.. Humans are the most common race on the planet of Toril, and in general all races stay with their own kind. Unlike Faerun, the Continent of the Great Realms has a wider diversity of races which live together, and it is said this is due to the fact that the races and the continent itself was created well after the rest of Toril was established. The Elder Creator Gods who created the Great Realms crafted the races after the ones they had known in mortal life, and even went on to create some unique races to the continent such as espers or felis.

.. Podrikevs were not created by the Gods, but are in fact the creation of science and magic. They are living machines which were created for mining purposes by the combined efforts of the Dwarves and Gnomes. They have a metal crafted body which is controlled by the brain and spinal cord of a once living creature. Originally inferior races were used, but over time many found this technology a way to extend their lives, and thus had their own brains and spines removed and placed into the machines, creating a new race of machine creatures.

.. Berserkers are a race of humans who gained the ability of going into a troll berserker rage, which differs from the berserker skill. The berserker skill bases its abilities after troll berserkers in which a person enters an insane rage during combat and is given a surge of strength and energy, and a disregard for personal safety. This type of skill can be gained by many different races, but only touches on true troll berserking. A Berserking Troll can increase its strength and durability over ten times its normal, and during the rage they will not feel any pain at all. Trolls have been known to fight without hesitation even after limbs have been removed. It is said a tribe of humans ventured into gaining this skill by bathing in troll blood, drinking it, even cutting themselves and soaking in their blood. Somehow, their efforts paid off and they gained this ability. It is said through the years of this practise of soaking in the blood, namely when mixing it with their own blood that it became a genetic trait, and soon it became unnessessary for them to soak in the troll blood. There is one flaw to this race, unlike trolls who can control their rage, there are human berserkers who will go out of control.
