Humans Humans are the most common race in the world of Arcanum. They make up the majority of the population in the cities. Humans seem to be able to do well at both technology and magick. The Gnomes seem to have a knack for finance. They run a lot of the businesses, and they seem to have their dirty little fingers into most of the railroads.
Gnomes are particularly fond and protective of their families.
Women and children rarely travel outside of their protective communities, and if they do, a group of Half-Ogre bodyguards is sure to follow. The Dwarves are somewhat similar to Gnomes. Although they don't have the business sense Gnomes have, their love and aptitude for all things technological surpasses that of the Gnomes, like their lifespan, which is about 600 years. Dwarves are even more protective of their women than the Gnomes are. The Halflings usually prefer to keep to themselves, staying away from politics.
