Thanks! We reached that conclusion when we didn't see any evidence of sentient nonhumans aside from the monsters through the character creation portion, but it's a good note for anyone who wants to play!

Yeah, I've listened to actual plays and podcasts like yours and definitely taken some notes for revision if we ever decide to go back and update the document. In general, Ald-Amura is a setting where there's a lot of broad strokes and implied weirdness to encourage play groups to make it their own.
