X. THE RACES OF DRAGON'S GATE

Dragon's Gate has 19 distinct races available for players, and for many reasons we DO NOT intend some of them to team with others. Therefore, some races have hostilities between them. Please keep this in mind when selecting which race your character will be and while role-playing your character. There are 3 other races that walk the lands of Aradath but can not currently be created and developed by players.

The Major Races ...

Dragon's Gate is currently in its fifth age as recounted by its intelligent inhabitants. There are many intelligent races in Dragon's Gate, and some semi-intelligent creatures that are frequently encountered by adventurers. A brief description of each race and some pertinent abilities follows. Each race has certain attitudes, philosophies, and other characteristic tendencies that are shared in general by ALL of its members. Some of the races are OPENLY HOSTILE to members of other races, and WILL NOT create an alliance/friendships with members of those races. As a newcomer, it is wise to be aware of these relationships, to avoid difficulties later on.
