There are six playable races in Darkfall. The system for six playable races in Darkfall is different from that in other MMOG’s. Choices and progression options of a player-controlled character will not heavily be influenced by racial choice. No matter which race a player belongs to, a player is able to learn more than 95% of skills. The remainder is Prestige/Racial abilities. To begin play in each race their own homeland, each race owns their unique storylines, histories and racial alliances or enemies. The races include The Alfar of Nagast, The Humans of Mercia, The Mirdain of the Forest Republic, The Dwarves of Dvergheim, The Mahirim of the Tribelands, The Orks of Morak.
