Message: <blockquote data-quote="Remathilis" data-source="post: 3478970" data-attributes="member: 7635">I realize this isn't aimed at me, but I'd like to answer it.My rationale for asking was because in many of the games I've played/run, humans have been like my group: white/Caucasian. Most of D&D's art (like the fantasy art that inspires it) is notably white. Dark-skinned characters are usually drow, for example. So Jaela's appearance seemed odd, and a bit exotic. It really was the first time I saw an NPC in a D&D setting that was noticeably dark skinned. (Which need not be African, Moorish people and middle easterners could be described similarly) As someone who likes to be able to explain certain things (populations, etc) I was interested in seeing if there was more info on this. Having not yet read Sarlona ( <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> )I didn't know if it was covered anywhere. However, I liked the concept of not-all Eberronian Humans being Tolkien-white, and was wondering if there was anything more to it than a cosmetic element.</blockquote>
