 Etherlords - Races
   
 Date  : Dec 11th, 2001
 Genre  : Strategy
 Developer   : Nival Interactive
 Author  : Jin-Ning Tioh
As foretold in the prophecies of old, the Time of Change has finally arrived, trailing in its wake death and decay. Four races stand at the heart of the conflict, battling each other to reach the Temple of Time to become the next White Lord. Forming into two alliances, the Vitals now fight side by side with the wise Kinets against the unholy alliance of the fiery Chaots and mechanical Synthets.

Synthets, Ether of Synthesis - Impossible to mistake for any other creature, Synthets are born from the Ether of Synthesis. Ill suited for living creatures to exist and develop in, the Synthets have managed to adapt themselves to their harsh conditions in a most peculiar manner. Reducing their bone and flesh to the bare minimum, they have replaced the rest of their bodies with machinery. Interacting with non-living matter flawlessly, Synthets have hordes of mechanical monstrosities attending to their every whim and command. This, combined with their ability to keep a perfectly rational mind during the heat of battle, make the Synthets a formidable force to be contended with in battle.
 

 
Chaots, Ether of Chaos - Born from the Ether of Chaos, you can recognize the unruly sons and daughters of Chaos by the scarlet sheen in their faces - the reflection of the irrepressible fires of war and blood shed in the thousands of battles they have fought. Strong and sturdy in build, Chaots possess incredible strength and stamina, making deadly foes on the battlefield. Worst yet are their warriors and heroes. Rushing into the heat of battle without giving a thought to their own safety, Chaots have been known to charge against even superior forces, emerging victorious and leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in their wake. While this is partly due to the fact that they do not enjoy thinking, it is mainly due to their superior numbers. Casualties also do not derail them easily from their ambitions of glory, as they have never learned to value life, due to their incredible fertility. In fact, very few things can frighten a Chaot - After all, obstacles exist simply to provide the fearless sons of Chaos an opportunity to sweep them out of their way.
 

 
Vitals, Ether of Vitality - Conceived from the fickle flow of the Ether of Vitality, Vitals are at times known to be incredibly bizarre looking. Just by watching them, one understands just how multifarious life is. Able to interact with living creatures and command them in battle effortlessly, Vitals are accepted as true masters of nature. This, harnessed with their ability to thoroughly analyze any situation and plan many steps ahead into the future, make them indeed worthy opponents to the unholy alliance of the Chaots and the Synthets.
 

 
Kinets, Ether of Motion - Not unlike the Ether of Motion that gave birth to them, Kinets always aspire upwards. Their build is aesthetic and delicate, their bodies slender and their faces impassive. When you look at a Kinet, their features give them the look of great wisdom and knowledge. Unfortunately, that is hardly the case. However, they do value knowledge. Their first commandment - Knowledge is power - shows their extreme desire for knowledge. Joining the Vitals in their sacred quest to prevent further destruction and chaos, the Kinets have proven powerful allies with their strategic planning and tactics against the forces of darkness.
