Without spoiling? hm. okay let me give that a try.

In the gardens of the moon he writes about anomander rake and the tiste andii who are tall, midnight skinned, lithe, and ancient. their people is a dead ringer for elves. however as you progress through the chapters you will see that they are very very un-elf like. they care so little about the world and they seem tired and uninspired.

he also writes about the t'lan imass, a whole people of skeletal warriors and bone mages with stone weapons. for fear of spoilers, that is all i dare say about them.

and eventually later in the middle books you will encounter karsa orlong and eight foot ironwood sword wielding brute, Erikson's answer to the trope of the noble savage.

even spiders get a go at this series with mogora and iskaral pust.
