All Lusternians may initially choose one of the following races:

Human, Dwarf, Elfen, Dracnari, Faeling, Furrikin, Krokani, Aslaran, Loboshigaru, Mugwump, Merian, Orclach, Igasho, Tae'dae, Taurian, Trill, Viscanti, Lucidian, Kephera or Illithoid.

There are additional races one may become over time, including the Changeling who may take the appearance of any of the above races.

You may gain information on the specific races with HELP <race>.

Each race has some optional advantages/disadvantages. HELP <race> will show you these.

REINCARNATION
-------------
If you find yourself unhappy with your race, you have available to you, once in your lifetime, a free reincarnation. You must journey to the Portal of Fate, and REINCARNATE INTO <race>. Doing so allows you to choose a new race. If you are above level 30, or you are using the Dagger of Reincarnation, you must be dead to reincarnate.

In addition, until you are level 30 you may reincarnate as many times as you wish.
