Acanthan
 

The people of Acantha tend to be low magic users with less than half the population being skilled as mages. They live in a fairly temperate climate and have fair skin tones. Acanthans tend to have white, blonde, or silver hair with light colored eyes in blue, green, and grey. Women enjoy wearing their hair long, often in a braid or a fancy bun. Men don't normally wear their hair longer than their shoulders. While not quite skilled with the arcane, they are talented craftsmen.

Nubarian
 

Nubarians are fairly skilled magic users who dwell in the hot deserts of Nubaria. Their skin tones range from warm tan to rich brown. Men often wear their ebony hair cut fairly short while women will either wear theirs at shoulder-length, their natural tight curls unbound, or in long braids. While shades of brown are the most common eye color among Nubarians, hazel and green are not completely unheard of. Wealthier women have been known to wear teal colored face paint on their lips and around their eyes, sometimes with gold embellishments.

Their skin tones are generally shades of honey-brown. Maahirans have fairly unique hair that resembles the night sky; raven locks that shine with hints of blue and glitter with starlight. It's been said the more starlight to their hair the stronger their ability in the arcane. Eye colors range from brown, green, and hazel. Men don't tend to wear their hair too short and some will even let it grow well past their shoulders. Women wear their hair long, braided or in a bun, and always covered with a loose veil.  Both dress modestly.

Drekan
 

Drekans are strong magic users and are often skilled in arcane combat. They are also the only race who can shift between a humanoid form and that of one that is essentially a dragon. They call the mountainous northern reaches of Andusk their home and as such, tend to wear warm clothing. Their skin tone tends to be light. Their hair and eyes match whatever their dragon form is. This is also reflected in their clothing. Drekans are given a name at birth that represents them in their beast form, such as Berylwing, Embercrest, and Icewing.

They prefer simple clothing in neutral shades of creams, greens, and browns.

Warder
 

Warders are fairly strong magic users and quite skilled in arcane combat. They can be found all over Earnia and can be of any race. Lore says that they were created by the Sister Goddesses of Andusk specifically to combat monsters created by dark magic. The only thing that distinguishes them from normal people are their eyes which are always a luminous jade in color and have slit pupils. There are very few Warders left in existence and they follow a set code of rules-- the most important being to stay neutral when it comes to politics and war.

Deepstrider
 

Deepstriders inhabit the oceans and seas of Earnia and are known to be slightly malicious in nature. They aren't very strong magic users but those who are skilled focus mainly in elemental magics, such as brewing up storms and massive waves to topple ships they find in their waters. Deepstriders are the reason the Drowned Ocean has its name. The females of the race are the hunters while the males raise the children. There are times when  Deepstriders are agreeable and will offer trades with the land folk of Earnia, but those trades usually come at a steep cost.

Lihauan
 

The Lihauan people are believed to be the embodiment of magic itself. They live on warm, forested islands between the Drowned Ocean and the Restless Ocean. They are incredibly strong and talented magic users, such is reflected in their glowing green hair.  They are a generally good-natured peoples who would prefer not to be brought into others' conflicts.
