[QUOTE="Marc_C, post: 8129163, member: 7025897"] Until recently I had never read the WGK box set. I had the Greyhawk Folio and some modules. That was enough for me back in the early 80s. Living Greyhawk didn't interest me during 3e. The passage that I find the most interesting in the [B]Fantasy Setting[/B] booklet is on page 13. [I]"THERE ARE FEW PURE RACIAL GROUPS EXTANT ON the Flanaess, save perhaps at the fringe areas of the continent. Of course, the races of demi-humans are relatively unmixed, but humankind, [U]as is its wont, has industriously intermixed in the central regions to form a hybrid type[/U] which has actually become the norm..... • Baklunish: The Baklunish people have golden-hued skin tones. • Flannae: The Flan race have a bronze-colored complexion. • Oeridians: The Oeridians have skin tones ranging from tan to olive. • The Suel race: Is very fair-skinned, some being almost albino. .......In general, the skin color of an individual is of no particular importance. The dark Flan complexion shows up quite often in most nations. By contrast, the nobles of the Great Kingdom are proud of being light-skinned, just as the rulers of Tenh are overly conscious of the supposed superiority of their deep bronze color. In the central region of the Flanaess, from western Urnst Duchy to Geoff, there is little heed paid to either skin color or racial type, whether human or demi-human (or even humanoid, in some places). The main exception to this is the demi-human kingdoms, where humankind is judged inferior, especially in Celene. "[/I] ______________________________________________________ Because of the artwork and the medieval-like heraldry I always assumed, incorrectly, that most of Greyhawk was population by "fair-skinned" people. That is quite a revelation to me. [/QUOTE]
