[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 7066474, member: 552"] I would say skill proficiencies, tool proficiencies, and languages as all being things you might get from race, background, or traits quite easily. [b][u]Human Races[/u][/b] The five broader cultural and racial groups that migrated into the Eärwan subcontinent at the beginning of the Second Age. These are commonly known as the Norsirai, the Ketyai, the Satyothi, the Scylvendi, and the Xiuhianni. The current human population of Eärwa descends from these five and interbreeding between them. Norsirai The typically blond-haired, light-eyed, fair-skinned race predominantly concentrated in the northern Three Seas. Their language group is known as Vasnosri. Although they mostly live on the northern fringes of the Three Seas, they were once the dominant race of Men and ruled all the lands north to the Yimaleti Mountains. Ketyai The typically dark-haired, brown-eyed, olive-skinned race predominantly concentrated in the southern, western, and eastern Three Seas. Their language group is known as Kengetic. The Ketyai are the largest race of Men and currently the dominant civilization. Satyothi The black-skinned, black-haired but green-eyed race predominantly concentrated in the southwestern nation of Zeüm and the southern extremities of the Three Seas. Scylvendi The dark-haired, pale-eyed, and fair-skinned race predominantly concentrated in the Jiünati Steppe. Their language group is known as Skaaric. The Scylvendi are pastoral nomads and very isolated from the other human cultures. Xiuhianni The black-haired, olive-skinned race that still dwells beyond the Great Kayarsus, who, according to The Chronicle of the Tusk, refused to follow the other four tribes into Eärwa. Some of the Ketyai on the eastern fringes of the Three Seas have some racial characteristics of Xiuhianni, as they overlap. [b][u]Languages[/u][/b] The language groups mentioned above are just that, groups. There are multiple nations within each group and multiple dialects, especially over time, between these regions. If a language is similar to one you know, you can understand it with an intelligence check. If it is closely related, you have proficiency on that check. If it is very closely related, you have double your proficiency on that check.
