Cross Breeding
Crossbreeding occurs naturally in the plant and animal kingdom. It is no different with the sapient creatures. Due to the common ancestry among the sapient races, they possess the ability to cross breed with each other. With sapient creatures, the offspring's dominant traits come from the mother.
Human x Orc = Half-Orc (Human)
Human x Elf = Half-Elf, Human
Human x Fae = Half-Fae
Human/Elf/Orc/Fae x Fayus = Half-Fayus
Orc (f) x Elf (m) = Half-Orc (Elf)
Orc (m) x Elf (f) = Half-Elf (Orc)
Nalem x Human/Elf/Orc/Fae = Nalem (Crossbreed)
Kindling, due to their odder biology, are not capable of cross breeding with other races. A female Kindling's body is too hot for the sperm of other races to survive long enough to fertilize the egg. The female's body of non-kindling species are too cool for the sperm of a kindling to survive. Halflings, while a sub species of kindling, are known as flameless for a reason. Halflings are a phenomina of Kindlings normalizing back toward their human ancestry, much like the Kindling themselves were normalizing the extinct Magmus race toward their human ancestry. Their bodies do not necessarily run as hot as a kindling's. A Halfling with more Kindling like traits is more likely to be able to breed with Kindlings, while a halfling with less Kindling like traits is more likely to be able to breed with other sapient races. Kindling x Halfling = 50% chance Halfling, 50% chance Kindling
Kindling x Kindling = 10% chance Halfling, 90% chance Kindling
Halfling x Halfling = 10% chance Kindling, 90% chance Halfling
Halflings breeding with other races yields results differing from the observed norm. Breeding with a Halfling will result in more halfling like traits. It has been crudely linked by a certain scientific mage as 'Breeding Corgis with other breeds of dogs yields corgis disguised as the other dogs breed'. Halfling x Human = Halfling (Human)
Halfling x Fayus = Pygmy Fayus
Halfling x Fae = Halfling (Fae)
Human x Elf = Half-Elf, Human
Human x Fae = Half-Fae
Human/Elf/Orc/Fae x Fayus = Half-Fayus
Orc (f) x Elf (m) = Half-Orc (Elf)
Orc (m) x Elf (f) = Half-Elf (Orc)
Nalem x Human/Elf/Orc/Fae = Nalem (Crossbreed)

Polymorphed Beings
When a being polymorphs, their body is subjected to a warped state of DNA. Thus, a polymorphed being is capable of breeding with the species it is currently in the form of. Polymoprhed states include: Therianthropy, Temporary Polymorph, True Polymorph, Permanent Physical Warping (through fae or demonic magic), etc. Of note, Dragons will breed while polymorphed. When a male dragon breeds with females of another species, the other species' traits are dominant with few traits from the father displaying. They are considered as the mother's species. The best case scenario is eye color being that of the Drak's, mild cases having patches of discoloration or scales on the body, and major cases being physical deformities such as limbs, vestigial tails, wings (if present on father's species), horns, etc. Young born to Draks are all live births. When a female dragon breeds with males of another species, a more draconic appearance breeds out into the offspring. They are considered closer to dragons than other species, giving them the designation of 'Half Dragon'. Species of note for this are the Dragon-born, half dragons with sapient fathers. Minor traits of the father tend to slip in, such as eye color and height. Half dragons are born through eggs. Those who develop too close to the father's appearance unfortunately generally do not hatch, lacking the egg tooth to free themselves from their confines.
