These races are native to Vana'diel (the world of Final Fantasy XI), but have been designed to be integrated into a standard fantasy world. In particular, the language section for each race is populated with the standard Pathfinder RPG languages. You may instead wish to add a racial language for each race.

If you are playing on Vana'diel, a selection of other racial languages and beastman languages are available as bonus languages. This is listed as a separate "Vana'diel Languages" section under each race.
