"... Human, Blisen, Elven, Shiften, and Reuary were all the races of People that lived in the Lands of Airam, Humans being the most abundant. They were generally scholars and merchants, though some also were warriors and farmers. The Blisen, however, were the heavy workers, merchants, and traders; they were strongly built and made excellent warriors. These two races lived through out the Lands, neither claiming any specific territory. The Reuary were the fish people of the Lakes of the Lands. They were covered with gills and fins, and had fish-like tails to propel them through water. They did not mingle with the other races very often and stayed in their Domains, but were brilliant when it came to trading between coastal cities. They were known, and feared, for their silver tongues in negotiating. The Shiften, the minority people of Airam, lived in the Shiften Desert behind and along the mountain range. They tended to isolated themselves from the rest of Airam and lived peaceful lives, yet were very spiritual and strong, infamous for their weapon techniques. And then, there were the Elven, people with long ears like bats; they were the dominating race. They ruled over all the land and were the high scholars and politicians, the wisest magicians and strongest warriors. The King and his guards were all Elven. Only a pure blood Elven could take the throne."
