Ancestry List | Solasta II Races & Subraces

by JFFK · February 28, 2025

Welcome to our Ancestry List for Solasta II. This page lists all Ancestries available in Solasta II, and their strengths. Ancestries are also known as races.

Some Ancestries also have variants or subraces. An example of this is the Dwarf Ancestry, which is split into Hill Dwarf and Snow Dwarf. Varants inherit their qualities from their main Ancestry, but also add some additional features of their own.
