 Some races are further divided into subraces, shown with asterisks below. While most races only interbreed, there are a few races that are capable of breeding with others. Their offspring are commonly known as half-breeds. Some races are further divided into subraces, shown with asterisks below.

-=== Standard rollable races:=== +===== Standard rollable races =====
 These standard races are known as "civilized races" or "high races" in the setting. Humans are the most numerous of the civilized races, occupying many regions above ground. The elves are mostly withdrawn into their vast forests, while dwarves reside in the mountains below. Most members of a civilized race are welcome in the settlements of another, if sometimes with an air of distrust. These standard races are known as "civilized races" or "high races" in the setting.

-=== Templates === +=====Templates=====
-Templates are added to your character's race and gives you additional strengths +
-and weaknesses. Those that can be chosen at creation are only available to those +
-with a 30+ character on their account. They are PK races.+
  
-Templates that may be chosen at creation: [[Werewolf]], [[Weretiger]], [[Wererat]]+Besides race and class, characters can sometimes gain something called an acquired template, which represents a major occurrence that changes the character in some essential way. Templates do not take the place of race but are a sort of modifier to race.
  
-Templates that may be gained through RP: [[Agent of Chaos]], [[Deva]], [[Feyborn]], [[Mortuum]], [[Shade]], [[Undead]], [[Vampire]]+There are a few templates which can be taken on character creation:\\ 
 +[[Wererat]]\\ 
 +[[Weretiger]]\\ 
 +[[Werewolf]]\\
  
 +Other templates are acquired through player or avatar plots, the end result of a story, where something major happens to alter the character. Some templates can be the result of divine intervention, some through alchemical or thaumaturgical experimentation, while others can be contracted or be the victim of a curse.
  
-General Information+There are several factors that staff will expect before granting a template. One is that it is a request from a main character with at least six months of regular play. We don't expect you to log in every day, but that the focus is on this particular character instead of an alt. Another factor is that there is evidence of RP towards this goal, with a combination of pcnotes and avatarmails displaying the events that have befallen your character, or actions they have taken, that would lead them to the conclusion of this story.
  
 +When embarking on a plot to achieve a template or once you feel you have achieved these goalposts in your character's story, we would ask that you send up an avatarmail with the request, as well as a brief synopsis of the story or reasoning for the template. Staff will then review your request, and either let you know which factors need further emphasis (along with specific suggestions to achieve your desired story) or will approve the request.
 +
 +A character may ONLY have ONE template and should consider them permanent.

 +Note on Physical Features
 +
 +A small note on physical features of a race, while most race help files have a small amount of examples, those can be expanded on. There are of course limitations on what those can be. If you are unsure if it is setting and/or lore appropriate, please send up and avatar mail or ask on the newbie channel or lore channel on the discord. It's better the staff help you early on to keep within the game's setting at level 6 than when your character reaches level 50 and we don't notice till then.
