Player races

For the moment when Archons consider adding more than 3.

NPC races

Which can be made into Player races, but probably shouldn't.

Lohrke

Not many stat bonuses/drawbacks, or even none at all. Their major rac.bonus is the ability to see in the dark, which is pretty useful in the underground. Their major rac.penalty is vulnerability to sunlight. Dunno how the latter could be implemented in a dungeon-based MUD - maybe have some places where the sun shines through the cave ceiling? Or magically created sunlight? Or maybe make them vulnerable to all kinds of bright light (e.g., magical light, bright fire, etc.)?

Volto

They're not dungeon-dwellers per se, but it would be cool to meet one, even as an NPC.

Nedynvor

See Volto.

Sentient Darkness

From DarknessQuest.

Mimiga

As a cameo.
