Message: <blockquote data-quote="RichGreen" data-source="post: 4532307" data-attributes="member: 2039">Races of ParsantiumI've posted some of this before, but this is what I'm putting in the campaign handout on the various PC races:•    The population of Parsantium is mostly human. Human characters are most likely to be Batiaran, Akhrani (Arabian), Sahasran (Indian) or Tiangaon (Chinese) in origin. •    Dwarves are found all over the city. Their homeland is a mountainous area several hundred miles to the west of Parsantium but they are found in many towns in the former Batiaran Empire. As well as being natural miners and smiths, dwarves mint coinage, operate banks, issue letters of credit, hold loans and collect debts.•    Halflings are common throughout the city, often arriving as part of a caravan and staying for a year or two before heading off again. They tend to live close to the city gates or the waterfront. •    Elves and eladrin are uncommon; those that do live in the city often make their homes in the leafy Garden Ward and the park district of the Grand Ward. The Feyshore Forest to the east of Parsantium is home to both races. •    Half-elves are more numerous than elves; they favour the busy streets of the Jewel and Caravans Wards and the Mercantile Quarter, but can be found anywhere where the different races and cultures mingle and network with each other.•    The dragonborn and the tieflings originate in southern lands, far from Parsantium, where their two ancient empires clashed and ultimately fell into ruin. Many Dragonborn belong to the Moonscale clan which has its clan hall in the Emerald Ward. Some are paladins and wizards but many more are jewellers. Tieflings tend to be found in the Old Quarter living in homes that once belonged to Akhrani or Sahasran citizens. Many are merchants; few are trusted.•    Parantium’s half-orcs are part of the city’s underclass but have formed their own community and are trying their hardest to become accepted by the rest of the city. Unlike their warlike orcish ancestors, they are typically honest, clean-living, hard-working and peaceful.Half-orcs perform manual labour and do the "unclean" jobs that the Sahasran poor can't do. •    Gnolls are the other half of the city's underclass but this race stays more true to its savage heritage. Gnolls often find employment as hired enforcers, bodyguards and bouncers and sometimes become involved in crime. •    The few genasi in Parsantium originate in the deserts and mountains of the Caliphate of Akhran. Firesoul genasi are the most prevalent.</blockquote>
