So named for being the tallest of the human races aside from Ogres (who are extremely rare), Tallmen are the equivelant of what the reader would consider human. They are the most numerous of the human races, living across most of the world and making up about a third of the total world population. They stand at roughly 160 to 170 cm tall, live for about 60 years, and reach adulthood at age 16.

* TheBard: Namari claims that tallmen's racial hat is music and dance, though none of the major tallmen in the story are particularily musically inclined.

The longest lived of the human races, recognizeable by their pointed ears and lithe builds. Elves largely inhabit the Northern and Southern Central Continents, and due to their long livespans and natural inclination towards magic, consider themselves the upmost authority on all things magical. Elves stand roughly 150 to 155 cm tall, live for about 400 years, and reach adulthood at age 80.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: They fall close to the Tolkienesque archetype in both personality and appearance, being a long-lived race of beautiful humanoids with a natural inclination towards magic. They are also slightly shorter than tallmen on average and have very little sexual dimorphism.

Great metalworkers and explorers of dungeons, dwarves are one of the longer lived races and have a long and bitter history with the elves. They have a very strong tie to their blood relatives, and as such has no overarching national government, prefering to stay in smaller clans. Dwarves stand between 125 and 135 cm tall, live for about 200 years, and reach maturity at age 40.

Despite their love of dungeons, dwarves have no organization like the Canaries, prefering to explore dungeons at their own leasure without strict rules.

* AntiMagicalFaction: As a rule, dwarves have little inclination towards magic, and tend to feel bad when it's used on them. As a result, most dwarves distrust magic on principle, not helped by their long enmnity with the magic-using elves.

A spiritual race that prides itself on having a close connection to nature spirits. Gnomes resemble dwarves and have close ties with them, to the point where other races sometimes confuse them, but are much more inclined towards magic. Gnomes stand at roughtly 120 to 130 cm tall, live for about 240 years, and reach adulthood at age 40.

The tallest and broadest of the human races, ogres are easily identified by both their size and by the horns growing from their foreheads. Though they were at one point plentiful, their numbers have declined greatly in modern day, now only living in a few villages in the Eastern Archipelago and the Western Continent. Ogres stand at roughly 190 to 200 cm tall, live for about 58 years, and reach adulthoot at age 15.

* DyingRace: Once they ruled an empire, now only a few remain, largely subservients to their neighbours. It's theorized that their great size is the cause of their downfall, preventing them from moving around quickly on horses like tallmen, or that their great appetite made them vulnerable to enviromental changes.

* OurOgresAreHungrier: Physically, they resemble japanese Oni, with humanoid bodies, fangs, and horns.

A demihuman race resembling humanoid boars, orcs are often considered to be monstrous by other races due to their tendency to attack and kill adventurers. They are a race in disapora, having been driven out of their lands by other races, and now taking up residence in dungeons and old mineshafts. Orcs stand between 150 and 160 cm tall, live for 55 years, and reach adulthood at age 14.

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: The manga foregoes the Tolkienesque or Warcraftesque designs for orcs, instead designing them to look like humanoid boars, with prominent noses, thin fur, and a great sense of smell.

A demihuman race resembling humanoid dogs, kobolds live in the desert regions of the Western Continent where they can survive thanks to their ability to survive even the harshest enviroments. Despite their cutesy appearance, they are ferocious in battle and not to be treated lightly. Kobolds stand between 140 and 150 cm tall, live for 55 years, and reach adulthood at age 13.
