I'm curious about the ecology of Avistan compared to Garund (and beyond). Certainly, Garund is more jungles and deserts, and Avistan is cooler plains and forests, but I'm wondering more past that.
Humans have pretty well colonized the globe. How about halflings? Are they everywhere, too? Gnomes? How much rarer are dwarves and elves in Garund compared to Avistan?
Orcs seem to be more of an Avistani (Avistanian?) race (ultimately, they were just underground but since the dwarves finished the Quest for Sky in Avistan, that's where the largest number of orcs were pushed out). Gnolls appear to be only in Garund.
What other creatures are mostly only in one continent or the other?

There are two dwarf tribes in Garund (M'beke and Taralu) - as well as a population in Osirion and a nomad population in the desert. Halflings dwell in Osirion and that is where they are first mentioned in history, actually. There are Elves in the Mwangi Expanse.
As far as I'm aware the only humanoids specifically mentioned as living in or near Casmaron are Humans, Dwarves (in the World's Edge Mountains of Taldor and mountains of Brevoy), Orcs, hence Half-orcs (in Iobaria), and Half-elves (the latter in Vudra, though only in the original Campaign Setting). I can't find any references to Gnomes, Elves, or Halflings.
