==Humans==

''Main article:'' [[Humans in Polesia|Humans in Polesia]]

The current dominant race across Polesia, humans have had many great empires over the thousands of years they’ve been around.

==Orcs==

''Main article:'' [[Humans in Polesia|Humans in Polesia]]

Since time immemorial orcs have been at odds with other races, their time evolving in the dark Frostlands left little room for them to grow in art in culture, with every day being a struggle for the tribes survival making survival of the fittest the rule of law. Orcs have had to do monstrous things in order to live, including cannibalism and murder. This has given them a dark reputation in the world and many look on them as mindless monsters. For some this is true, but the orcs are no more predisposed to evil than any other humanoid and there are many that actually do some good.

==Elves==

''Main article:'' [[Polesian Elves|Humans in Polesia]]

Now living in a shadow of their former glory, the elves try to maintain a peaceful stance with their neighbors fearing all-out war that will likely mean their utter extinction.

==Dwarves==

''Main article:'' [[Dwarves in Polesia|Dwarves in Polesia]]


In the millennia since, the dwarves have remained both stagnant and at the same time vibrant, never claiming more than a third of their land, but always pressing against their enemies and at times managing to retake and hold their lost territory for a time before again losing it again when their enemies amass anew. It is a source of great frustration to many dwarves who long for the glory days of the Kadazhem rule.

==Gnomes==

''Main article:'' [[Gnomes in Polesia|Gnomes in Polesia]]

While the gnomes have never had an empire in the conventional sense of elves, dwarves, and humans, they have rather started a great trade empire that spans the continents and extends right through borders. Some of the greatest gnome families wield a less obvious power, that is however no less tangible than that of the Emperor of Lattanis or the Amazhek of Radezhka, while lesser families have become indispensable go-betweens and merchants.

==Halflings==

''Main article:'' [[Halflings in Polesia|Halflings in Polesia]]

Like gnomes, halflings have never had an empire in the conventional sense, though many tribes do claim vast territories in major cities or out in the countryside. Also like gnomes, halflings have found a somewhat secure place as go-betweens for the other civilized races. However, unlike gnomes halflings trade in information, not material goods. They are also natural political players, and have the sense and are not too proud to play from the background, therefore ensuring their survival as regimes inevitably change. In this regard halflings are excellent diplomats and many of their number are exceptional consular and help negotiate on behalf of nations.

==Neanderthals==
