Sanctuary allows player characters of nearly every race from almost all medieval fantasy fictional settings, including by not limited to: Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time and of course our own shards.

Restrictions

1. All races must be grouped into one of five greater race categories; Human, Aelfeyn, Muiri, Hoggur or Summon/Constructs, see below.
2. All characters must abide by the limitations of the race. (Ex: You can not be a Muiri and avoid being susceptible to iron.)
3. Part of your character's past and present story must include the understanding that their previous existence in prior worlds begins to fade within a reasonably short period of time.
4. Individual sub-races who have non-human avatars are restricted to available 2D UO graphics. Read More ...
5. Graphics and races may be further restricted by staff is needed for clarity sake in role-play.

Races

Humans

This will include any character who was born human, regardless of if it is still human or not.

• Humans
• Vampires
• Lycanthropes - "bitten not born"
• Witches - who are a slight genetic deviation from humans

Aelfeyn

The Aelfeyn consider themselves the first race, though they are not the only who claim such. Those Aelfeyn born today on Cuiveinen are all half-elves in some manner or other, as almost all true pure-bloods have disappeared or died off in the last two thousand years. With the Thorn King Era coming to a close, once cloistered Aelfeyn are reemerging into society. Read More ...

This category is for all nearly purely magical creatures such as fairies, dragons, unicorns, fen tads, pooka, etc. Creatures of water and air moved by the moon.
