Thread: Continental Races

If I was to add a few settings into Birthright like Kara-Tur, The Horde,
Al-Qadim, and Maztica what would you fellas on the list think of the races
already in the settings? Are elves a Cerilia specific race or are they
elsewhere? How about dwarves and orcs?
These settings would be continents separate from Cerilia and Anduiria if I
was to use them. Travelers are always possible but I am talking about
indigenous to the settings.
ciao,
Paul

Magian,
I would think that there could be elves elsewhere but they may be different than the ones in Cerilia. Cerilian elves are unique.
I can't think of any reason why dwarves and orcs would be any different anywhere else. Unless they have unique features in the settings you are bringing into the game.Lord Eldred

Are you suggesting then that in the settings that he brings in as new continents he should eliminate orcs?

Orcs are a possibility on continent. I also believe that dwarves could be as well, but they would have to be related in some way to the Cerilian variety to make it plausible that the same race exists in two different places. Thus the dwarves should aquire the stony mass and elemental affinity of cerilian dwarves.
Elves however are native to Cerilia itself. If they got off the continent then their spread should be justified somehow. One possible period would be during the golden age of the Elven empire.
The question arises though, of how well Cerilian elves fit into the other campaigns?

Back in the 2e version of D&D (when BR was published) orogs were a subrace
of orcs. That doesn`t mean there need be orcs anywhere on Aebrynis, but it
does make for a better justification for that race`s inclusion than, say,
kobolds.

Are you basing this on some reference from the published materials? Most
of the text regarding elves seems to take pains to describe them as
"Cerilian elves" or Sidhelien, differentiating them from any standard D&D
elf but also any other possible elven races on Aebrynis who may have a
totally different attitude/culture.

My idea is that majority of Elves fled to Thaele.
