Dwarf
Dwarves are a hearty bunch. With their ancestral homes in the hills and mountains, and their never-ceasing drive to mine precious gems and metals, and to forge said metals, they are a constructive, practical race, given to hearty ale and laughter. Dwarves were originally created by Phaestus, the Smith, but he lacked the power to give them the greatest gift of all: free will. He sacrificed his own freedom by striking a bargain to serve Proteus (now Sarapis), then leader of the Gods, forever in exchange for the gift of free will for the dwarves.

Tsol'aa
Tsol'aa are the eldest of the mortal races, having been created in the distant past by Proteus and Daedalus. Lithe and given to deep thought, the arts, and magic, they originate from their racial home in a massive redwood forest. The Tsol'aa have two cousin races, the Tsol'teth and the Tsol'dasi. The story of this racial split is told on the History page. The Tsol'teth are malevolent and are the terror of the underground depths. Only a single Tsol'dasi has been seen in millenia, and that during the Death's Heart crisis.

Mhun
Hailing from their racial home in the underground mining city of Moghedu, the origins of the Mhun have been lost to mortal knowledge, though it remains largely unexplored outside the Mhun race, and some intrepid explorer may yet discover it. However, there are theories that they are derived somehow from early human stock, as they closely resemble humans, albeit a tad smaller and more agile. Though they are often perceived as being primitive, this is perhaps nothing but cheap racism, as few understand their culture. The Mhun played an important part in history, having provided the bulk of Nicator's army as he led it to end the ages-old war between the great cities of Shallam and Ashtan.
