It has been suggested that this article should be rewritten or updated.
There are currently 4 playable races as well as 3 non-playable races in the game. Each of the playable races resides in a particular ecosystem on Atys.
Homin Races
With the exception of the Kami, the civilised races native to Atys are known as Homins. All homins share certain traits - they are bipeds, capable of the use of technology, magic and communication; and all are subject to continual attempts at religious conversion by the Kami and Karavan. However, the four homin races also differ significantly. Their ideals, principles, and histories are unique - and each race has its traditional allies and enemies; although, of course, some individuals choose to go against these.
 |
Fyros | |
|---|---|---|
| Locale: | Burning Desert | |
| Faction: | Kami | |
| Description: | The Fyros are bold warriors from the deep and deadly deserts who lead a quest for the dreaded Dragon of the Myth. Determined, loyal and fierce, the Fyros rank themselves among the greatest Atysian warriors who have built their society on a strict code of honor. |
 |
Matis | |
|---|---|---|
| Locale: | Verdant Heights | |
| Faction: | Karavan | |
| Description: | The Matis are proud heirs of an old Monarchy from the haunted woods who seek to restore their lost Kingdom. Highly cultivated aesthetes well versed in forest botany, the Matis are both a romantic and a conquering race. They staunchly believe that, just as every particle of the universe has a function, every homin must strive for his or her true place in society. |
 |
Tryker | |
|---|---|---|
| Locale: | Aeden Aqueous | |
| Faction: | Karavan | |
| Description: | Shorter of stature then other Homin races, The Tryker have retained their flighty and carefree nature despite the events of the past. Excellent explorers and inventors, as well as experts in wind technology, the Tryker have built their new civilization in marvelous floating cities of the lakelands, dreaming of a world without the burdens of tyranny or intolerance. |
 |
Zoraï | |
|---|---|---|
| Locale: | Witherings | |
| Faction: | Kami | |
| Description: | The Zoraï are a race of blue skinned homins that reside in the continent of Witherings. The Zoraïs are feared mystics from the dark and hidden jungles who zealously serve the living planet. In their search for spiritual enlightenment, the Zoraïs have grown close to the mysterious Kami. |
