Sure. It contains Fallens, Risens, and Pentahydrae.
Consider this a preview to all of what v1.1 of Chaos Theory holds in store.

EDIT: Here's the link to DFFD:
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8724

I just downloaded that and started up a Pentahydra adventurer, ran over to a Fallen's town/village/hamlet, and found that Fallen's don't like Pentahydra. At first I just went around biting and wrestling anything, but then I wrestled one Blizzarium and one Netherium pick from the fallen, and proceeded to destroy them with it. Exactly how good is Netherium and Blizzarium , FallenAngel? If it's any good, I think one of these will be my weapon of choice. Which is better?

The two metals are equal, but Netherium is 200 degrees C, and Blizzerium is negative 200 degrees C.
A later update for Chaos Theory will make them still identical besides that, but even more viable. If I remember right, they were based off of either iron or steel, but sharper. I might have changed the densities; I can't remember off-hand.
Either way, both metals are very very good when used as sharp weapons and still of high-quality when used as bashing weapons.
Fallens and Risens are made of Blizzerium and Netherium, respectively, but the ability for those metals to be cut isn't changed yet.
Any vanilla organic race with Netherium will have that part melt from the heat, but Blizzerium causes no negative effects, despite the fact it can flash-freeze water, and is quite close to Human Absolute Zero (Dwarven Absolute Zero is much, much colder, and much more dwarven).
So yeah, those two picks you got are weapons to be feared, but both Fallens and Risens have innate combat skills (Fallens have lower innate combat skills but have innate everything, while Risens are machines of pure murder. Their weak point is their heart, somewhat).
Funnily enough, pentahydras aren't injured by holding a netherium anything.
I'm assuming that Fallens hate Pentahydra due to ethics - Fallens have ethics similar to dwarves, but with some modifications, while Pentahydras have goblin ethics down to the letter. The reason will be explained when I upload the official Beta v1.1, which will include more things. The Pentahydra are the only new race, however.

Actually, Pentahydra do get affected by Netherium. I was so confused cause I kept melting out of no where, and I'm guessing that's why. That, or it's a super delayed effect of the evil cloud I walked through forever ago.

EDIT: BTW, Risens hate me too, despite me starting in a Risen hamlet

I assume I never experienced it because I probably never held a netherium item (or wore one) long enough for the melting to ensue. Pentahydra are huge, but mathematically 1000 times smaller than a normal Hydra. Therefore, it takes much longer for the heat of Netherium to start melting in your fat. With any inorganic race, never have more than one or two netherium objects touching your skin for too long, or you'll bleed to death.

Wow, Risens TOUGH. I figured if I brought one out, I could probably deal with it. He's taken out three of my brains and I've barely done anything to him.

EDIT: And, dead. He took out all five of my brains. He was just a farmer too.

Risens are, by default, Accomplished in every combat stat, and made of solid metal. Even their blood.
Pentahydras are organic, and therefore weaker, but much larger, than Risens.
They are also twice as fast as normal creatures, never tire, never sleep, and never need to eat or drink.
They're like the Terminator, but made of metal much hotter than boiling water.

So, with them being made of that metal, if they say, grab you, will you start melting where they grab? It shouldn't be too hard to test this in the arena.

Given that spoilers can melt furniture by being near them, I'm pretty sure that you could start melting if they touch you too long.
I have noticed that constructed walls in their towns are defined as "Warm".

I've tested this in the arena, and after a very, very long time of holding a human's head with my hand as a risen, there's still no damage to the head. So, it seems like it's a no.

Okay then.
By the way, I have learned how to get Kinesthetic Sense and Spatial Sense through the roof - wail on a Giant Sponge for a while.
Seriously, your stats will fly up fast.

Speaking of stats, apparently you can start off as the worst possible adventurer as a risen and still be able to kill a risen axe lord. I don't even know how I did it, I just kept moving toward the axe lord till one of us died.

Most axes take lots of targeted hits to kill risens or fallens; killing a bunch of necromancers who were either took a long time.
Adamantine can cleave through them like a hot knife through butter, although the knife is cooler than when fighting Bronze Colossi.

The thing is, I was using a copper and he was using a blizzarium/netherium battleaxe, and yet I still won. I may have just gotten extremely lucky,  but it sure was weird. Now this adventurer is basically invincible cause he got to legendary plus four billion shielduser.

Probably my last adventure before the new version. Started as a human, and just tried to explore wherever I could. This world was kind of bland though. The only necro tower was far to the south, and way too far from any civilizations to expect to reach there any time soon.
I ain't happy; I'm feeling glad.
But I did find an elven hamlet. Took some sun berries and built a still and a barrel with some logs I acquired by taking down the wall of a wooden house.
I got sunshine, in a bag.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Mostly savage areas here. I've been chased by all kinds of beasts, from dire boars to raptors.
I'm useless, but not for long.
Eventually made my way to an evil swamp. Got chased by undead, with most of them being various types of birds. Though I did get chased by a pack of gorillas.
The future, is coming on.
