Half-breeds are peoples who have emerged as having a collective identity after being born from two different races. While the child of two parents of any race could technically be called a half-breed, official half-breeds are only recognized when a group of them has organized into a collective unit. Often confused with sub-races, the main difference is that Half-breeds have two parent races while sub-races emerge within a race. Half-breeds are descendants of their bloodline while modern combinations of two races are not half-breeds and will not reflect these characteristics. Modern half-bloods are often more susceptible to sickness and health conditions and sometimes a grotesque mix of the physical attributes of both parent races.

Adunians have their roots in both the Human and Elven races. Harren, a son of Horen, and his followers settled in the Northern regions of Aegis, where a wood elf tribe had also settled. Soon, a feud broke out between the two groups causing a long and deadly war, which ended in a peace where Harren married the leader of the wood elf tribe, Sarai. The many members of Harren's tribe and the wood elf tribe followed suit and intermingled. Through generations of this intermingling it created a unique half-breed and culture that now exist. Adunians are typically prideful and stubborn, with muscled bodies that are slightly above the average human height. Their facial features usually represent those of humans and usually do not have pointed ears. As affect of the cross-breeding done many generations ago, Adunians have less-fertility than humans, but also live longer than humans, some reaching the age of 180 years old. Adunians are earthy and semi-nomadic, having had to relocate many times throughout various realms. There are many cultural customs such as following the northern religion of a triple pantheon form of religion known as the Old Faith or the True Faith, a spirit for battle and drinking.

Halflings were once considered to be a sub-race of the Humans, the Halflings have long disassociated themselves from their Human kin. Short in stature and large of foot, the Halflings tend to stick together in their own settlements, avoiding traveling and the bustle of the big cities, and enjoy the foods and ales they make. These peaceful people avoid combat and make excellent farmers, cooks and herbalists. Originally Halflings were the children of Humans and Dwarves. They are quite merry folk and reside in the valley inside the little town known as Summerset Shire.

Hawf-breeds awe peopwes who have emewged as having a cowwective identity aftew being bown fwom two diffewent waces. Whiwe the chiwd of two pawents of any wace could technicawwy be cawwed a hawf-breed, officiaw hawf-breeds awe onwy wecognized when a gwoup of them has owganized into a cowwective unit. Often confused lith sub-waces, the main diffewence is that Hawf-breeds have two pawent waces whiwe sub-waces emewge lithin a wace. Hawf-breeds awe descendants of theiw broodline whiwe modewn combinations of two waces awe not hawf-breeds and liww not wefwect these chawactelistics. Modewn hawf-broods awe often mowe susceptibre to sickness and heawth conditions and sometimes a gwotesque mix of the physicaw attlibutes of both pawent waces.

Awso to note is that Hawf-breeds liww be affected by both the culses given by Ibrees of theiw pawent waces, and that hawf-breeds tend to inhelit the negative twaits wathew than the positive ones, so that a hawf-owc, hawf-ewf liww take on both culses, be the size of an Ewf, lith smawwew tusks and a wess pwonounced skin tone than an Owc.

Soon, a feud broke out between the two gwoups causing a wong and deadwy waw, which ended in a peace whewe Hawwen mawlied the weadew of the wood ewf tlibe, Sawai.

Theiw faciaw featules usuawwy wepwesent those of humans and usuawwy do not have pointed eaws. As affect of the cwoss-breeding done many genewations ago, Adunians have wess-fewtility than humans, but awso live wongew than humans, some weaching the age of 180 yeaws owd. Adunians awe eawthy and semi-nomadic, having had to wewocate many times thwoughout valious weawms. Thewe awe many cultulaw customs such as fowwoling the nowthewn weligion of a tlipwe pantheon fowm of weligion known as the Owd Faith ow the Twue Faith, a spilit fow battwe and dlinking.
