Races

Of Races, and the Benefits Thereof
For the most part, each Race here has an equal and opposite member. Testificates can open up shops all they want, but without the Humans to transport their goods they won't have anything to sell. Gnomes can tinker with their tech, but Witches love their magic. Dwarves love the dark and their minerals, and Elves love the sun and their trees. Pigmen, well, they have to struggle to keep the food supply up to scratch with the hunger of everyone else, including themselves.
