Honestly, my objections to what you're saying kinda went awy the more I realized your concern is with your specific campaign, rather than FR as a published official setting and how anyone else runs a game, etc. For a given campaign like that, I would just present it to new players as a homebrew campaign based on the earliest FR info, before a lot of new stuff existed, and so some of the newer stuff might be hard to fit into the campaign. That's no less a reasonable way to run things than making a homebrew campaign that only has Gnomes, Goliaths, Minotaurs and Drow, and is based strongly on the Mediterranean, Byzantines and Abbasid Caliphate, and thus doesn't allow any elf characters. I almost want to play that now...but I have too many campaigns as it is...Funny thing about the middle ages europe. If you lived in any  sizable port town, you would almost certainly see someone who wasn't  white, and it would happen more than once. Africans of various cultures  traveled all over, as did people from the near and far east. Europeans  saw a lot more diversity than fiction portrays. Not saying you're off  track or anything, just that it's good to remember that trade and travel  didn't cease in the middle ages, and a very very small portion of  Europe genuinely experienced a "dark age", and it didn't last very long.  Also, I'm not sure what's wrong with wanting to play an actual  dragon, so long as it's a young one, and low level. It would have been  easier to build in 4e, probably, but I'm sure a clever DM could work  something up to allow someone to play a young dragon in 5e that would  balance just fine, gaining power and size, and the ability to polymorph,  as it levels. It's not a binary.</blockquote>
