As we’ve said before, Ashes of Creation has a total of nine playable races. However, each of these belongs to a different species. With that in mind, here’s every playable race that you can choose in the game –
1. Kaelar (Aela Humans)
First up, we have the Kaelar. This is a race that’s welcoming towards others, but can take up arms if necessary. They’re proud of their ancestors’ achievements and boast about their history. What’s also notable is that they have the biggest standing army in the world. However, keep in mind that diplomacy or negotiation isn’t exactly what they shine at.
2. Vaelune (Aela Human)
Another human race that you can play is the Vaelune. These are the merchants of the world, and they rely on their curiosity, bravery, and natural charisma to survive. Trade is the base of their culture, and they follow all kinds of customs that bring about honest deals. You’ll be able to sport the Vaelune pretty easily thanks to their glowing eyes and skin, which are the hallmarks of this species.
3. Ren’kai (Kaivek Orcs)
The Ren’Kai have a troubled history with both internal and external conflicts. However, these warriors now stand united as one. They’re extremely loyal, and standing in arms with their brothers. This race is right up with the Kaelar in terms of military power. Beyond the fact that they can wreak chaos on the battlefield, they also have some of the finest scholars and craftspeople in the entirety of the world.
4. Vek (Kaivek Orcs)
The Vek are the mages of Ashes of Creation, and they’re all about the art of alchemy and enchantment. They have a deep connection with the Ren’Kai as they have a history of suffering together. This race places its faith in prophecy and divine abilities, using these powers to shape its path and overcome challenges.
5. Dünir (Dunzekell Dwarves)
Dünir are one of the Dwarven races in Ashes of Creation. They are widely known in the world for their loyalty, craftsmanship, and extreme resilience. On top of that, the Dünir are a powerhouse in defense and are extremely stubborn. They will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
6. Niküa (Dunzekell Dwarves)
The second Dwarven race, the Niküa, is all about exploitation and optimism. These sailors, travelers, and adventurers are just like the Dunir but minus the discipline part. They operate on the basis of decisions made by an elected council and are highly adaptable to all kinds of situations around them.
7. Tulnar (Tulnar)
This is the only race that stands as its own species and has returned to the surface after the opening of Divine Gates. These beasts have survived against all odds and now focus on fighting the corrupt. They place great importance on community, diversity, and their traditions.
8. Empyrean ( Elves)
The Empyrean are the elves who take pride in their advanced civilization, strong military, and government. They’re extremely fit, beautiful, veteran soldiers, diplomats who have vast knowledge. If that wasn’t enough, Empyreans also have the longest lifespan of any race that we’ve mentioned above in the Verra.
9. Py’rai (Pyrian Elves)
And finally, we have the Py’rai, elves who are completely opposite to the Empyreans. They embrace life in the wild, living in harmony with nature, and valuing it above everything else. They share resources freely among themselves, and their independence is something non-negotiable.
