People and cultures

There are a multitude of people and cultures spread over the world, producing different features in appearance, preference of habitat and to some extent even abilities. The races that hold the major civilized cultures and empires are humans, dworig, ailvu and uruks. There are two races however, trulr and vetter, that are not builders of civilizations, rather the former is fully nomadic and later is tribal in their organization.

Races, their origins and traits

There are many myths and theories about the origins of the species of humanoids in the world. In the modern age there is a major discussion between academics who study the theories of life and its origins. Some argue that at some point there must have been a common denominator while others refute this and instead say each race is fundamentally different in origin and that at some point there instead began a co-evolution. More outlandish still are interpretations of religious and mythical texts, some saying that each species has origins from other worlds and brought together by some higher deity while others claim some sort of catastrophic event causing the appearance of the different races. Beyond the cause of creation, biologists and anthropologists agree that certain features are shared between all humanoid races, specifically the dimorphism between the sexes with varied degree but all share the same attributes as it comes to procreation, as the female carries, birth and has the natural means of nurturing the young.

Racial conflicts

Conflict between different racial groups is not uncommon. While there are and have been cultures that have had peaceful coexistence between racial groups the opposite is also true. 

Peculiar abilities

Over the last decades there have appeared people possessing peculiar abilities that people around them claim to be near supernatural in performance. These abilities are most commonly described being skills that a person is able to perform in a manner that it is beyond what a normal person ever could dream of achieving. Because of this the term of a natural genius is given to anyone that shows such great ability. While not too common the appearance of such natural geniuses seem to be ever rising in the modern day and while particular skills may vary a common feature among all of them is an uncanny ability to focus their minds onto whatever skill or task it is they are undertaking.
