The Basics, Day 3

◦Are there different human races, whether or not there are non-humans like elves or dwarves? How does the cultural and ethnic diversity of this world compare to the real world?

Non-humans aside, Shokiyu is not that diverse when it comes to human diversity--there are tribes of nomads that live around the desert areas (that look like a Hispanic on Earth), but other than that, most humans appear Caucasian. If they have non-human blood in them, they often look like another Earth race. (For example, a human or elf with avri blood in them will appear Asian--elves believe that "oracle-eyes", as these half-elves are called, have especially strong magic power)

If we account for non-humans, then Shokiyu is pretty diverse--there are five distinct races, each with their own culture.
