The eight Namegiving races of Barsaive form the heart and soul of the land. They share many experiences and beliefs, but have their own cultures and traditions. Each race is unique and together they breathe life into the land of Barsaive. Denizens of Barsaive Volume Two provides an indepth look at four of the Namegiving races of Barsaive:

Dwarfs: Stout and stubborn, the industrious dwarfs are the cultural and political leaders of Barsaive.

Obsidimen: Ancient beings of living rock, these stone giants are perhaps the oldest and most mysterious denizens of Barsaive.

Orks: Passionate and savage, their love for life is surpassed only by their love for battle!

Trolls: Bestial in appearance, these gargantuan mountain dwellers are both fierce and honorable.
