Greetings!!
Here can we discuss wich race that is the coolest and the best.
I would prefer if we keept too humanoid races, becouse many races, like dragons, are much more powerful then humans, elfs and so on.
Personally I prefer the most elfen subraces.
These are my favorites for now:
-Avariel
-Drow
-Sea elf |

Not all dragons, though.
As for the curse word: It was no curse word! I was talking about a KITTEN! A KITTEN, DAMMIT!!! |

Yes, dragon's can use human, drow, or other forms to mate. |

I'd pick a dragon in front of a Orc ANY DAY! |

I think this is rude, you are talking about a curse word that none of us have even seen. Tell us the word or stop talking about it please.
And I dont really see how Dragons and Humans can mate?
Seems pretty disgusting. But dragons can take human form, cant they?
I guess this is the explanation. |

With pleasure, but just so you know, I have a permanent true sight spell active, due to the equipment I wear. I knew you weren't in here the whole time.
(If you would like to read more about some of the equipment my character wears, please divert your attention to The Sage's Magic Shop, page 33, located in the Running the Realms folder.) |

Hmf. Vulgar it may be. Very well, point taken. I shall frain from it in the future.
And... : : Ec'Thelion is suddently standing right behind the Drow, to the right of him, to the left of him, and other images of him is surrounding the drow : : please remove that blade? Not that it would matter, though. It's not the real me. I'm not even really in this room, but that is none of your buisness, goo... err... evil Drow. |

Actually, It just seems vulgar. Shadowlord gracefully sweeps behind Ec'Thelion, and places his blade accross his neck. You have gall, lich. I am evil, but for now my objectives are best served by making those around me think I am less of a threat. |

Well. So much for the Chaotic Evil Drow 
Personalyl I've never understood why peopel get offended by curse word, then again I'm cathegorized as "Intelectually challenged" 'cuz I use them, so it is probably beyond me.
And I was referring to cats, not whatever-it-was-that-you-were-thinking-of. |

CLEAN UP YOUR POST BEFORE ALAUNDO SEES THAT!
In the future, refrain from using profanity, it galls me. (at least in the forums) |

Half-Dragons pwn drow giry-men any day!  |

Every already knows my response, so I won't even deign to answer that question...... |

Half-Dragons, 'cuz they are the deadlyest (Humanoid) thing EVER!
Human Half-Dragons, ofcourse. They are the most powerful ones. Atleast they were back in 2e...  |

onley elf lovers have done so i say this is what makes them strong and humans do unite when the time of war is open them it is just that no one likes Cormyr. |

Okey, now that we have mostly agreed that the elves are the coolest race, I will upgrade this topic: This topic is now for discusion about wich SUBrace that is the coolest and/or best.
I would say Avariels becouse of their wings.
And the Seaelves, becosue they are freaking living under water. |

Posted - 30 Jan 2004 : 20:38:12
Hmmmm.... so the humans are screwed? 
Hey, we could look at it like this; If they precive evryone as enemies, then everyone becomes enemies, and thus they are (all) surrounded by enemies. I think the hmuans aer doing a pretty good job!
(Yeah it was a futile attempt, I know) |

The concept of humans being more unified in teh Realms is really a flawed one. Humans have far more in the line of inter-race hatred, prejudice, and division. Nations, races, and cultures despise each other in the Realms. Look at Sembia and Cormyr; Zhentil Keep and the Dales; Luskan and the Lords' Alliance; Thay and, well, everybody. If anything humans, while the most populous, are also the most divided and least like to unite. I think the elves are a great example of how saying other races could never unite is wrong. During the Fall of Myth Drannor the Elves of Cormathyr allied with the Drow, their twenty-thousand year old blood enemies. Now, look at humans, while Cormyr was being overrun by the Devil Dragon and Ghauzneths, all their neightbors though of was annexing Comyrean lands in the choas. Really unified. Simply because humans lack sub-races like other kinds, does not make tehm more unified. |

Well, I am much like lina in this subject, But the diffrence is that modt of my half elves" are half drow mixed with humans as well. My second and only played when I deem the party could need the extra "fire power" is the half demon elves. They can be found within one of the FR monster books along with stats on how to use them as PC's. |

I would think that, to an extent, most of the high operatives, and leaders in the Black Network assume some form of superiority above the common citzenry in the Realms...One need only look at the internal environment and societal hierarchy in Zhentil Keep for an example of that.
The Red Wizards of Thay would probably be the prime example of an organisation with views of superiority over all other races and realms, especially in 2e Realms. However, with the shift in philosophy that the country has undergone, I believe that only the Zulkirs and a few nobles and wealthly merchants still hold this view.
Also, look to the ruling Mulan class, and their attitudes to the Rashemi race...There is a lot between these two cultures that lends to this theory on Thay as well.

So we can understand that there is no race issue among humans.
Some places like Amn people don't like outsiders but I don't think they are looking for some racial features to tell who is Amnian or not. it might be just a national pride or sth like that.
Are there any Aryan claims of any nation or organization representing themselves as a superior race on Toril?

Indeed. In fact their overall weakness to adequately defend themselves could be a result of their general mindset on other races/species in the Realms. The notion Amnians have about not concerning yourself with outsider culture and attitudes could very well have made them unable to formulate effective strategies to repel these monsters, believeing them to be beneath their concern, until it's too late, and the monsters are at the city's very gate.
There have been minor examples of this happening in Amn's ancient past. I'm too tired to find references now, but they are in there...

Ah, I see. Thank you for clarifying, Edain. |

Perhaps I should explain a bit. "Mr. Green", as you so eloquently put it, is me, but as Edain Shadowstar the character, where as "Mr. Blue" is me as me. If you ever see "Mr. Red" I suggest you grba a fire extinguisher and take cover, because that means someone did something really silly, like make me mad.

Well, I suppose that's true too...... |
| The Sage |
Posted - 30 Jan 2004 : 03:30:49
Actually, given the people of Amn's general mindset, I believe that they really don't think of anyone from outside their Realm, very much at all...

Hmm, I'm not sure about colors, but Amnish tend to dislike Waterdhavians, which in turn dislikes Tethyrians..... Well, I could go on for hours, but I doubt many fellow scribes have the time/patience for something like that...... |

It s a bit off topic but I really am not sure about that issue.
I think, to a certain extent, most human cultural groups in the Realms, would look differently at other human cultural groups.
Take Waterdeep and Amn for example. In Waterdeep, the barbarian North, and the associated barbarian (human) tribes are thought to start just outside the city's walls. However, in Amn, the barbarian North is everthing north of Amn's most northerly border. So, you could say that in some cases, a number of human groups look 'down', or even differently, at other human cultural groups.

If you're talking about 'niggas' it's not a swear word. It's slang that blacks (oh, excuse me, "African-Americans") treat as a racial slur when anyone but them says it.
I don't like the term "African-Americans." It's not because I'm a racist -- far from it, since I opin that there's no such thing as "race." The reason that I don't like it is because 1) it applies to anyone from the newest immigrant from Africa to people with skin just a bit more "chocolate-y" than "tanned." I object to that because it's racism in and of itself, continuing the artificial seperation that I find so wrong. And 2), because if there are "African-Americans" and "Korean-Americans" and "Chinese-Americans" then am I a "Scottish/Irish/English/French/German-American"?
So, if there are any "African-Americans" in these halls, here's what I think: I couldn't care less. The only time skin color means anything to me is when someone's got an infectious rash and I need to stay away from him/her. 
Sorry for the rant. I just have strong feelings on this topic . . . |
