3+Scope note: the six races below are the playable roster of the original ArcheAge. The same two-alliance framing carries into ArcheAge Chronicles, and character creation material has shown race-specific options, but XLGAMES has not published the final Chronicles playable-race count, and the community is still asking how many races the game will ship with. Treat the per-race abilities listed here as original-game details that may be reworked, replaced, or omitted in the Chronicles build.
