Kinds in RoF

Kinds are what are usually called races in most settings.
Stats https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tTX9vMpcf1dPSp2mwBGB8MGSqhpXaylc9A_5b-o1zQc/edit?usp=sharing
Humans (1/2 of population in Central Tys)
Dwarves
Aelthi (Elves)
Drathi (Dark Elves)
Gnolls Hyenaenid people. Spotted are Wakunansi, striped are from Xatlaxa, aardwolves have not been discovered yet
SM+2, ST 12
Average Height Males 7 ft Females 8 ft
Dragons Scaled Velassian versions and furred Xatlaxan versions
Dragonborn Scaled and Furred. Not usually born from dragons
Kobolds Scaled and Furred
SM-1, ST 7
Average Height 4 ft
Fallow Basically the DnD concept of tieflings but can be from any kind and have no intrinsic powers unless they worship their sire. The name has a double meaning. The negative meaning is that they're sown by their sires and ready to be reaped again to serve the purpose of devils. The positive meaning is they are allowed to grow having had their line been sewn/reaped and choose their own way
Aaksi Turtle people
Cuetzpali Lizard people
Celotl Feline/Panther people
Djiinari Basically the DnD concept of genasi with a similar type of genealogy as Fallow but much more divergent than the Fallow mentioned previously. First, the Djiinari have djiin blood in their veins which manifests in their colorful forms and elemental features. Second, Djiinari travel in nomadic caravans of tribes similar to the Romani of Earth. Third, Djiinari do receive abilities without the need for their sires to be involved.
Urkain orcs
Uglotz Goblins
Nan Mixture of smaller animal people from the taxonomic kingdoms of Mustelidae, Rodentia, smaller Canidae like foxes.
Philodota Pangolin people
Bovinae Bovine people from bulls to buffalo to yaks and others. Present like minotaurs with the features of the animal they're based on.
Canidae Wolf people and dog people. Wolf people are often found in Tarkaria and dog people were often once slaves in the Marian Empire that over time became freeman and then full citizens. They still bare the marks of forced genetics programs.
Avesi Bird people. Can't fly.
Cervidae Cervidae people like deer, elk, reindeer.
Capriniae Goat and sheep people.
Alligatoridae
Crocodiliae
Vampires
(Note, those with taxonomic-sounding names were named by the Marian Empire and not themselves unlike the Kind below)
Elakansi Bat people. Can glide. Native to Thrale.
SM+1, Flying [Limitation: Gliding]
Enkidu Native to Kesst, but in a minority of tribes. Similar to the idea of Goliaths from DnD
Corvidae Corvid people.
Pscittocidae Parrot people.
The above two live on the same island.

More: One can have hobbits, gnomes, firbolg, and the like in this setting they're just not going to be represented very well by the lore on the blog. They would also probably be minority of minorities or perhaps from far off continents outside of the 1/7th of the world that the central region of Tys contains.

Do normal animals exist alongside the animal people? Yes. Hyenas and gnolls exist together, philodota and pangolins exist together, avesi and birds exist together, lupinae and wolves exist together along with canidae and dogs. The sapient Kinds often have an origin that separates them from the bestials that also share the world with them.
