| |
| − | 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 stout, bearded 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.

| |
| − | '''50 pts'''<br>
| |
| − | As their name suggests, giants are. . . well, giant. They live in hills, usually secluded from civilized society, perhaps because they are generally looked upon as "savages" or "barbarians." Not all giants are barbaric, however. While not very intelligent, giants have, upon occasion become --if somewhat grudgingly -- accepted members of society. Giants look like humans for the most part except that they are around fifteen feet tall.
