Unless we do the Time Warp again.

Flaming Fist are fantasy Pinkertons.

Pretty sure they accept recruits of any species.

In Baker's Exploring Eberron (good book, recommended by me) he has this to say about aasimar: He then goes on to add four additional subtypes of aasimar as well.

You need to read what Keith Baker has to say about this. He says there is a space for everything in Eberron, and it should be refluffed as needed. So, for example, if a player wants to play a tortle, they might have started out as a natural turtle who was mutated by the magical radiation of the...

I will just mention that you can get from Aber to Toril by spelljammer, and so a few Dragonborn will have made the journey before the mass migration. In which case, they are likely to have ended up near where there are spaceports, such as the Sword Coast.

Does it actually say that? Because if it does it’s wrong. Goblins are far more numerous than most of the PHB species. And aasimar are incredibly rare. You don’t get many angels making babies with mortals. There are probably more nothics in the world.

Character anchors are not tied to species. You can use anything you want. You can be from the Sword Coast without being from a monoculture. The thing is, aside from the "go home" racist connotations, you need a minimum population size to have a monocultural community. There are a few dragonborn...

Your DM won't let you add a small family of dragonborn to a town?! What you need is a better DM, not a setting book that spells out population demographics in minute detail. I'm pretty sure the source material does not state that there are zero dragonborn. There will be a whole bunch of...

Backstory, not options. But I didn't say it was unique, I said it's not universal.

Pretty sure it isn’t.

The Critical Role method is for the player and the DM to work together on backstory, so that it actually includes things that are likely to be relevant to stuff that is likely to happen during the campaign.

Greenest has a thriving community of people, some of whom happen to be dragonborn.

I must have them, but I have no idea who they are or where they are. I can’t say, I’m a Farquhar, ergo I must come from from Farquharland. There is no such place. Likewise there is no need for there to be any “Dragonborn settlements” on the Sword Coast for a Dragonborn to be from the Sword...

They are not Scottish though. No reason why your Dragonborn characters should have friends, family and organisations that are also Dragonborn. I have no biological relatives closer than 200 miles. And aside from that one person, I have no known biological relatives at all.
