	* '''Foxtail''': Kitsune, who gain more tails as they gain in level and a bonus to magical abilities. They have an racial ability to "swap out" a Class or Race skill every few levels, and replace it with a random choice from another Class. Because of this bit of randomness, the race is generally unpopular with players.		* '''Foxtail''': Kitsune, who gain more tails as they gain in level and a bonus to magical abilities. They have an racial ability to "swap out" a Class or Race skill every few levels, and replace it with a random choice from another Class. Because of this bit of randomness, the race is generally unpopular with players. However its implications are significant; Nureha learned to overskill it to create illusionary appearances and identities.

In-universe they're also known for their short lifespans and low birtrates.		* '''Ritian''': A human with racial magical tattoos that have various abilities.

	A few other things about Landers are that they can also gain levels in the Adventurer classes, but at a much more lower rate. Having 30 class levels is already a near-heroic feat for them, so obviously the things that endgame-level (90 and above) Adventurers like Shiroe can do are miraculous. Then there's the fact that, unlike Adventurers, when Landers die, it's permanent; no manner of resurrection will bring them back, as their spirits return to the land, so to speak.

			It is eventually revealed that nothing magical has happened. Rather that the whole incident is the result of externals of a data nature who happened upon the Theldesia server and decided to clone it for their own purposes. So the whole world and everything in it (including the player characters) are copies.

	Hilariously this works both ways -- from the Lander's point of view, it's the ''Adventurers'' that had changed. Before ~~they~~ were mechanical and acted ~~rather~~ incomprehensibly (picture your typical MMO tavern or town plaza, with AFK PCs dancing, walking around naked, etc. and you get the idea). Confusing though their behavior was, they would reliably do whatever work the landers offered them, until one day they suddenly stopped and now they're acting like individuals.

	There are twelve available Classes to choose from upon Character Creation in ''Elder Tale'', plus a whole gamut of subclasses- there are currently 127, with more being developed all the time. These, along with the race a player chooses, determines what Skills can be learned.

	The twelve classes are further split into four groups, based on the expected roles that they would serve in a typical party. The Tank-DPS-Healer MMO trifecta is of course present, but Elder Tale also adds the Weapon-based classes into the mix as the main source of physical DPS.

	* '''Tohya''': A '''Samurai''', and Minori's twin brother. A newbie like Minori, Tohya's taken the Catastrophe relatively better than his sister if only because, in Theldesia, ''he can finally walk again'' (as he was stuck in a wheelchair beforehand). Compared to Minori (who seems to be morphing into a moe Shiroe 2.0), Tohya is much more straightforward and a tad more idealistic. It's not surprising that he and Naotsugu get along very well.		* '''Tohya''': A '''Samurai''', and Minori's twin brother.

Like Minori and Tohya, she was taken advantaged of by Hamelin, but was freed by Shiroe and the Crescent Moon Alliance.

Isuzu is one of the very few adventurers with actual skill as a musician and in the later chapters works a side job performing solo-covers of music from Japan.

	* '''Rudy''' / '''Rundlehouse Code''': The '''Sorcerer''' of the guild, Rudy is flashy, flamboyant, and generally odd. Unlike everyone else in the guild, he isn't a PC at all; instead, he was a Lander, and indeed joined the training camp incognito, before Isuzu found out his true identity. As a Lander, any death could have been very VERY final, but thanks to Shiroe he managed to gain the "Adventurer" profession, which bypasses many of those issues.		* '''Rudy''' / '''Rundlehouse Code''': The '''Sorcerer''' of the guild, Rudy is flashy, flamboyant, and generally odd.

	* '''Naotsugu''': Another Debauchery Tea Party alumnus, Naotsugu is an easy-going '''Guardian''' whose jovial and outwardly perverted persona belies a very VERY competent Tank player (reflected in his skillset choice and equipment).

Although usually quite the cool cat, there is a double edge to his personality. Mizufa was ~~able~~ to provoke him ~~in a duel~~ in the ''Route 43'' arc, and although Kazuhiko intervened to stop him, Nyanta is still the only member of Log Horizon ever shown actually trying to kill a lander outright.		* '''Nyanta''': Yet ''another'' Debauchery Tea Party alumnus, Nyanta is a Catfolk '''Swashbuckler''' (sense a pattern here?) as well as a chef par-excellance, and one of his discoveries related to food kickstarts much of the plot of the second book. Although usually quite the cool cat, there is a double edge to his personality. Nyanta is at least a decade older than Shiroe, and it's implied that he has suffered tragedies. Mizufa's flippant attitude towards death and suffering was enough to provoke him in the ''Route 43'' arc, and although fellow Tea Partier Kazuhiko intervened to stop him, Nyanta is still the only member of Log Horizon ever shown actually trying to kill a lander outright.

The hub town of the Osaka area. Unusual for an adventurer-populated locale, the adventurers of the city are all part of a single guild, Plant Hwayden, which is ruled by its mercurial master, Nureha the Enchanter.

			Minami lies within the territory of the Holy Westelande Empire, the former body politic over all of Yamato, and the Westelande nobility still harbor resentment about losing Eastal. After the Catastrophe, the lander nobility was persuaded to support Plant Hwayden in its bid to unify all adventurers, seeing them as a powerful ally with aligned ambitions. Westelande wants war, and Plant Hwayden is both a means to get it and a tool to win it.
