Portal:People

Peoples of all shapes, sizes, and colors populate this world. In the great cities of the world, like the sprawling metropolis of Vaer--the greatest city of this, or any, age--voices converse in countless different languages, interlocutors clad in dazzling varieties of styles and hues. 
Earlier in history, clear ethnic divisions between groups in geographic locations--especially for Humans--were evident. However, the Draconic Imperium repatriated hundreds of thousands to many locations around the world, with the net effect that these discrete phenotypes were significantly blurred.
== Player Characters ==
The characters controlled by the players, Player Characters (PCs) are the protagonists of every adventure we undertake. Whether heroic or villainous, the PCs' actions—or lack thereof—will never fail to have meaningful consequences.

== The Divines ==
The gods of this setting are known as Divines. The Divines do not interfere directly in mortal affairs, keeping vigilance from the safety of their palaces and realms in the Outer Planes. That is because Divines in this setting, while unspeakably powerful, are nonetheless vulnerable to being slain and their power seized, as happened in the Third Age: the Godfall. Divines regularly field champions and avatars to accomplish their aims rather than doing so directly. Meanwhile, they bestow limited amounts of power to clerics and paladins who serve them (via Channel Divinity).
The Divines are very numerous, for which reason they are typically categorized into several groupings. The greatest divines are the Primordial Divines, each of which holds the soul of the Eldest Primordials. Beneath the Primordials are Greater and Lesser Divines, and underneath are Quasi-Divines and Demigods.
=== Pantheons ===
The matter of Pantheons in this setting is a complex one. All acknowledge the existence of the Divines, even those opposed to them in alignment, or those who dispute their authority and power. That said, many would not worship certain deities under any circumstances: for example, a lawful Paladin who swore an Oath of Devotion would--despite acknowledging her existence--never worship Netfis, the Goddess of Death and Undeath, because she is an indisputably evil figure.
== Languages ==
There are as many languages in this setting as there are fish in the sea. The dedicated page for languages has a list of all these.
