Hybrid Races

In general for any race to be compatible with another race they need to have enough similarities for them to conceive. The following list is a list of possible combinations and whether or not that combination is still fertile.  

Half- Elf

Parents ( Human, Elf )

Fertile

This union produces a child that at first glance would look human, or maybe even a Scion, but there are a few differences that distinguish them. Elf's have a special eye sight to see the the souls of others. Half-elves do have this ability, but can only use it for a short time. They can grow facial hair and have some magic prowess. Otherwise they there really similar to a human design.  

Fexvan

Parents (Wolvan, Fexian)

Fertile

The two canine races are compatible, but the offspring are infertile. They have a somewhat different appearance compared to the two. The base physical frame would be more similar to the fexians then the wolvan. The height has been increased to about human height, but ears are lightly shorter. Fur color now ranges with the colors form both parent races. Fur texture has is a fix between the soft fexians and the coarse wolvans. Their tail is likely the same, but slightly fluffier. The highly magical race of the fexains would also be pasted on and have similar skill as the elves.  

Halfling

Parents ( Human, Dwarf )

Sterile

These mid-height people are tough and quite lucky. Something about them creates an sense of luck. Statistically, they will beats the odds, which is odd due to boths parent's normal luckiness. Physically though, they grow much more body hair then humans, but lack any facial hair.  

Aragafirca

Parents (Griffirca, Aravitourus)

Sterile

Due to their avian biology, they are compatible. There is no upper or lower half like their Griffirca parent, but fully feathered like their Aravitourus parent. However, their arms are not wings and their wings are on their back. Their coloring can also be quite unique due to the dull colors inherited from one and the bright colors from the other.  

Grifven

Parents: ( Griffirca, ( Wolvan/ Fexian))

Sterile

Due to their mammalian biology, they are compatible. Thier bodies would resemble the Griffirca, but change their lower half depending on the other parent. The Wolvan half would appear, in all fur with the majority of their body that of a wolvan, but their head and wings remain avian. The Fexian half would only be seen in the lower body. Their magic prowess now extends to both Solar and Lunar magics.  

Chimeran

Parents (Any)

Sterile

This is such a rare occurrence that the Imperium wouldn't recognize this race until 2900 S. In rare unions a child can be born, but will die before their tenth year. Their appearance would be on the mother's race and physiological features from the father would then be added. For example a father human and mother Aravitourus could result in a Aravitourus with no feathers and human arms. A Chimeran could also be born by ways of magic. Such magic would need to be extremely powerful in both parent. Life magic is the only usable magic for the process to work.
These are very rare occurrences. I've traveled all over the world and only met a handful. They are usually outcast from their village. Half-Elves might have a chance, but any other abomination doesn't stay around long.

As a orc lover I feel that I most ask. No half-orcs?

Orcs are in an odd place, since they were not naturally created like the other races. The elves created them through combining human, goblin, and minotaur essence/souldew. This has caused them reproductive issues as a result, but I assume you are looking at the human part of them. With humans they will almost always get a miscarriage, or a deformed birth. The other listed are births that typically viable, around 72%. Orc babies, if they are ever born, die 97% of the time. This forces us, at the Archives, to not recognize them as their own species. They would go under Chimeran. However, if you are looking to have an orc baby, magic can assist them to live on, but can be expensive.   I hope this makes sense.
