I. Guide Information:
This guide is composed of information (derived from various sources from across the public world-wide web) about the MMORPG Shaiya. It will be updated within the forums of ShaiyaHQ. Upon being updated, notice will be given of newly added sections. Order of sectioning is subject to change (at which point the table of contents will be adjusted to refelect said changes.) Any attempt to copy, manipulate, or add to this text is freely allowed and encouraged.

II. Races:
Human–
Humans include the classes of Fighter, Defender, and Priest. Newest to the lands of Tios are the Humans. Spiritual, strong, and swift, the Humans are adept at nearly every job that Tios has to offer. However, their power truly lies in their strength of body and spiritual nature. Born Fighters and Priests, the Humans are natural complement to the magical Elves. Brought to Tios by the Goddesses, the hope was that the Humans would help restore balance and unity. Unfortunately, the Humans got swept up into the chaos, and the Elves were the first to assist them.

Elf–
The elves race includes the classes of Archer, Ranger, and Mage. Methodical, deliberate, and smart are just some of the words used to describe the Elves. The Elves, like the Vail, are descendents from the Dumianas. The Laws of Nature are very important to the Elves, and their society relies on order and discipline. The Elves are in constant conflict in their attempts to keep the monsters of Tios outside of their borders. The magical Elves are the chosen of the Goddess of Light.

Nordein (Deatheaters)–
Deatheater race includes the classes warrior, guardian, and hunter. Towards the end of the great war, the Goddesses created the Nordein to help protect Tios. The Nordein, or “Deatheaters,” have every appearance of being brutish and unintelligent, violent and aggressive. But this race of Ancients is a book that should not be judged by its cover. In the wars that followed their appearance on Tios, the Nordien acquired a disdain for magic and choose not to use it often, if at all. This is likely one reason that they sided with the spiritual Vail, and not the magical Elves.
