[QUOTE="arscott, post: 4145604, member: 17969"] I'd wager just the opposite. Consider the following: -The empire of Nerath spanned a large area, enough that native populations of all PHB races existed within its borders. The existence of the empire would encourage the migration of various races. The empire collapsed only a century ago, and coupled with the long-lifespans of the non-human races, the continued existence of minority populations in villages is certainly feasible. -Halflings and Dragonborn are described as at least somewhat nomadic. For those wanderers that settle down, their permanent home is just as likely to be in a human village as anywhere else. -Teiflings aren't even a separate race, as such. They're just humans living under a family curse. Beyond being generally concentrated in the area that used to be Bael-Turath, there's no reason for them to be segregated from the rest of humanity. -Eladrin live in the feywild, and the border between the feywild and the world is very thin. It's not a stretch to say that there might be eladrin (or at least half-elves) found in even the most Isolated villages. And all of that is assuming that the village isn't specifically in any border region close to a different race's settlements. Though proximity wouldn't be as likely to result in migration as it is in our modern world, there's still the possibility. My points of Light: The emperor's road stretches from the heart of old Nerath into the shattered desert where once Bael Turath stood, and further into the Jungles of the distant south. And each hard day's ride, there stands a mission of Pelor*. Those closest to the Nerathi capital are at the center of thriving towns or villages. Further south, some are still tended by devout priests, but others have been abandoned or worse. No man alive today recalls exactly how far south the road stretches. But if you're to find the golden city and the treasure that it's priest-king cultivates, then you'll be seeing the road's end. *Probably Pelor. We'll have to see what the pantheon looks like.
