The Lupinarith are a race of lupine naga like people with a four arms and bodies covered in fur. Their heads are completely wolf like and their upper torsos are humanoid. Their main form of propulsion is the long slender snake like tail that moves them at a comparable pace to that of a snake itself. They are not very strong in jumping but the extra arms do add to their ability to climb and gives them the option for multiple weapons and grappling capabilities past that of a normal human. They are highly intelligent and technically sound and extremely dexterous with their hands.
This race is a branch evolution to the lupine genome that also gave rise to the famed Madadh Allaidh. Though not as strong as their cousin race, the Lupinarith hold skills in other areas such as archery, hunting, technology, and the artisan's path. Their villages sit high in the trees of the Orvoz Forrest. Though they do not get out much on their own, they do promote free trade and tourism, but that does not mean that one cannot find a Lupinarith and his family among the capitals and large cities.

The Enoch are a race of inhumanly large people, but to look at them it would seem as though there is not an ounce of fat on them. They are on average 8-10 ft tall with arms as thick as an average human's body. They are the definition of meat shield with the strength to lift large boulders with little effort.
Though they are power full their intellect is slightly limited. Not all to bright when it comes to the complexities of theory and scientific law nor skilled in the hands of magic, the Enoch make strong warriors none the less. Little can stand in the way of one's onslaught.
As the old saying goes, "When in doubt let your inner Enoch out." So true is it for even the Enoch. Once enraged their strength seems to triple and they are even harder to deal with, but on the positive sides of things they are patient beyond their years making them slow to anger.

The Madadh Allaidh, cousin race to the Lupinarith, are bipedal lupine humanoids. Their head is most similar to that of a wolf's with a snout and ears closer to the top of the head and so on. This race how ever only has one set of arms rather than the two that the Lupinarith have. Many theorizes that the ancient evolutions of the two branched off when Lupinarith's rear legs evolved to arms and the Madadh Allaidh began standing upright.
As civilization began erupting the Madadh Allaidh began building a society reminisce of the Japanese Samarai, and to this day they still hold on strongly to those beliefs. Stronger than the average human, the Madadh Allaidh wield unusual weapons with their superior keen balance due to their tails. Wielding such objects that would make a normal human fall or drop, the Madadh Allaidh are renowned for their excellence in weapon training.

Gatorian, long story short they are nekos. This catlike humanoid ranges the world with superior archery skills. They are a nomadic tribal peoples and abstain from the convenience of lost tech. Secluding themselves to their simple life, not many people understand them. They range about the same as human's when it comes to body size and type, but still have tails, ears, and fur all over.
