Genasi are a distinct race, having been created millennia ago to aid the elementals in their was against the titan (who created the giants and giant-kin) and the elder dragons (who created the dragonborn and kobolds). Genasi are related to humans, as their creation was brought about by imbuing humans with the elements. Where the elementals once held sway, the genasi are their inheritors, one nation is largely made up of humans and genasi, but it is the genasi who hold the political power.I have various locations where the different races are centralised, but still small enclaves show up elsewhere. Gnomes as a race tend to be centred around portals connecting the prime and the fey wild, their villages extending outwards on both planes. Finding them is difficult for outsiders due to powerful illusions masking them. Halflings tend to be nomadic, travelling in small caravans within other kingdoms. One of my players was a bouncer at the carnival that she travelled with.I have a fantasy version of Egypt based on Stygia, the ruling class are made up of 6 fingered tieflings who control the priesthood and quash any resistance to their rule. Their gods are their progenitor, Graz'zt, and his exalts who supplanted the worship of the primordials when they were cast back to the elemental planes by the gods.Dwarves are pretty standard I guess, they live in vaults carved into the sides of mountains. Their old cities deep within the underdark largely abandoned once they found the sky.Dragonborn, ruling much of what was once the territory of the dragon elders, have kingdoms and city states filled with with dragonborn and kobolds. They are on friendly terms with lizardfolk, their scaled cousins, though the yuanti as a rule,  are killed wherever they are found so that their evil doesn't infect the rest of the scaled folk.</blockquote>
