The Seven races
Human - the most versatile and considered by the spirits to be the "perfect vessels." Can retain any of the four elements with ease.
Dwarf- the result of too much Fire and Earth influence, this stocky race are hardy and honest.
Elf- the result of too much Water and Wind influence, they are tall, slim and whimsical.
Orc- A race created by Undine to make home in and cleanse the waters. Tusked and muscular, they evolved to handle themselves remarkably on land as well and to this day are seafarers.
Fawnae- A race created by Ifrit to regulate the world's core. Originally, they did not look like the deer and rodent hybrid as they do today, but instead consisted of several kinds of chimeric fusions.
Warden- A race created by Gnome to purify the land. They were more construct than living being, but since evolved to gain personality and intelligence. They were blessed by Gnome and given the ability to prosper in their own society. They take the appearance of armor suits.
Blank- A race created by Sylph to occupy the world. Slyph is the least experienced spirit when it comes to creating life, and as such, the Blanks miss facial features a human would have save for a mouth. Wise and prophetic, they live peacefully with other races.
Sub races
Monsters that exhibit signs of humanoid intelligence such as speech, most often in broken common, and build livable structures as homes and create a society amongst themselves. They usually are aggressive in nature, but in rare cases, can convert to a humanoid society with a lot of work and care. Examples of monsters in this category include, but are not limited to: goblins, kobolds, lizardmen, treants, fairies, centaurs.

I love how all the months are based around the latin roots from 1 to 8. For a second, I thought you just made up those names from scratch
