There are a number of races in the Era universe, and they are categorized as Ancient, Elemental, Fiendish, Mortal or Spiritual.
Many of the races were created as part of an ongoing competition between the 7 titans of creation to see who could create the more interesting and advanced civilization. To make the starting playing field even the 7 worked together to create the Fae, Primals, Gods and Devils. They were to use these races to create a world that would later be used to play a cosmic game of war.
The only races native to Era are the Dragons, Elves, Humans, Goblins and Fairies, many of the other races come from the planet but from surrounding planets that were ravaged by the Cosmic Cataclysm.
Ancients
The Ancients predate modern Mortal civilization and include the Dragons, Fae, Primals, Angels and Devils. While there may have been more ancient races, they seem to have been lost to time. Unlike modern races, ancient races were brought into existence with many sub-species however slightly different for each one. To be categorized as an ancient race it must be considered immortal and were alive during the Age of Titans or are considered one of the proto races that all current known beings descend from.
While ancients were created with all 7 titans together, they were not limited to the base physical and mental features, thus allowing them to modify and create sub-species for specific functionality.
Dragons
The dragons are a sentient race and the only ancient race that is not a progenitor race but actually a descendant of the Fae. They are categorized as Ancient due to the age of their race not being a progenitor, they are exclusively found on Era.
There are many Dragon sub-species and descendants and while dragons themselves are sentient not all of their descendants are. Most notable sentient races being the Drakes, Goblins and Salamanders. Notable non-sentient or low intelligence races are Hydra, Wyrms and Wyvern.
Fae
The fae were the first ancient race to be created and is the progenitor to all other Arcana Domain races. They were created to bring order, knowledge and power to the worlds. They were created with 2 sub-species: one for the humanoid path and the other for the creature path. Both paths have the sentience option
Fae descendants include almost all non-elemental physical beings. The notable ones being Dragons and its descendants, Humans, Elves, Fairies, Dwarves, Beast-folk and most living creatures on Era. Unlike Dragons where its descendants have an even split on sentients most of the Fae descendants are not sentient.
Primals
The Primals were the second ancient race to be created and is the progenitor to all other Elemental Domain races. The purpose of this race was to introduce and regulate elemental mana which would then create the natural elements of the world such as Volcanoes, Ocean Currents, Storms, Earthquakes, etc.
