Alseids
- Elves, ur-shard-species
- A number of distinct, regional cultures existed, though they spread and blended in many places
- oreads (synnephian ori), dryads (potamia, cypress coast), neriads (thalassa velos isles), esperides (esperines and western dytikos), limnades (eastern Antolikos, Erimia), auloniades (phidion coast, eastern dytikos, epolosia)
- Oread and dryad came to refer to the fury-mutated descendants of those cultures.
- The other terms remain, with Alseid as the blanket term for the species.
- Sub-species
- Pligian Alseids (Queensplague)
- Dro-on (Night mutation)
- Naiads (interbred with / shepherded by Chemaros)
Alseid Ferals
- Satyr (goat)
- Pythians (serpent)
- Harpies (bird)
- Kynokephaloi (jackals)
- Psarikampoi (fish, sharks)
- lycanthropes continue to occur, but there are also some leftover 1st gen lycans (since fey are ageless), they are super-powerful and thoroughly soaked in the Long Night. "Moon-beasts", some of the legendary monsters of Pelithos (Nemean Lion, etc)
- 2nd gen lycans mellow enough to form social groups with others of their kind.
- 3rd gen lycans are ferals, fixed in form, sane in mind. In many places, they are second class citizens in societies ruled by 2nd gen lycans.
Dryads
- As the Aphxanamos grew, the fey of the dryad culture of Potamia was changed by exposure, becoming plant-like. The term dryad came to refer to the species.
- Sub-species
- Nightshade Dryads (Night mutation)
- Pligian Dryads (Queensplague)
- Dendric Dryads (drank the Elixir of Sleep)
Oreads
- As the Synnephion grew, the fey of the oread culture of Potamia was changed by exposure, becoming stone-like (marble-statue-like, of various colors), larger / stronger / tougher. The term oread came to refer to the species.
- After the first titanomachia, oreads settled in the kyterian ori and golden waste; through now fairly resistant to fury, they did take on a distinct appearance from its influence, more tawny sandstone and dark basalt and obsidian.
- Sub-species
- Pligian Oreads (Queensplague)
- Moonstone Oreads (Night mutation)
- Lithic Oreads (drank the Elixir of Sleep)
Outlanders
- humans (mostly from acrolonian invasion), orcs, dwarves
- minotaurs (nor feral)
- Demonbloods (interbred with demons; human derived mostly, some derived from alseids or others)
- Azer / Dactyloi (dwarf mutants)
??? Centaur Nyxian Centaurs (intentional Night mutation by the Helm)
Tritons (migration into the Strange Sea) Vathys (Obyrith-warped) Proteans (Fall and Night mutation)
Grimm (stone Nor) Myrmidons (Fall mutation)
Lamia
- interbred with Codex servitors; or maybe this is a type of independent pattern servitor? or hybrid?
- or maybe they are succubus-pythian hybrid infiltrators from the invasion, now a lingering demonic presence
