Species
-------
The choice of species is almost entirely cosmetic, and has no effect on gameplay. The notable exception to this rule is the Elf race (called Edhel in their own languages) - the Moredhel and Eledhel are considered quite distinct from one another. See HELP EDHEL for more information about the warring tribes of the Edhel.
