Gnomes live between 350 to 500 years.

Halfling
Halflings are clever, capable and resourceful survivors. They are notoriously curious, and show a daring that many larger people cannot match. They have ruddy skin, hair that is black and straight, and brown or black eyes. Halflings stand about 3 feet tall and commonly live to 150 years or so.

Tritons are large, amphibious humanoids and rank as the tallest of the player races. They have smooth, silvery-blue skin, and hair that is a shade of blue or green. Their facial features are unusually varied compared to other races, and many possess horns of varying shapes and ssizes. Their fingers and toes are often webbed, and many prefer to keep their hands and feet bare. Most live for around 200 years.
Amphibious: Tritons can breathe underwater without aid, and traverse water hazards without penalties to movespeed.
Low-Light Vision: Allows tritons to see better than normal in the dark.
Orc
Orcs are one of the largest of the playable races, averaging over 6 feet in height. While tritons are typically taller, orcs are generally heavier and more muscular in build. They are known for having powerful, bulky frame and possess an almost natural aptitude for battle.
Their hues of hair and skin vary even more widely than humans, and their features are often intruded upon by tusk-like teeth protruding from the jaw. Orcs live approximately 60 years.
Orcs typically received a single name when born, and would refer to the name of their tribe much like a surname. Examples: Arban, Batuhan, Dzhambul, Erden, Erhi, Muunokhoi, Nekhii, Sarnai, Taban, Timur, Yuul.
Powerful Build: Orcs have an additional capacity of +1 Dash.
