*'''Goblins, Hobgoblins, Brownies'''. These wily creatures long had a marginal existence until the Empire recognized their potential. Although goblins are traditionally associated with the fringes of civilization – inhospitable mountain regions, deep forests or deserts – a sizeable number now ive within the Empire. Depending on the region, goblins have usually adopted a few specific tasks. In some areas they are known as tinkers and as crafters, in others they are highly valued as shepherds or as night-guards; some military companies have goblins among their ranks too. They usually associate with others of their kind as they are often the target of prejudice and resentment. ''Use goblin stats, but they will need to be tweaked for more craftiness than strength - Crafty Games has an explanation of how to do this on their site.'' 
*'''Drakes, Dragons, Firelizards'''. Created as a vanity by the Saurians, Drakes now live mostly in the far west. There, they live a nomadic life, preying on large herd animals and on western barbarian tribes and Visters. Small numbers still live such a life within the boundaries of the Empire, but they have largely been hunted to extinction as trophies. More recently, the Empire has forged alliances or compacts with some of the principal drake lineages, so individuals or small groups are to be seen.
*'''Saurians. Lizardmen'''. To the south and east is the ancient and cultured empire of saurians ruled by the Divine Majetrix. These people were once overlords of Huthgaar until they were expelled by a great magic wrought by the northern witches. With the union between Huthgaar and Alaya, the Empire now counts some saurians as Imperial citizens, much to many's dismay.
*'''Underfolk, Dwarves, Trolls, Goblins'''. Again, much superstition surrounds the Underfolk. In some places they are the stuff of bedtime stories and nightmares, in others they are trading partners to civilized folk. Underfolk are usually primitive creatures who remain below ground at all cost but some have taken on civilized ways. ''Use dwarf or goblin stats.''
