Magicland

Stereotypes

  Behold the wisdom of Aadaya, Professor of Divination Magic as she speaks of people less educated than her.   Marginallanders: It turns out the desolate northwest corner of the continent is actually inhabited, by humans no less. And what’s more amazing is they somehow had someone literate enough to sign the Treaty of the Confederacy!   Musselanders: One thanks the fisherman for his services, but one does not invite him into the banquet hall.   Mooringslanders: The Mooringslanders control the only port to the outside world. We are the only source of wisdom and scholarship on the continent so we must be able to import books from the rest of Scarterra to continue our scholarship. Therefore we must tolerate the avarice and small mindedness of the port’s guild masters.   "Marshlanders": One thanks the kennel master for his service, but one does not invite him into the banquet hall.   Meralanders: It is good that we are neighbors. Their mettle and our magic makes a very potent combination. I rest easier knowing that this alliance is keeping our lands and the rest of the Confederacy safe from our enemies.   Mineralanders: I will hear no words against these stalwart allies. Without their resources they mine, the Confederacy would have little more than sharp sticks to keep our enemies at bay.   Mereshnari: The Mereshnari claim ancient blood and ancient traditions. I dare not gainsay them. They cloak a surprising amount of wisdom underneath their savage exteriors.   Midlanders: One thanks the butcher for his service, but one does not invite him into the banquet hall.   Riverlanders: It is good that we are neighbors. Our wisdom and their industriousness make a potent combination. I rest easier knowing that this alliance is keeping our lands and the rest of the Confederacy well-fed.   Half-Elves:  If you spoken with enough of the dark elves' bastards, you will notice that they all either loathe their elf relations or they loathe themselves. They are objects of pity, but they are not a threat to us. We don't need to make these pour souls' lives any worse than they already are.   Goblins: The free goblin tribes are slightly more detrimental to the dark elves than to us, so do not slay them unless their trespasses grow intolerable.   Kahdisteria: It is galling that these rapacious slavers have far greater libraries than we.   Dabeshi: Beasts and vandals. They make good target practice for our invokers.   Yeti: I’ve long been curious about their strange cultural practices. Perhaps we should send a scholar up north to learn of their ways and chronicle them.
