[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6408394, member: 6677017"] As far as dragonborn, I'm not really sure why people feel the need to include them in settings that have never had them. I mean, is it a matter of PHB inclusion? If the PHB had Kender would you stick them in Greyhawk and the Realms? You got it. They published Greyhawk material sparingly in the 2e era, and basically decided to stick a huge amount of material into the Forgotten Realms--whether it fit or not. Let's take that Oriental Adventures Kara-Tur setting and stick it over to the east of Faerun. We've already got more than one middle-eastern themed area of the Forgotten Realms, but let's take this Zakhara setting from Arabian Adventures and just stick bolt it on to the southeast of Faerun as a subcontinent anyway. That way we'll make darn certain that there is at least 50% more middle-eastern inspired territory than European territory in the Forgotten Realms, so we can snicker to ourselves when people ignorantly comment on how it's a euro-centric fantasy setting. Let's make a large turkic themed area and stick it into Faerun as the Horde boxed set. We've mostly neglected earth's western hemisphere, so let's make a meso-american setting, we'll call it "Maztica," and stick it across the sea from Faerun. It was ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
