Alathra implements a semi-strict races system that consists of Major and Minor races. The Major races form the cultural and biological foundation of Alathra's worldbuilding. Major races have been defined by staff and include within them the most common races in the fantasy setting. Major races are supported by staff to be always included in universal worldbuilding and will exist throughout Alathra's lifespan.

A player can choose to branch off of any of the Major races to create their own subrace, referred to as Minor race. Creating a Minor race means you’re responsible for upholding its lore and involvement in the world. Minor races must be properly documented on the Alathra Wiki before a character application is submitted. If all members of a Minor race go inactive, its documentation will remain but staff will not continue their story in the greater lore of Alathra.

To create a Minor race read Guidelines for Creating a Minor Race then open a Lore & Wiki ticket on the Alathra discord.

We've placed a temporary pause on minor race submissions while we work on overhauling the process. Read more in our announcement on the Alathra discord.
