When you are the DM you can decide yourself what status the races have in your campaign. When teh "tiefling kingdom" is just next door and the border towns will have a big tiefling population (a result of previous conflicts between the two kingdoms) they certainly won't be rare. Likewise the dragonborn could have a very martial culture and are favored mercenaries so you see them nearly everywhere as hired guards or instructors.So you see just because dragonborn are a new core race in 4E doesn't mean that they have to just have appeared a few days ago out of nothing. They couldhave lived alongside humans for hundereds of years and in that case they are neither rare nor bizarre as humans would probably have got used to their looks by now.Fitting them into existing campaigns wouldbe a bit harder but even there they don't have to be rare and bizarre. Just because every PC race so far looked like a human doesn't mean that all PC races have to. And don't forget that GH won't be the default setting for D&D anymore in 4Ed.</blockquote>
