Hybrids, Half human, half animal, some born of other beastkin, but most either created by the Saurons (the Kindred) or by other unnatural experiments

The list of Bloodline races include the Wolfen, the Rakken, The Ogryn, The Dark Unicorns, The Forsaken, and The Bloodstone.

Draken
Or The Dragons are an ancient race of winged, reptilian people who can normally be found on Faerie, they can take the shape of humans. Some would consider them wise, some backward looking, some think they are rather dim witted, they consider themselves superior, its best to show respect when you see them, since they are very powerful.
Dwarves
A quiet and frequently overlooked people, the dwarves prefer a life of seclusion and many spend the majority of their lives beneath ground in the halls, tunnels and mines.
Elementals
Air, water, earth and fire elementals, Kami, Spirits of the Elements, also known as Sylphs (air), Undines(water), Gnomes(earth), Salamanders(fire).
Void Elementals are described below.
Fae
Elves, they are generally fair skinned with pointy ears and can be long lived, they are indigenous
to Faerie.
Forsaken
One of Bloodline races, the Forsaken resemble vampires and other undead but lacking many of their traditional weaknesses.
Gods

Green Sepsis
The Green Sepsis was a contagion which overran Frontier pre-union destroying most indigenous fauna and mutating the flora.
Insectoids
Insect Men a newly discovered race very little is known about them, other than they resemble man sized insect.
Also called the Redvers Blighters, named after Redvers Fenn-Cooper who was the 1st person to have a Redvers Worm the larva? burrow into his leg.
Kindred
These are the Beast men or Beastkin that have been created by the Saurons as slaves but this time to be used as shock troops. Some of the Kindred have escaped bondage and have formed their own 'packs'. Needless to say they hate the Saurons.
Ogryn

Oni
Part Human, part Demon, there skin unless they wear a glamour is usually brightly coloured, they are indigenous
to the Thunders
Rakken
The Rakken are the most numerous race of creatures which dwell on the Shard of Faerie. They are the Rat Kin, the Vermin Tide, the Black Death. They seek to destroy both the courts but like the rats they are brothers to, their race is a cowardly one and they rarely seek direct confrontation, preferring to slowly gnaw away at their enemy. It is believed that Rakken are one of the Bloodline races.
Sauron
Saurons are a race of reptilian humanoids and the true rulers of Frontier. They come in many forms from the highly intelligent priest king rulers to the enormous brutal enforcers. Their culture and outward appearance is very similar to that of the Aztec/Toltec culture of South America. They are experts in the archaic science/magics of bioengineering that they use to create Abominations and Kindred.
The Sidhe
Forest & Water Sidhe, Nature spirits, come in many different forms some are almost human like whilst others stand little more than three inches tall. Some have fragile wings whilst others have skin as tough as wood and limbs as thick as a mans waist.
The Sutekh
This is another ancient race. They are known by many names -Sea Demons, Silent Death from Below, Deep Ones just to name a few. It is thought they live in twisted coral cities deep below the waves. They are a great threat to sea traffic and many a boat has been lost to a Sutekh attack. It is fortunate that they can only live on land for short periods of time or they would have easily over run all of the other cultures by now. There are tales told of how the Sutekh breed with captured females and swap the offspring with human children in the dead of night but these are just stories to frighten children (aren't they?).
Void Elementals
Void Elementals, Aether Elementals or Darklings are not really Elementals they are the trapped forms of those creatures that once inhabited the Netherworld before it was cut off during the Re-union of the Shards
Wolfen
One of the Bloodline races, they resemble werewolves but do not have their weaknesses, rumours say they were used to seek others bloodlines
