The Various Races of Netheril

Tinker:


Halflings; during the first millennium of Netheril’s existence, the Halflings shared Netheril’s cities, but they were left to feel like second-class citizens. The Halflings chose to immerse themselves in the cultures of other human cities and civilizations, vowing to never return as long as a Netherese city floated above the landscape. Elves believed the halflings were smart to avoid Netheril, but at the same time, linked the two races together. They believed the overabundance of magic tainted life in Netheril. Deviations in the human race, the elves believed, created the Halfling. Since the Halflings were viewed as a lower-class citizenry, they were segregated into the lower districts with half-elves. Halflings deny these allegations, and in retrospect, this probably explains why Halflings never had much appreciation for the elven nations.

Tinker:


Half-orcs, born of both human and orc ancestry these creatures were often shunned in both human and orcish society for different reasons, half-orcs have proven themselves from time to time as worthy heroes and dangerous villains. The Netherese people view them as they do any other non-human race, they believe them to be less than human and are treated as such. Most half-orcs had grayish skin, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, a sloping forehead, and coarse body hair, which caused them to stand out from their human brethren, though their canines were noticeably smaller than a full-blooded orc’s tusks. Half-orcs as such appeared bestial to humans, though amongst orcs they were considered human-like physically.
