  Nazism - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Hitler's Nazi theory also claimed that the Aryan race is a master race, superior to all other races, that a nation is the highest creation of a race, and great nations (literally large nations) were the creation of great races.
Nazi theory said that because the nation was the expression of the race, the greatness of a race could be evaluated according to a race's ability and desire to acquire a large homeland.
Primo Levi suggested another difference between socialism and Nazism: while both had their idea of what kind of parasitic classes or races society ought to be rid of, he saw the former to determine them by a social position (which people may change within their life), while the latter assign a place given by birth.

Slave races were thought to be less worthy of existence than master races.
Races without homelands were therefore said to be "parasitic races." The richer the members of a "parasitic race" are, the more virulent the parasitism was thought to be.
However, it is a misconception that Nazism was all about race - this is probably because of the bad reputation Nazism has gained after the war, and especially because of the holocaust.

 [No title]
The Arkati began their existence as the slaves of the Drakes, for although they were as old a race as dragonkind, the humanoid Arkati were lesser in both powers and numbers.
The Arkati earned this worship, for it was only by their intervention that the lesser races such as elves, humans, dwarves and halflings lived at all.
Many feared that the dragons were using Elanthia’s overcrowding as an excuse to remove the lesser races, and that the relocation of the Arkati was to facilitate this genocide.

 Viaquia- the Sunset Elwens, the Children of Dermand.
Their beauty often fascinates the other races and makes them believe that there is a chance to redeem the viaquia.
Still, some races, such as elves, do leave bodies behind that can be animated by the power of the Sunset Lord and filled with the desire for blood, particularly if these people worshipped the Sunset Lord in life.
But some of the sunset Elwens, concerned about the effect that the Dusk Father was having on their race, went to Sarastaa, Lord of the Dawn, and begged to be changed from the form in which Dermand, as they believed, (rather than the stars, as was the truth), had put them.

The gods of the dragons were to the gods of the races of Vasorn as the dragons were to the races themselves.
The lesser dragons are considered no less dangerous or weak than their more intelligent kin, for to even lay a hand on one in anger or to use crop or spur when it is not warranted brings death as quickly as if it had been done to a ruling dragon.
For some reason, they are among a small handful of the "lesser races" who have been allowed some modicum of prestige, and they are more than willing to take advantage of the opportunities this has afforded them.

 Eagonia
The Elder Races of Eagonia are the children of the gods, each race nurtured into life with care and tenderness by one of the Younger Gods in the Time of Creation.
The races have a natural lifespan of approximately a millenium and most are reclusive and thoughtful, however it would be a mistake to believe that they are unaware of world events.
The least reclusive of the Elder Races, the Giants were the only Elder Race to ally with the Humans, Dwarves and Orcs and that proved to be one of the turning points in the Dragon Wars.

Such a character begins play with all of the normal characteristics for his race and all of the normal class features for a 1st-level character of his class.

A "lesser drow," for example, doesn't have all the traits and abilities of the drow described elsewhere in this chapter, but she can be played as a 1st-level character right alongside characters of other, more standard races.

On the question of race or nationality it could be argued that these figures were needed to allow analyses of the various areas in an attempt to predict internal unrest.
For evidence that the British believed that race was the supreme determinate of human activity one need look no further than Disraeli who wrote in 1844 that: "All is race, there is no other truth" and in 1880 that: "Race is the key to history".
In active pursuits they are timid and indolent, but in intellect keen and subtle."Given the prevailing attitude of the linkages between caste and race and race and ability, this statement seems to be at odds with the internal logic of the argument.
