>artificials
>chimerics
Wouldn't those two be similar to the point of overlapping?
Artificials could be the catch-all race for the various homunculi, chimeras, automatons, and so on.
Alternatively, may I suggest aberrants, a catch-all for mutants and various other twisted beings, including eldtritch stuff, if it exists in the setting.

Unironically a fey race.
Elves are often depicted as angel-like perfect people — a human before he fell from God's grace.
Orks would be the corruption and perversion of that perfection, twisted into savages that live to fight and kill.
>dark elves
If elves are the angels, dark elves are the fallen ones, aka demons.
Orks could be twisted by an outside force, rather than coming into sin and corruption on their own.
It just werks.

him and all the other dark seldarin sit in a corner and watch as Eilistraee and Lolth keep collecting followers
>except Malyk, that dude is deader than Kiaransalee who is on the god equivalent of life-support, barely held together by necromancers evoking her name during rituals
you think she'd be down with being worshipped by non-drow? every prayer counts when you're barely clinging to relevancy

>the games
I forget there are more games than BG 1, 2 and 3
Including Forgotten Realms Archive- if any games would benefit from a remake, it is probably those
