BS&BS does not use the traditional races. Oh, there are your basics, but we go far beyond that with 24 total races. They are broken down into two categories: civilized and outcast races; this helps guide the Lorekeeper. Each race has unique skills and even a knack that differentiates them from each other by making them self reliant yet part of a grander scale. Each race also has their own unique mount that they can start with when they begin their journeys.

Here's a sneak peek at a few of the races:

Woverans are a race of wolf-men similar in appearance to humans. They are a race of beings that are naturally born with the lycanthrope disease in their bloodline. Their natural ability to control their change makes them far different to the unnatural abominations that are the real Balverines that change any race into a permanent werewolf.

Aerions are a bird-like humanoid race, which closely resembles the Elfare in facial features and build. Their wings are of a magical nature for the Aerion can hide their wings from view even if wearing armor. Their communities are built in the highest treetops or on mountains where the air currents are strongest.

Gillanders , once thought to be mythical creatures born of folklore and tales of old (before the shattered lands); villages would tell of giants that inhabited the snow-covered Mt. Ijuf in the region of the Sojinin Peaks. Most stood taller than 8 feet, had broad shoulders, were very muscular and had eyes that would glow an eerie purple in the twilight.
