Which race would you like to see in the game? (August Poll #2)

I have all chapters rigorously planned and outlined for the game, except for two new ones (which resulted in the split between Lavinet and Mimir's chapters). Though I have a rough idea of the story for these two chapters nailed down, I find myself up in the air about the races that are involved with them. (In case you didn't know, most chapters of the game cover a different race or faction, like the Hunters in the Reach, the Mages in the Veiled Circle, the Merchants and Thieves Guilds, etc.) So I'm going to get a feel for what races you're most interested in seeing! Right now it's a toss-up between:

1) The Woken - mysterious breeds of massive, intelligent animals who have somehow achieved sentience and manlike thinking. They have been hidden away from the world since the Dawn Wars. The main four Woken races include the Valek, or ghost wolves (think the giant wolves in Princess Mononoke); the Sidhe, or cloud leopards, cunning and giant winged cats; the Indrik, or tree-antlered deer; and the Cama, or pale-horned horses.

The Woken cannot be recruited to become Shepherds, and instead a different faction will be recruited from the same chapter.

2) The Changelings - a community of shapeshifters who can, well, shift shapes. They are thought to be a genetic offshoot of Mages but call themselves their own people with their own culture. They normally stay hidden from the outside world, deep in swamps, as they are greatly sought-after (or hunted) for their abilities in espionage.
