There are eight playable '''races''' in [[Arena:Arena|Arena]], each with different characteristics. It is important to choose one that will complement your character's [[Arena:Classes|class]], though it is not a necessity. Before the game starts, you are shown a [[Arena:Map|map of Tamriel]], which allows you to choose which race you want to be by clicking on the appropriate province (there is no race associated with the [[Lore:Imperial Province|Imperial Province]]). When you exit the Imperial Dungeons, you will emerge in the homeland of whichever race you choose to be.
==Provinces and Their Native Races==
The table below shows from what province each race originates.

Upon selection of the Argonian race, the player is informed with the following concerning Argonians:
