THERE
ARE FEW
PURE RACIAL
GROUPS
EXTANT ON
the Flanaess, save perhaps at the fringe areas of the
continent. Of course, the races of demi-humans are
relatively unmixed, but humankind, as is its wont,
has industriously intermixed in the central regions to
form a hybrid type which has actually become the
norm.
 

Baklunish

Flannae

Oeridians

Suloise

The predominant racial strain and particular admixtures
of each of the major states of the Flanaess is
given in the list which follows. The first letter is the
predominant strain. Thus, "OSf" would mean an
admixture of Oeridian with a strong Suel strain and a
weak Flan mix, as the "f" is uncapitalized. Had it
been "OSF" (with a capital F), the indication would
be that the Flan influence was only scarecely less than
that of the Suel.

The inmixture of Oeridian and Suel is expressed as
(SO) in the list. The original Flannae stock shows up
with either Oeridian or Suloise or both as a coppery
or bronze overtone. Oeridian and Baklunish develops
a fairly light complexion, but the skin coloration is true
yellow. A hybrid of Baklunish and Flannae gives
a golden-copper or golden-bronze color which is possibly
the most attractive complexion of any of the
admixtures of the basic races.

In general, the skin color of an individual is of no
particular importance. The dark Flan complexion
shows up quite often in most nations. By contrast, the
nobles of the Great Kingdom are proud of being
light-skinned, just as the rulers of Tenh are overly
conscious of the supposed superiority of their deep
bronze color. In the central region of the Flanaess,
from western Urnst to Geoff, there is little
heed paid to either skin color or racial type, whether
human or demi-human (or even humanoid), in some
places). The main exception to this is the demi-human
kingdoms, where humankind is judged inferior,
especially in Celene.
