Humans
Humans are fairly civilized. They quickly grew in knowledge of physics when in comes to science. Because of this, they are fairly advanced in designing weapons like crossbows. Unlucky for them, they gave out the knowledge to effectively make ranged weapons a few years before the great war. This newly given knowledge severely hurt them. They are currently advancing more into technology and rebuilding the city.
Elves
There are many types of elves. Elves in general, however, have a few distinct characteristics though. They are known to have big ears. These ears give them a slight hearing advantage over humans. They are also more agile. Instead of studying in Physics like humans, they studied more into the mystical stuff. Because of this, they were able to tame giant tree-like creatures commonly known as Treants. With such knowledge, they gained massive defenses with Treants being guards.
Dwarves
The dwarves are commonly known for being small and stocky. Because of their small legs, they aren't very agile. They are, however, very strong from their stocky body of pure strength. When they studied, they studied under the department of mining and blacksmithing. They are normally experts when it comes to either of those two things.
Alphidrites
Alphidrites are potentially the strongest yet the weakest race there is. They don't really have any personal strengths in knowledge or physical ability. The only thing they do have is the ability to shape-shift. This isn't normal shape-shifting, though, for they get all their abilities that isn't knowledge-based. They also keep their shape-shifting ability. The should be looked out for.
