So far, for this world I'm making, I have:

-Humans. Control a large feudal nation divided into Dukedoms. Each Duke swears fealty to an Emperor. When the Emperor dies, the Nobility gathers and votes to elect a new one. Each Duke is allowed to put themself forward as the candidate. There's also a smaller human nation comprised of loosely allied city-states, that constantly gets attacked by the Orcs and the Empire.
-Dwarves. They have four main underground cities connected via tunnels. Much of their food comes from massive underground mushroom and moss farms, and keep giant rats and moles as livestock. For the rest, they trade with the surface.
-Tribal Orcs, who employ Viking-style battle tactics. They are on their own separate island, and frequently raid coastal settlements on the mainland. They keep goblins as slaves and trolls as pets.
-Drows, who control a large sea-based empire loosely based off Japan.
-Centaurs, who used to be tribal until they were united under one ruler. Very similar to the Mongolians.
-Elves who reside in a massive forest. They are divided into several nomadic clans, but have one permanent settlement that serves as a meeting point in times of crisis.
-Gnomes. Not sure what I want their culture to be like just yet.

More will come in the future. There's currently a massive empty space in the middle of the map that I don't know what to do with.

Edit: I may also include:
-Pixies
-Ogres
-Draconians (humanoid dragon-creatures)
-Avians

Anyone have any other races they'd like to suggest? Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

~ Super Wurmies
~ Narnian polar bears (with REALLY deep voices).
~ Ineffectual floating jellyfish people.
~ An adorable race of cute pacifistic carnivores who, despite their overly polite and general doormat demeanor, possess hairline tempers that make them, when triggered, a species you REALLY don't want to tick off if you intend to keep your limbs intact.

Yo Fish, why not use your giant central empty space as something mysterious or deadly? I.E: Deadlands, Scorched Land, Corrupted Kingdom, something that is hostile to adventurers and armies that enter.

Or have it be a truly mysterious place that nobody has come back from, but nobody knows why. Maybe have some legend tied to it, or consistent attacks from some kind of creatures that mean the surrounding kingdoms have to constantly keep the borders well manned. I am Inferi.

Y'all are getting me all nostalgic about this place. Literally nothing you have said in particular has sparked this, just the act of seeing familiar names and the RPs that get called to mind when I think of them. I almost want to commit to joining an RP and like being a part of this again but I also know that I'll likely vanish again due to my ever increasing list of responsibilities (who knew the transition to adulthood was so time-consuming? ). :(

Also welp, there it goes, my forum pic is gone along with another part of my childhood. I've been a member on and off around these parts for the better part of a decade.
I just play FFXIV at this point. DC: Crystal

You're acting like disappearing from threads is unusual. We all know it's not. Don't worry, you still fit in just fine.

And as a nice meme I've seen put it, becoming an adult is like looking both ways before crossing the street and then getting hit by a plane. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
