While the FRCS broke down huamsn by region, it never really broke it down into ethnic groups. So, using a real-life analogy, while the British Isles and Gaul both had the Celtic peoples living there, the main "CS book" for this celtic game didn't acknowledge that they were of the same culture in a mechanical fashion - rather their regional feats and such might be simlar, plus it might mention that there was a large majority of celtic peoples there. Then when Races of Europe came out, it broke it down in a more clear fashion, and even gave specific feats which only celtic people could take.Thus, Raes of Faerun was a pretty neat book in that niche it created for itself, and gave an amazing amount of decription for human ethnicities. This was continued into the 3.5-branching book, Players Guide to Faerun in a lesser manner, where some of the feats were revised slightly, and all avaliable feats from a region where listed, plus ethnicities and such.Possibly my favourite part, in a nerdy sort of way, was how the % of a certain ethnicity lived in a region was listed in Races of Faerun. It was a great spot of detail that was both interesting and helpful, in some ways more than others.Not being a Greyhawk Player or DM, I can't say how much that this compares to the breakdown in that CS, but in Forgotten Realms, that is how it works, more or less.Hope that helps! cheers,--N</blockquote>
