One thing I love about this series is how powerful people were before Rudy's time, and how it never makes Rudy that busted(even if he's still pretty OP). Dragon Folks punching mountains into pieces, Explosions ripping apart continents, single sword swings cutting paths through mountains etc. It adds to the Mysticism of the world.

Because 90% of the races are just humans but with some race defining feature. Just think about it the same way you'd think about Neanderthals and other Proto-Humanoids procreating with Homosapiens.
