Does anyone know where I can find informations regarding the races and classes that one would be expected to run across on this continent?

Since Abeir was appreantly ruled over by dragons and primordials i would imagine there would be large populations of Genasi and Dragonborn. I believe there was an article on the Windrise ports in Dragon magazine, and theyve recently did a two parter on Airspur in AkanÛl, which was also part of Abeir so that might have some usefull information as well for you.

We currently game in Eskorn, and I agree that there is not much to work with besides the Map. I ended up creating most of the campaign from scratch, cities, power groups, storylines, and I would have prefered using canon lore to introduce Abeir to my players but now it is too late, for years to come they will always remember Abeir as I presented it to them, homebrewed, not as presented in the FRCG. I am curious to know how people have been using Abeir in their campaigns? What modifications have you made? Cheers.

I'm currently only considering these as being native to Returned Abeir: Common races: Humans, Dragonborn, Genasi Less common races: Dwarves, Halfling, Orcs, Revenants?(from Nornglast) Player wanting other races have to make up a good story/background. I've also made custom Backgrounds for each province of the continent. The rest of the campaign leans heavily towards homebrew.
