Dwarves:  Norse in the extreeemeeee.  The dwarves are the greatest craftsmen in Amora.  They are the only creatures capable of producing magic items (other than by attunement).  Their value system revolves around being storied, and around material wealth.  They love to drink, to fight, and to make.  They are active raiders, quick to anger and take offense, and hold a grudge for a very long time.  Of course, they are also fiercely loyal, brave, and incredible craftsmen.  <br>

Elves:  The youngest (gasp!) of the races.  Elves were created, or so the Fae claim, by Faeries as their servants and slaves.  Of course, there are a decent number of elves, and there aren't very many faeries, so lots of people doubt this.  Elves exist in several "varieties", notably wood elves, Sea Elves (the dominant racial subtype), blood elves, and stone elves.  <br>

Orcs:  Not necessarily evil, but with a value system similar to the dwarven system, just with a more cunning/violent/aggressive side to it.  Their social structure, style, and honor system approximates 16th century Japan.  In terms of battle, they are riders and nomadic raiders who are most prominent on the grasslands of the eastern continent.  They WILL be available as PCs.<br>

Elementals:  Another magical race like faeries.  They make their settlements near places of magical power and are widely disseminated.  They have a small kingdom on the northern and southern continents, respectively, but are otherwise found in small, closely knit groups.  They have no spell casters, but live off of magical energy.

Amora: 3 large island continents, which circumscribe a large internal sea, which is in turn peppered by a large number of small islands. The northern continent is primarily temperate, becoming ever more mountainous and cold as one heads farther north. The northeastern edge is, however, flat, and tundra-like. The Eastern Continent is primarily grassland and savannah, with some mountainous terrain and some forests and marshland. The Southern continent contains all manner of environments, notably a vast and extensive rainforest/jungle.
