TEXT: Iron Kingdoms Races
  The primary intelligent races in the Iron Kingdoms are humans, dwarves, goblins, elves, ogrun and 
  trollkin. Humans are by far the most numerous, with many different subraces. Goblins include gobbers, 
  which have mostly assimilated into human culture, and the more warlike bogrins. The best known elves 
  are Iosans; their cousins the Nyss, the “winter elves,” live far in the north.
