Humanoid, Creature Type
Humanoids are the main peoples of Azimuth, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. They have language and culture, few if any innate magical abilities (though most humanoids can learn spellcasting), and a bipedal form.
The most common humanoid races are the ones from prominent nations of the world, including humans, dwarves, elves, and orcs. In addition, there are a variety of other species, as well as numerous but far more savage and brutal races at odds with civilizations across the many lands of Azimuth.
