4.14 RACES IN IMPERIAN
When you are born into Imperian, you will be born as one of the mortal
races: Tanari, Norrjin, Muamrite, Sylayan, Sidhe, Akrabi, Kohdon,
Ssylsin, Lycaean, Lamira, Dwarf, and Xiur. You may gain information on
the specific races with HELP <race>.
Each race has a selection of racial abilities available to it. You can
refer to HELP RACIAL SKILLS for a list of all available skills, and HELP
<race name> lists the abilities available to each race.
Other than race, each character also has a statpack. A statpack
determines your statistics, resistances and the like. You can refer to
HELP STATPACKS for more information about statpacks.
Each race has a default statpack associated with it, to make the initial
selection easier. You are however free to pick any combination of race
and statpack that you want. This is described in more details in HELP
STATPACKS.
The history of the specific races may be found in the Imperian History
Files and on the website. However, a brief description of each race is
below:
Tanari : The descendents of the Caananite humans.
Norrjin : Rugged breed of humans from the northern wastes.

will show you people online, who are visible to you, of your race.
