Humans
Humans are the late comers to the party. One of the youngest races to spreadout across the surface of
The Leitan Peninsula. They have a great aptitude for adapting to their environment and situation.
Halflings
Like most of the races on this list, Halflings are not genetically related to humans, but share many of their physical characteristics...just smaller. Halflings prefer to keep to themselves and have very little wanderlust. They are a very stable race and resist the insanity of the miasma quite well.
Half-Elves
Half-Elves are universally a union of an elf and a human. There are no second generation half-elves as they are all sterile. Half-Elves are stockier than a typical elf, but compared to a human they are fairly thin and wirey.
Half-Orcs
Genetically, the orc blood line is quite powerful. The Cross between an orc and a human, dwarf, or elf is a half-orc. If two half-orcs procreate the result is an orc. If a half-orc and a human, dwarf, or elf procreate, the result is a half-orc. There is never any regression to the human, dwarf, or elvish stock.
Half-Ogres
Half-Ogres are strong, bulky, and typically dim witted for human civilization. Unfortunately they are too small and weak to remain in most ogre encampments and tend to become loners and menaces to civilized society. Half-Ogres are capable of reproducing and any offspring retain the genetic makeup of a half-ogre; regardless of the number of generations that have passed without the introduction of pure ogre genetic material.
Miasmen
Little is known about the Miasmen, or protohumans. It is generally unknown if they are extinct or just really good at concealing their whereabouts.
