Aurealis Race Listing/Descriptions -------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Info on Races: The Realms of Aurealis are inhabited by many different types of creatures. The more intelligent variety of these creatures are players. (You are a player :)) Since each monster in the Realms can be of any race or class, so too can a player. As more and more of the Realms are explored, it is possible that more and more races will be discovered, as well as more types of mobs. The following is a brief listing of the KNOWN races and some attributes associated with each. Human: ------ Humans are the most common of all the races found throughout the Realms. Since it is possible for a human to thrive in any class many choose this class over all others. Humans gain no advantage in any particular category, but they have no major setbacks either. For an all around player, human is the way to go. Elf: --- Elves are a physically smaller race as compared to most, but are among the most intelligent of all races. They are good with magic and usually dwell in a forest like atmosphere. One disadvantage of the elven race is that they lack the strength of some of the other races, but they more than make up for it in intelligence and wisdom. Half-Elf: --------- Half-elves are a combination of the human and elven races. Little is known how this race came to be, but it is well known that they nicely combine the qualities of both humans and elves. Though slightly smaller than normal humans, they possess more prowess in melee than do the elves. Orc: ---- Orcs are one of the most misunderstood races throughout the entire Realms. Most think of orcs as to be aggressive towards anything that moves as well as being completely stupid. This, however, is not completely true. Indeed, orcs are not as intelligent as many of the other races, but they can reason out basic things and can learn new skills if given enough time. They do have the advantage of being quite strong and sometimes even formidabble foes. Ogre: ----- Ogres, on the other hand, are incredibly dumb. Even after many repetitions of something, an ogre will not get the hang of it. They are, however, tremendously strong and have a very high endurance. This makes an ogre a very tough opponent to fight in most battle situations. Drow: ----- Little is known of the drow race other than they are usually very intelligent and quite adept with the arcane arts. Most often evil, a drow prefers to live out of direct sunlight and their battle skills diminish greatly if caught in the daylight. Pixie: ------ The little people are extremely fast and agile and have the ability to baffle all but most quick adversaries. Once hit though, a pixie can't take a great amount of damage because of their very small size. Usually, a pixie will try to stay away from the evil side of the spectrum and live a life of goodness. Mobs: ----- Mobs are any one of the MANY monsters and/or other type of things you will face everyday while in the Realms. Whether a dragon or just a rabbit, intelligent or dumb, any mob at any time can be a potentially dangerous foe if not taken seriously.
