Races

Adriattica has lots of diverse peoples and cultures. The boundries between species is often unclear. The "race" classification should be not be taken as a purely bilogical one

Deities
Deities are beings created from the stars and created Adriattica from stadust. They lived on various planets as their homes. The pantheons on Adriattica all serve the god that created it. The prefer not to have a direct influence on the corporal world unless it pleases them. Gods are active and proveable on the basis that gods and demigods can be summoned and visited by scholars. Though the gods were prone to compete and war in the past, now they are primarily concerned with their homes of the planets they themselves created

Elves
Elves are the peoples of Venettian. While interbreeding between the elven peoples is possible, fertility rates are lower, and the production of such offspring is frowned upon

Umbrian
A taller race, the females being around 7 to 8 feet and the males around 5 to 6. Their skin ranges from black to dark grey and their eyes have slitted pupils. Their lower bodies are generally larger than their upper bodies because they are bred specifically for producing large offspring. They have long, pointy ears and horns

They have a matriarchal culture. Men are typically the ones caring for children as well as teaching them how to hunt and fight whereas the females are typically out hunting and fighting themselves. Males only hunt for their mate if the female is to pregnant to go out and fight. It is typical for them to be monogamous, but it's not uncommon for both sexes to have multiple partners throughout their lifetime.

They have an affinity for fire, but are weaker during the day

Illyrian
Smaller than the Umbrian, males ranging from 5 to 6 feet and the females 4-5 feet. Their horns and ears are also smaller. Illyrian skin ranges from dark to light brown. They're known as being rather agile and quick.

They have a patriarchal culture.

Annuk
Indigenous to  Annuk'ah. Though classed as one race, the Annuk are actually several different insect species united in a kind of loose polity. They all have segmented bodies and multiple limbs, their front/topmost appendages tend to be their primary ones. Generally, their upper bodies have a rather humanlike appearance, though still bearing many insect characteristics. They share the city of N'phannuk, which also has a large Trodon community. Though once at constant war with the reptilian inhabitants of the island, they have since adopted a custom of offering their criminals and their sick to the Trodon. While on amicable terms with the somewhat civilized Trodon, part of their military's mission is to exterminate the Naga. How much funding and energy goes into that is pretty inconsistent, there being a moral panic every few years when a Naga finds its way into the city and eats someone, but then later complaints about the cruel treatment of the Naga and wasted tax money cause the effort to die down. They are classed as Bees, Ants, Wasps, Silk Worms, and Moths
