Set in the world of Atreia, the lands are split between the Seraphim Lords (the Elyos) and the forces of the earth (the Asmodians). As a new player you must select between either of these two races. Having only two races is not a bad thing, particularly where in other games multiple races and different racial skills caused considerable balancing issues. So much so that subsequent patching has largely seen these tweaked to such an extent that racials have lost their meaning.
