I actually replayed this game not too long ago with a friend. Nice to see it getting some love.

Oh neat, you even included the canon descriptions. Some people might be confused and think you forgot to put the female selkie and lilty appearance in the text though. I get that you did both wolfies and both bare heads, but yeah.

I'll paste my own lore in here just because, I'd like it if you would feature the comment so people can see it easily Oh, and you called me "they". I am a "she". Minor issue though.

The four races

Clavats: Mostly peaceful, they often have plain colored hair and eyes and wear plain clothing. Many clavats are farmers, but there are also many clavats who seek myrrh in crystal caravans. They are generally jacks of all trades, but some are more skilled at certain things than others. They normally wield swords and shields in battle. Some clavats from farming backgrounds have been known to fight with scythes or pitchforks.

Selkies: Rogueish people, they appear similar to clavats, but can have brighter hair and eye colors. Their ears are often smaller than clavat ears as well, and slightly pointed. They often wear light, sometimes revealing clothing made out of fur and leather. They are better swimmers than the other three tribes. Weapons are normally concealable daggers, claw gloves, or throwing blades, and armor is rarely used and simple if it is.

Lilties: Short warrior people, they often have hair in bright, warm colors. They tend to be hotheaded and many are either crystal caravanners or traveling monster hunters or both. They are very strong despite their small stature. They clang around in metal armor and brandish spears and axes.

Yukes: Tall, birdlike magicians. Their faces are beaked and their arms and hands appear feathered. They tend to be very wise and aloof, not really associating with outsiders. Their magic prowess is the best of the four races. Yukes focus more on using magitite to cast spells, but do carry small blades or hammers as well.

Other creatures
Moogles: Small flying mammals that are immune to the toxic miasma, so they can live anywhere. They are friendly and many prefer to live in towns with people for companionship, but many do still live in the wilderness. They are intelligent and most can learn to use magic, and if they do, they don't need magitite.

Monsters: Creatures that are immune to miasma, but hostile. Some appear to have some intelligence because they form groups and/or use weapons, but even these are dangerous and will typically attack a person on sight. Many monsters can use magic without magitite.

Popopami: Large grazing mammals that are used to pull wagons. Miasma affects them like it does other livestock.

Items and objects

Crystals: The sacred, magical stones that protect people from miasma. They must be purified with myrrh, or else they will eventually stop working.

Crystal Chalice: An urn fitted with a crystal. Caravanners use these to store the myrrh they collect, and the crystal wards off miasma in the field. Some caravans employ moogles as chalice carriers. The little creatures are perfect for the job due to their flight ability and miasma immunity. 

Magitite: Stones found in the wilderness that allow the use of magic. The magic in these stones wears out after a short separation from their area of origin, so caravanners must keep finding them. Luckily, they are common and frequently replenish themselves.

Magic Clip: Invented by yukes, these little metal clasps clip onto weapons and allow spell casting through the weapon via a bond with the magitite in the pack. Rumor has it that some yukes are so magicially inclined that they can do the same without the clips. Not everyone owns one, however. Without a magic clip, one must be holding the proper magitite in their hands.

Environment

Miasma: The sinister air that covers the land. Wild animals, plants, and fungi are immune to it, and so are moogles and monsters. Domesticated animals such as livestock and pets suffer in it though, along with the four races. While it won't be an instant death if inhaled and getting used to it is possible, it is still toxic and will eventually kill a person with constant exposure.

Myrrh Tree: The sacred trees that grow in the far reaches and monster infested wildernesses. They are few and far between, there will never be more than one in any given area. The dew from the leaves of a myrrh tree purifies crystals.

Hotspot: An area in the wilderness that can change a crystal's element. The four known crystal elements are fire, water, wind, and earth.

Miasma Stream: A sinister gorge that divides the land up into sections. They change elements frequently and repel anyone who tries to cross with a crystal of the wrong element.
