The settlements of the PC races are usually points of light but aren't necessarily good-aligned. They are places where people can share shelter from the dangers of the wild wide world. There is no inherent racial enmity between PC races and hostile atitudes do not generally go beyond fear or lack of respect   There's some good stuff on community dynamics in points of light, but too much to type out...try to find a few sentances...Conflict between points of light might be as common as outside threats. Even outsiders are expected to obey the laws and acknowledge the customs of the community. Every settlement has a ruler, whether the ruling body takes the form of a council of elders of a local monarch.  Within the power structure of many towns is a built in tolerance for disparate races. Those who carved out the empires of old conquered many different peoples, brining together numerous races under one banner. During such times of unification travel was more common and people learned to accept and even become fond of those different from themselves.  There's some notes on the community dynamics of various races. Some races, (Dragonborn, Tiefling, Half-elves, Gnomes) have no communities of their own, while others may form their own villages and towns.   It should also be noted that one of the goals of the points of light setting is to get away from the "Humans rule the world" set up most campaign settings have. There is a statement somewhere that the last human empire crumpled about a century ago, in the face of a gnoll invasion.   Overall, the general idea seems to be that while the communities may be isolated now, they've been unified at various points in the past and unification could happen again, under the right circumstances. Also, while communities may be in conflict with each other, it's rarely along racial lines.</blockquote>
