Races of ALfheim Online

ALfheim Online features nine different races, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. When creating their characters, players are given the option to choose from these nine races.

The goal of each race is to be the first to reach the top of the World Tree and to meet the Fairy King Oberon so as to be reborn as the higher species, the Alfs, giving them unlimited flight time. But after it was revealed at the end of the Fairy Dance arc that Alfs did not actually exist, this goal was abandoned and replaced with the new goal of clearing the newly incorporated New Aincrad after Ymir introduced the «Floating Castle Aincrad» update to ALO.
