Like in the real world, humans are the only civilized species. Other living creatures are either animals or monsters.

Elves, dwarves, halfings, orcs, and goblins.

All sorts of intelligent creatures inhabit the world. Not only elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, and goblins. But also dragonfolk, half-giants, fae, kajit (catfolk), and many other different fantasy species.
