Humans are the most common race on both Earth and Æther. They are considered the "base" race.
 
 
Humans have no traits.
 
 
=== Behemoth ===
 
 
'''35 pts'''<br>
 
Behemoths are very large, very strong reptilian creatures. They have four arms and usually orange or reddish scales. They hail from the Far West of Æther, and come from a very rigid, honor-driven culture. While they may be prone to violence (being a good warrior is held in higher esteem than all else), they are quite civilized and have strict laws governing such things. Behemoths make formidable foes and powerful allies, but their hulking forms and warlike dispositions generally make them feared and discriminated against by most other races.

Dwarfs are little creatures measuring a tad less than three feet tall. But they lack in stature they make up for in skill and sheer grit. They are excellent miners, smiths, and metal-workers, and surprisingly tough for their size. Dwarfs usually live underground and make nasty fighters when forced to defend their subterranean homes.
