Being located near volcanoes, they tend to dominate the obsidian trade.  Githzerai are not planar either, existing rather as isolated mystics in high peaks and deep valleys that are loathe to converse with others. Half-Giants are islanders, not considered half-giant, just unusually large, and they make up a great race of pirates and raiders on the eastern coast of the continent (with a dash of Asian flavor thrown in, too). Maenads are a northern race that dominates many cultural centers, and are quite religious, seeing the sacrifice of life as being key to keeping in check their own emotions. Thri-Kreen are officially 'desert barbarians' of the far north, the best-known species in the campaign setting lands, but they have a very cold relationship with the southern folk in the lands, and are regarded as a big danger. They're big on the use of bone rather than crystal in their psionics. Xephs are a little bit fey-like, and are mostly hunter/gatherers that exist as dangerous headhunters in a very primitive style.</blockquote>
