There are four races in Echoes of Angmar: Race of Man, Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits. Your race determines which of the seven classes you can play.

One hero battles against evil Dwarves, vicious Wargs, and cold wraiths, questing for long-lost lore and striving to make a difference in these ominous times. He shall forge courage in his heart and inspire his fellows to the deeds of legend. That hero is you.

Stats

Character stats are the basic measurements that determine how effective your character is at combat, defense, and virtual-life in general. Things like armour, weapons, and level make your stats better, while ill effects like poison, disease, or defeat may lower them, making you less effective or more vulnerable.
