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.
