In the Arcane Realm, there are a number of intelligent and sapient species that have developed cultures that helped them thrive and can potentially interact with other societies like themselves. Groups that meet these broad requirements are generally though of as races. The largest and/or most influential of these are known colloquially as major races while the opposite are known as minor races.

 

There's a lot of information to go through on each of their pages, so this one is dedicated to serve as a useful guide for future Arcane Realm being entries.
