Yes, it's YET ANOTHER ethnicity topic!
Okay, so we've all heard the question before. What real-life ethnic-group/race do the races of Magnamund correspond to? In another topic, August outright stated that we pretty much have to wait for a regional gazetteer to get in-depth descriptions of the races... even if SOME are fairly obvious ( ~cough~Sommlending~cough~ ).
But my question is, what is the general consensus among the masses? The ones I'm most interested in are also the ones that seem to overlap the most - the Nael, Vaderish, and Aluvian peoples. What group do YOU think that each of those races resembles in the real world?
Feel free to share opinions on the Nael, Vaderish, and Aluvian, as well as any others you care to suggest. That way, budding GMs can get an idea what sort of facial features/build/hair/eye color their various NPCs should have...[/i]
