Please introduce new ethnic / subculture for some important races

[IceKid]

Hi,

I hope the future materials will introduce new ethnic/subcultures (not ancestries) for the following:

1) Grondaksen and Holtaksen Dwarves
2) Vudran/Valashmai Lizardfolk
3) Minotaurs, Centaurs, Merfolk, Kholo, and Hobgoblins
4) Bloodlines for each vampire type

Also, please introduce the Tian ethnic group(s) of elves, dwarves, orcs, ysobi, and hobgoblins

This thread probably should be moved to the "Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion"; I've flagged for a mod to do so.

I think as far as the Tian groups go, my impression is that elves, dwarves, and orcs are just not at all common in Tian Xia; it'd be like a samsaran being in the Inner Sea region. Possible, but rare enough that they're more likely to be a lone individual or handful of individuals embedded in a larger community rather than having their own substantially sized ancestry-based subculture in the region. Ysoki and hobgoblins do have a significant presence in Tian Xia though.

As a quick correction to this, elves do have a nation in Tian Xia (Jinin), as noted in the Lost Omens book about the continent. They’re also as far as I recall listed as a group that lives in Tian Xia in the character guide book in the section called ‘Peoples’. They are stated as being an unusual sight outside of Jinin at the present moment though. (A quick search says that they’re noted as living in Goka, Jinin, Kaoling, and Linvarre. Linvarre is specifically because of bordering Jinin though. Songbai also mentions elf residents but doesn’t list them on the ‘peoples’ section for the nation, make of that what you will.)

Oh, neat! TIL.
