The fact than you can pretty much flip a race between those two settings by making a minor change like that to the name highlights the problem.   People who want to play in wotc owned worlds that are not a near direct copy of greyhawk are left with no options that don't involve fighting the system. Representing the races of those worlds.  The omission is not small either The PHB by comparison has 29 pages& ee player' companion adds 8 more for a total of 37 pages dedicated to races to fit FR with or without filing the serial number off with a name like that.  Rising has 35 pages dedicated to the PC races in eberron & exploring eberron has 3 more plus a page dedicated to racial feats & it7's not the first 5e eberron book with racial feats.   That might look like a huge disparity thatcould lead someone to say how there were just too many to fit except ight of them are dedicated to  the core races themselves & another two dedicated to versions of the Dar (Goblinoids) that fit the only setting where goblinoids are considered people rather than monsters & that was needed because the goblinoids along with all of the other monstrous & semimonstrous races across 18 pages of volos were also written pretty exclusively to fit fr & greyhawk even when those races had distinct playable roles in existing wotc settings.</p></blockquote><p></p>
