=== Humans ===
=== Humans ===
Humans make up the majority of [[Setting#Geography|Stardew Valley]]'s population. Most humans live normal lives, however [[Wizard]]s and Witches still exist and study ancient arcane energies.
They make up a majority of the Valley's population and are much like humans everywhere.
=== Dwarves ===
Dwarves call themselves 'Smoluanu', or 'Sky People'. They are known for living underground and once having advanced technology in ancient times. Archaeologist M. Jasper believes they are an alien race, as indicated in the [[Lost Books|Lost Book]] entitled ''[[Lost Books#Mysteries of the Dwarves|Mysteries of the Dwarves]]''. One [[dwarf]] can be found living in [[The Mines]] while a second is running a [[Volcano Dungeon#Shop|Shop]] in the Volcano Dungeon.
=== Dwarves ===
=== Shadow People ===
Shadow people are beings that cannot stand the light. They fought in the Elemental Wars when the Dwarves invaded their ancestral home deep underground. [[Krobus]] is a shadow person who can be found living in [[The Sewers]]. Most of the shadow people encountered in the game are [[monsters]] found in [[the Mines]], known as [[Shadow Brute]]s and [[Shadow Shaman]]s. Humans also call them Void Spirits.
=== Junimos ===
{{main article|Junimos}}
Keepers of the forest. They are spirits that live with the trees. Most of the Junimos can be found living in the [[Community Center]]. They have inspired the [[Junimo Kart]] video game.
=== Fairies ===
=== Fairies ===
Fairies are magical beings which are mentioned in old legends but can also be encountered by the player. A fairy is summoned by the [[Fairy Box]] [[Trinkets|trinket]]. A fairy may occasionally appear to [[Random Events#The Crop Fairy|bless crops]] on the [[The Farm|farm]]. As hinted in the item's description, the [[Fairy Rose]] attracts fairies and increases the chance of this happening. The description of [[Fairy Stone]] reads "{{Description|Fairy Stone}}"
=== Elves ===
=== Elves ===
Nimble and skilled craftsmen. The description for [[Elvish Jewelry]] reads "Dirty but still beautiful. On the side is a flowing script thought by some to be the ancient language of the elves. No Elvish bones have ever been found."
=== Goblins ===
Goblins are described in the [[Lost Books|Lost Book]] titled ''[[Lost Books#Goblins|Goblins]]''. The [[Henchman]] is a goblin who can be encountered guarding the [[Witch's Hut]] and will only move after being given [[Void Mayonnaise]], which is considered a delicacy by the Goblin race.
=== Shadow People ===
=== Merpeople ===
{{main article|The Merpeople}}
The [[Wizard]] makes a reference to their existence during the [[Luau]]. At the [[Night Market]] there is a Mermaid Boat, where upon entering, a mermaid will appear and begin singing to the player, accompanied by a cutscene. On rainy days a Mermaid will appear on the large rock by the shore of the [[Ginger Island|Pirate Cove]] on [[Ginger Island]]. Very rarely, a green sea monster might appear under the left-most pier at The Beach and then swim south. This may or may not be a merperson. It is purely cosmetic and cannot be caught by fishing. Two merpeople appear in the [[perfection]] cutscene.
===Tundra Dwellers===
Referenced by [[Linus]] at the [[Festival of Ice]], when he says "Igloo-building's an art I picked up from the tundra dwellers who live beyond the frozen sea." This may simply be referring to a specific group of humans.
=== [[Junimos]] ===
== Timeline ==
=== The Elemental Wars ===
An event referenced by the [[Wizard]]. It was the war between the Dwarves and Shadow People. The Dwarves, having driven the Shadow People from their ancestral home, forced the Shadow People to resort to violence. The Elemental Wars have long been finished, and the Dwarves and Shadow People must now live in peace for the sake of the humans living around them.

Leah's ex, Kel, says in Leah's 10-heart event that they came all the way from Zuzu City to see the sculptures (Note: This only happens if you suggested the art show at the 2-heart event for Leah). After collecting all [[Scarecrow#Rarecrows|rarecrows]], a letter is sent signed by "The Z.C. Rarecrow Society".
The [[Movie Theater#Movies|movie]] "The Zuzu City Express" also references Zuzu City.
===Grampleton===
One of the dialogue choices during [[Penny]]'s 8-heart event may lead the player to refer to Stardew Valley's natural resources by saying "You'll find no better lumber south of Grampleton."

The [[Movie Theater|movie]] "It Howls in the Rain" references Grampleton.
One of the fishers at the [[Trout Derby]] says "I came all the way from Grampleton for this."
===Prairie Island===
Referenced in the [[Movie Theater#Movies|movie]] "Natural Wonders: Exploring Our Vibrant World", it is an island far to the west of the Gem Sea, home to a diverse array of natural biomes and an abundant population of raccoons. The name "Prairie Island" possibly in reference to [[Journey of the Prairie King]].

In [[Livin' Off The Land]], on the 25th of Fall, Year 2, the host mentions that "it's just a couple of days until communities around the Ferngill Republic celebrate [[Spirit's Eve]]!" This suggests that the holiday is celebrated only in the Republic, but this is not elaborated further.
