Celt

Celts are identical to Britons in almost every way, one would even think that they were releated. But not every way, Britons can't get away with the bright plaid and the spiked hair. Celts being balanced is much more important in Hibernia than other realms, as the other three choices have significant bonuses and penalties

Unlike the Britons, the Celts do not have access to every class of Hibernia - a number are reserved for Elves and Lurikeen only. But in the classes they do have access to, they'll perform quite nicely in any situation, being unweighted towards either melee or magic. This makes them the ideal choice for playing the hybrids whose role may take several different forms in the same group.

Elf

Ah, elves. The long-lived, dextrous, intelligent, and weak elves. As one would imagine, they excel at being mages, due to their increased intelligence. But watch out for that strength and constitution, being tied with the Lurikeen for the weakest races in the game. You definitely don't want to go hand to hand with this race.

Elves have access to all the magic-based classes, and will excel at them more than any other Hibernian. Their natural dexterity and intelligence make them a good choice for the magic-based Nightshade as well, and they can even become Champions and Rangers, though they'll be much more reliant on their magic than either the Celts or the Firbolg. Oddly enough, there are no elvish blademasters.

Lurikeen

Where the Trolls are the strongest and slowest, the Lurikeen take the weakest and the fastest. While they tie with the elves for low strength, their intelligence has no bonus, and instead they're even faster. This puts the Lurikeen in an odd position, very fast, but very weak, with no other bonuses.

Lurikeen aren't much different than elves, though they'll probably do a bit better in melee than their much taller cousins. The natural choice for a Lurikeen is the Nightshade, where they use stealth, melee, and magic in varying combinations. They can also be any type of mage, though they're probably edged out a bit by the elvish intelligence.

Firbolg

Firbolg are giant forest-dwelling humanoids with immense strength and slightly reduced dexterity. As something odd and unique, Firbolg also have an increased Empathy rating, being the only race in the game with this bonus, making them the best healers in Hibernia. Apparantly they've also taken lessons on hair styling from their Celtic neighbors, check out the spiky mohawk.

Because of their increased empathy, Firbolg are a perfect match for Druids, as well as making excellent Wardens and Bards. With their strength and constitution, they also make good warriors, due to their increased strength and constitution.

Sylvan - Shrouded Isles Expansion Race

Sylvans are Dryad-like creatures that resemble the trees they make their home. They have allied with the rest of the Hibernians to rid HyBrasil, their homeland, from the Fomorian threat. Their hair resembles the colors of leaves, from brown to red to yellow.

These characters make excellent druids and wardens as well as valewalkers and animists, but their empathy stat is lower than the firbolg, meaning their heals will be less powerful.
