SPECIES IN SS&S
Each species has it's own nation, leader (at least nominally), ranking system, tithe (which the government will periodically enforce on you at random) and "special" abilities not usually open to others - each with their own ingenious built-in downside, at least at first...
More info will be given to individual characters based on how much their character would know about each of the races.
Fairies:
Powerful, beautiful, and really, REALLY nasty.
Leader: Queen Titania
Special Abilities: weaving elflocks - basically, they can turn an unresisting person's hair into a set of magical time bombs...
Tithe: The tiend. -10 from magical ability
Strengths: Fairies have eight senses, including an ability to sense magic and mild telepathy
Weaknesses: Cold iron blinds all eight, as well as burning the fairy’s essence
Ranks: Sprite, Pixie, Leprechaun, Brownie, Hobgoblin, Goblin, Redcap, Bogart, Mogwai, Faun, Djinni, Elf
Dwarves
What they lack in height they make up for in bloody-minded war-mongering.
Leader: Thorin Oakenshield

Manxome Foes
The weirdest gallimaufry of monsters you’ll ever hear poems about.

Leader: The Necromancer
Special Abilities: Curse-Bites - the ability to, well, curse with, well, bites...

Weaknesses: Terrible phobia of religion
Ranks: Skeleton, Zombie, Ghoul, Mummy, Poltergeist, Draugr, Vampire, Mananananga, Revenant, Soucouyant, Banshee, Lich
Humanity
For some reason these guys exist in every known universe – you just can’t escape the blighters.
