_RACE_

There are nine different races you can play on MUME.

Five of these belong to the good side (a.k.a. "whities"). They are Men, Elves,
Half-elves, Hobbits, and Dwarves. There are also Bears, which are not a
separate race but shapechanged Beorning Men.

Three are the evil races (a.k.a. "darkies"); they are Tarkhnarb Orcs, Trolls,
and Black Numenoreans.

The last race is the Zaugurz Orcs, forming a side of its own.

Different races have different effects on their basic statistics, as you can
see in the table below.

*) Both Tarkhnarb and Zaugurz

Age is how slow members of this race age compared to Men. I.e., an Elf ages 3
times slower, and a Hobbit 1.5 times slower.

Other than these, there are effects on height and weight and a variety of other
areas.
