruit or vegetation. These flowery folk were born when Estel saw the need to warn the Altalar within the Elven Empire of the most recent [[Void Invasion]]. But the Altalar had strayed too far from nature, and they could not understand the Yanar. When the [[Kathar]] did come, they were able to infect the plant-like people with a mildew substance, slowly deteriorating the physical and mental states of the host until he or she turned into a dark entity of [[Behaesal]]: A corrupted Yanar. Following this, the Yanar began slowly being incorporated into Elven society, splitting with the Yanar at the Elven civil war. Now, they are renowned for their healing abilities using their general knowledge of the plantlife of Aloria, serving Regalia in that aspect and being treated with according respect.

When faced with imminent extinction, the greatest minds and mages of the their world-spanning Empire came together and constructed the [[Tohn Valeer]]; massive underground stasis vaults intended to preserve their species in an centuries-long slumber. Their slumber could only last so long, however. At the end of the Void Invasion that had pressed them into their vaults, [[Magic]] was drained from the world, an event unforeseen by the Meraic. With each passing century, extinction loomed ever closer to the sleeping race, with Tohn Valeer vaults worldwide failing without the Magic used to sustain them. While some vaults became the final grave of their inhabitants, others managed to preserve the lives of their inhabitants, and others still were subject to magical corruption, altering the biology of the Maraya within. Eventually, with the destruction brought by the Cataclysm and the [[Wildering]] in the [[Allorn Empire]], the vault seals were broken and exposed, and the sudden burst of Magic preceding these events re-activated the magic of the vaults, awakening those inside. Wrought by memory loss and the effects of long term hibernation, the Maraya that emerged into a world that was alien and hostile to them. Guided by their [[Tohn Sona]] (holy scriptures of the past), they set out in the world to try and reclaim some of their lost glory. In immediate opposition to the [[Allar]] and [[Slizzar]], the Maraya continue to struggle in a world where they increasingly come to realize that their past is long behind them, and that they have to adapt to survive in a world that is too full of other Races all fighting for dominion.

The Allar have weathered many setbacks over the centuries, surviving that which would have crushed any other race into oblivion, and turned detriment to their advantage. The most recent of these setbacks occurred during the [[Chrysant War]], in which the [[Humans]] of [[Regalia]] attempted to inflict genocide upon the Allar. In the fifteen years since, the Allar not only overcame the losses of that war, but turned public opinion on them around, and became one of the founding races of the Crown Alliance of the Regalian Empire, being some of its most prized and loyal citizens. While many other races still have disdain for the foreign lizard-looking Allar, their influence on global events as shrewd, capable and flexible people cannot be denied. With their diverse cultural caste system and specialized sub species all fulfilling a specific role in their society, Allar have quickly risen to become an intricate race rivalling even the complexity of Human society in the Regalian Empire and eclipsing the [[Elves]] in their unity and recovery of past glory. Allar remain known as highly efficient, knowledgeable and adaptable, seeking fortunes in the shadows of others, or benefit where others would not deign to look. Their alchemists are the leading alchemical inventors of the world, having unrivaled skill in the identification, mixing, and application of alchemical substances. Their gladiators remain some of the fiercest and most popular ring-fighters, being able to rip even the strongest of warriors of other races to shreds. And finally, their politicians remain flexible as ever, adeptly weaving themselves through the ruling classes, aiding in their public perception and their profiting from good relations with other races, for good, or nefarious purposes.

The Orcs are a relative newcomer [[Race]] to what is commonly seen as the main theatre of the world of [[Aloria]], but have existed for many centuries prior on lands far away, which they were forced to leave due to ecological collapse. Following a relentless journey across the far western oceans, they landed on the Daendroc coasts, using their military efficiency and destructive warfare tactics to cause the hastened collapse of the Allorn Empire. Orc colonies arose far and wide, which eventually developed into the Pōlorc that continued to subjugate the other Races in the area to fuel their military structure. Orcs are frequently thought of by other Races as dirty, brutish, and savage, with no respect for spirituality or diplomacy, but this could not be farther from the truth. With an old culture and tradition steeped in the worship of the dead and training for the future, the Orcs quickly made their mark on the world, becoming some of the most sought after military mercenaries and warriors, with legendary tales of powerful Orcs spreading far and wide. Despite each Pōlorc only having a small region under its direct control, by the service of the Gornanc in Orc society, Ikōcnanc products produced in the wake of Orc conquest have become a staple in many households. Indeed, the Orc have rapidly raced to the forefront of Alorian politics, perhaps not as the savviest politicians, but certainly as the most effective and powerful tool to be the deciding factor in many wars.
