The mortal races, Human, Orcish, Dwarven, Gnomish, Halfling, Quarterling, and Breedling (Half-blood), are widely dispersed in the known lands of Nymrii, the varying climates and biomes producing unique racial characteristics in each, along with vastly diverse cultures, and even languages. Desert clans of all races are darker-complected, jungle tribes tend toward a smaller, leaner frame. It is rumored that isolated pockets of true Elves remain, in the far mountain and forest reaches, but to date, it remains unverified speculation.
