At character creation, player characters may select any of the thirteen playable races:

For the effects of a character's race, see the list of '''[[race modifiers]]'''.

===Cultures===

Once a race has been selected, a character may optionally choose a '''[[culture]]''', which indicates the shared background of various population groups. Some cultures are specific to the selected race, while others may be available to multiple races due to a common history.

If no culture was chosen at character creation, a character may at any time set it in game.
