Era Online has currently four different races that can be played by players.
Here is a list over them and a little description about each of them. Each race has
their own architectual ways, they have different appearances, they act different
and their relationship with eachother is different.

HUMANS

The humans are the superior race in Menath. They are the first who came to 
Menath they are considered the largest of the races as well. Everyone are friends
with them except the Dark Elves. The Humans are sited on the main continent 
(Heedi-Raa*) and they own all the cities and villages on the main continent, other
than the two Haaki towns in the desert.

WOOD ELVES

The Wood Elves are considered the most cultural of the races. They are a very
peaceful people and concentrate mostly the spirit and the nature. They are sworn
enemies with the Dark Elves, but they do not like fighting with them. The wood 
elves are sited on the Elven continent, on the northern part. 

DARK ELVES

The Dark Elves are the most hated race in Menath. They are followers of the evil
god of Bendarr and they are sited in the southern part of The Elven Continent
called The Wastelands. They are sworn enemies to the Wood Elves and the 
Humans, but they are neutral to the Haakis. The Dark Elves are always trying to
take over the throne of Menath and put their leader Kain Benwick there to no avail
yet however.

HAAKIS

The Haakis are a very primitive race located in the Great Desert on the main
continent (Heedi-Raa*). They have only two settlements, the village of Denc, and
the city of Anon-Raa*. The Haakis are neutral to everyone and they do not care
very much about politics at all. The Haakis always have a special face paint in
their faces which symbols how their childhood was.
 
* Anon-Raa and Heedi-Raa was the real names for God Of Destruction, called
  Anon-Raa, and God Of Creation, called Heedi-Raa. These two gods are most
  commonly only named as God Of Destruction and God Of Creation, but the
  Haakis wish to use their real names. They named their capitol city Anon-Raa
  because they were afriad that the god would come back and show his wrath on
  them if not. Anon is old Haaki and means "fatal", Heedi means "life" and the
  word Raa, means "superior being."
