Vanguard has 19 different races spread across the three main continents: Thestra, qalia, and Kojan. Although they have released no specific information regarding the traits of these classes, the game world follows most High Fantasy conventions, so the races may be compared to traditional Lord of the Rings races, Everquest 1, or other familiar fantasy settings. Each race will of course be modified to suit the particular game dynamics and narrative of Vanguard.

Thestra is home to Dwarf, Half Giant, Hafling, High-Elf, Testran Barbarian, Thestran Human, and Vulmane (wolf people).

Qalia is home to Ahgramun Human, Dark Elf, Gnome, Mordebi Human, Kurashasa (cat people), and Qalian Barbarin.

Kojan is home to Gobin, Half Elf, Kojan Human, Orc Raki (fox People), and Wood Elf.

Each race will have unique abilities, but they’re still working on game balance, so no details have been released.

Each race will start in a different location on the continent of their home, but the developers of Vanguard are determined to allow even low level players to move between starting towns early in the game. This will allow people to go through the first few levels with their friends without having to worry about dying on the way.
