The Five Races are five distinctive species of humanoids who evolved together in an unknown region of the world. The only facts that still remain are that they journeyed from that region into the land of the current Xheng Empire.

The Mithra

Consisting of a matriarchal society there are far more female mithra than male. The Male mithra perform domestic work and are almost never seen by outsiders and non-mithra. They are smaller than humans by standard around five feet tall on average. They're descendants of a feline race so they have their tails. They posess excellent balance, speed, stealth, hearing and sense of smell and sight. The mithra lead a rather nomadic lifestyle until recently. Their heirarchy is lead by chiefs and a eventually a queen. The mithra's mobility and speed makes them idea scouts. Mithra and Humans have relatively similar lifespans around 80 years standard.

The Elvaans

Tall, strong and a warrior race, the Elvaan in their medieval times were the most formidable nation of the era but with the invention of gunpowder came their decline. However since their adaptation to more military tactics of the modern era they became formidable soldiers again. Under the Tarutaru's administration they have become respected soldiers in their armie. They are stronger than humans and larger in size which puts them as good shock troops. Elvaans are longer lived than Humans and Mithra, reaching up to 120 years standard. Elvaans have a strict code of conduct which is similar to chivalry by Europeans. The Elvaans of the modern age are excellent soldiers who consider enlisting in the armed forces to be of extreme importance.

The Tarutaru

The Tarutaru are the most intelligent of the 5 races, but physically the weakest. The Tarutaru have a long history of scholarly achievements. Due to their friendly nature they work best with other races. In the Xheng Empire the Tarutaru came to dominate other races with their inventions: the Cardian Guards. However in more recent years they have allowed the other races far more freedoms allowing less tension. The Tarutaru are best suited for thinking duties such as officials, bureaucrats and administrative functions which they perform to perfection. The Tarutaru have the longest lifespans of all 5 races, 300 years average and due to Tarutaru fast reproduction a standard Tarutaru families usually have 3-6 children which means that by the time the first father died, his entire line of family tree could be over 600 members of his family. The Tarutaru are famed for their extreme friendliness and welcome visitors to their cities and nations with open arms, but they are not entirely helpless. The Tarutaru would found the Xheng Empire, the Tarutaru Union, Zionaren and many more nations.

The Galka

Though the appear male, they are actually androgenous. They have no gender and keep their reproductive abilties a strict secret. No one effectively knows how they reproduce but there are such things as Galka children. The Galka are incredibly strong physically. This does not mean that Galka are stupid, far from it since they excel at architecture. Without the Galka, many Tarutaru cities would have never been built. The Galka have life spans ranging to 250 years however since their reproduction is slower they have a relatively medium ranged population number. The Galka are almost 3-5 times stronger than any human being so their contributions to the labour force is very valuable.

The Humes/Humans

Though the Humans call themselves "humans" the Tarutaru and other race call them "Humes" for whatever reason is unknown. The Humes are the second most populous race in the Tarutaru Union and prefer to let the Tarutaru handle the massive government structure they created. Because the Tarutaru have been extremely generous and liberal there are no conflicts with them. The Humes are engineers almost by nature. Though the Tarutaru are more acedemic the Humes are experts at chemistry, physics and engineering. Much of the technological advances in the Tarutaru Union are due to human creativity and genius.
