Innworld is inhabited by many sapient species. <blockquote>''For non-sapient species, see the [[Monsters]] page''</blockquote>

== Overview ==
Innworld has a diverse landscape of many sapient species all with unique backgrounds, rich cultures, and traditions. Throughout history, many have grown increasingly common or gone extinct. Some species, like humans, flourish on all continents while others have been driven to small hidden locations and live in small numbers.

== Trivia ==
*There are beings, like [[Djinn]], that are highly magical and part spirit.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/05/3-35/ Chapter 3.35]</ref> Most of these types of creatures are currently enslaved, particularly in [[Chandrar]].
*In [[Izril]], the most common interspecies marriage is between Gnolls and Drakes. This is due to their close proximity in the south and is despite the fact that there are many Humans in the north.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/12/8-27/ Chapter 8.27]</ref>
*Some races are not able to level until a special criterion is met. Vampires, for instance, need to be purified and drink the blood of other leveling creatures to gain levels themselves.
*[[Selphids]] refer to any species other than them as the '''Manykind'''.<ref name=":1" />
