Mortal races

The Mortal races is a term applied to all species which are self-conscious and therefore has a soul. It encompasses all of the Free Peoples; the dwarves, elves, gnomes, humans and orcs, the trollkin races; the goblins, gremlins, ogres, trolls, cyclops and giants, and also the cephalids, the centaurs, the minotaurs and the worgs.

Animals are not considered part of the mortal races as they do not end up in the Realm of Unlife after they die. Also, creatures not from the Mortal Plane are not counted among the mortal races, mainly the denizens of the Abyss.
