They are quick and extremely devious, and are considered by most to be the best assassins. Rat-men are very intelligent and a worthy opponent in battle. The main reasons may be that the Rat-men have always kept their contact with other races to minimum, and that they have always lived in the subterranean caverns, even when others were prospering on the surface. Ratmen The exact origin of this species is unknown and in general, not much is known about this strange race. The sisters of Edurneum are close to the humans, and were of great help during the migration underground – they even created plants that grow without sunlight and can be used for food. According to many tales, the Sisters were instrumental in the discovery of magic, which would explain why they are thought by many to be the most skilled in the use of spells and runes. Their skin is covered in scales, and there does not appear to be any male of their species – how they reproduce will likely remain a mystery and subject of much discussion. They appear to be a cross between women and huge snakes. The Sisters of Edurneum The origins of the Sisters of Edurneum are another great mystery.

Only during the time of the golden pact were the Goblins in any way loyal to humans, and for a short time, they supressed their aggressive nature and helped create the underground kingdom. They are not the friendliest species, and often spend most of their time looking to pick a fight. Goblins speak a simple language that is quite simliar to the human tongue. Despite their huge numbers, however, they never managed to establish a kingdom on the surface. Goblins In days of old, the goblins had the largest population of all races – more due to their extreme fertility than planning. Some may attack on sight, while others are social and may even offer their help. There are many unique types of races in Arx Fatalis each with it's own look, skills and personalities.
