Ehh... a bit bland and kinda unrealistic, but let's be honest, it takes a certain kind of autist to really get rustled by that, let alone the kind of autistic it takes to make their own. I'll just give points for not having the obligatory Graeco-Roman expy.

All of them are Barsoomians. Green, red, black, white, and yellow. And they all lay eggs. At the end of A Princess of Mars Carthoris' egg is about to hatch.

>>51952612
In theory, I can see somebody deciding the tldr version of drow is 'goth elves'. That actually sounds infinitely better than actual drow.
It'd still be inaccurate to say that it's what you'd end up with if you had Egyptian Elves, but I can see how somebody would get there.

I'm currently trying to build a quick something for a campaign, with middle eastern inspirations. So far I have :

>Pseudo Babylonian human kingdom
>Pseudo Egyptian kingdom, ruled by a species of giant beast men similar to the actual Egyptian pantheon
>Gnoll African tribes in the south

Suggestions for more nations, or how to integrate more "traditionnal fantasy race archetypes" to the setting? I'd like my players to have access to at least the core races.

>>51962164
Also, thinking of having Dwarves be jewish-inspired nomads. Travelling in caravans from city to city, earning a living with trade and crafts, with a strong sense of tradition. Have to think about it.

If by 'leave' you mean 'get fucking btfo like the savage barbarians you are' then yes

>>51952571
The multiple races thing is a plague of fantasy. Shoulda just kept it all human and let Dwarfs and Elves remain weird and special like the magical creatures they are.

High Fantasy was a Mistake.

>>51965338
no, actually the Nubians spent 2 years in egypt took the Egyptian treasury and left.

the Egyptians thought they were going to come back and they made sure to have the palace refurnished, but they never came back.

there was no battle, and the egyptians didnt even get a chance to revolt.

no but they go to the same churches

>>51965385
Does anybody know why they left?

>>51965820
the theory is that their leader was really superstitious and saw some poor omen, or maybe he just hated egypt and wanted to go home

what is known is that he never bothered to learn egyptian, and didnt do much while he was there.

It's a 2nd century AD Roman sculpture of a Greek (Bithynian) man, Antinous, who was Hadrian's boy lover. He was deified after his untimely death at 19, and was often depicted as Orisis in art.

No, the one in the OP is from the Papal collection in Vatican. But there are over a hundred surviving statues of him, as Hadrian promoted the cult throught the empire by funding the construction of temples of Antinous, and even built a private shrine near his villa where he gathered masterwork statues of his ex-lover. The one in Chicago doesn't have any Osiris symbolism.

Mate Turks migrated to Anatolia, and before that everybody living there was Greek. It was just Eastern Hellas

Also Pashto are technically an ethnic mix of Iraniabs, Turks, and Panjabis.

My nigga. I also use them for Moors.
They're actually mostly human with an "orcish" rulling class. "Orcs" being the mixed progeny of humans with varying levels of djinn and efreet heritage.

Orc is a derogatory term. They generally prefer desert blooded.
