They're not from other planets. :P

Absolutely. We're not restricting everyone to just humans. Though, if you choose to be other races. Depending on what region you selected, you may choose to be another race recommended for the certain region you selected. Say, if you choose a desert region, you may want to choose Ingmarians as your race, as they're more suitable for the desert setting of the region. Other races are fine, but you may want to choose the best race most suitable.

They're not from other planets, eh? Does this work on some sort of Multiverse idea, then?

How will the races interact with each other? Will Dwarven leaders only have dwarven followers, or will settlements combine a number of races? Will all humans be on the same side, or will there be feuding groups within races?

Planets suck! Other universes suck! One universe, five races!

On a side-note, if I can't have multicultural hegemonies, I'm not playing. >

Where is the contradiction? I said other Universes suck, but they have their uses. Besides, it's not the JUMPTHEPORTAL scenario presented somewhere here - my multiverse is a slow, historical process, where the dimension serve as... Geographical barriers, that lead to ecological and finally evolutionary barriers between the races, subspecies and whatnot.

Just my little joke, Nait. I understand where you're coming from, and I agree that having a simple backstory is much better than mucking around with separate planets/realities.

So how about this: Rather than have the races be separated by dimensions, simply have a pangaea-like world, in which a single species, separated by shifting continents, is split into five groups. Each faced with a new environment, and adapts accordingly, becoming the five races of our world.
