The world that David Eddings created when he wrote The Belgariad has a large number of races, although all are technically human. The various nationalities all have their own set of Stats, Advantages and Disadvantages that stem from their living locations, their God, and the laws of the nation (which usually depend on the God of that people). Each of the links below gives information about a nation and its people. Note that there are always exceptions to the rule so far as these go, but the majority of each race that you meet will follow these rules, as will all Player Characters.
