What are special races exactly and is it possible to apply?

http://illarion.org/illarion/races/us_humans.php

The special races are applied for when you add a char, there is a link to apply for them at that area.

Special races are: goblin, Gnome, Fairy.

There is a button if you log into your account page, that says "Apply for special race."

And in what way are they special exactly?

They are special in that you cannot play them without an application. Nothing else really

And has anyone ever played with them? What do they look like? Where do they live and how well are they accepted by others?

All explained in the links provided above.

The most common that I've seen is fairies, though I have seen all three. I think they are fairly accepted unless you pick to play them as mischievious and such

*smiles, of course people love the special races and it depends on your Role Play if anyone will like your character. Here is a help website you can go to it will show you many great and wonderful things about races, Gobaith, gods, a map, and even the calendar.
