Editing Greyhawk (section)

===Humans===
Flanaess has six races of humanity:
*The green-eyed Baklunish, who used to have a big empire before the Invoked Destruction ([[Squats|which no one alive remembers the form of]]) but have retained the rest of their culture.  Basically Arabic type culture, including having the same naming conventions and similar social mores.
*The nomadic nature-loving Flan, Flanaess's first human settlers.  They don't get mentioned a lot, but they apparently could do some impressive magical stuff in ancient times.  How impressive?  They basically are the ones who created druid magic as it is understood in the setting, and an evil offshoot of the race, the Ur-Flan, were some of the most dreaded and powerful necromancers of ancient times (Vecna was an Ur-Flan in life, if that gives any indication).  Their people are mostly mixing in with the Oeridians, but there's still a few old holdouts of pure Flan here and there.  In culinary terms, the Flan are best served drizzled with <i>dulce de leche</i> and the Ur-Flan are their rich, chocolate-y counterparts.
*The warlike Oeridians, who <s>have</s> had an <s>empire</s> fuckhuge kingdom that covered a lot of the eastern Flanaess. They'd migrated eastward from that vale now called Ull and run by some of the eviler Bakluni, setting up their (later) empire in the map we got. Unlike the Suloise and Baklunish, however, instead of deciding to fuck up some other race of people, they decided to fuck themselves up and their huge kingdom splintered in all kinds of little nation-states.  Some of them kept terms like "county" and "duchy", others gave a middle finger or two and called themselves a kingdom outright. 3e strongly implies that some remnant Oerids survive in Ull but nobody cares.
*The barbaric, jungle-dwelling Olman, who lost their empire to internal strife.  The Suloise came up and enslaved a lot of them to work on plantations in southern Flanaess, surprising exactly nobody who know what racist dicks the Suloise generally are.
*The foreign Rhennee, short sailors who come from Rhop, either another continent or another plane and ply Flanaess's riverways.  They're basically Gypsies, just on rivers instead of land, and have all the good and bad about that IRL ethnic group (both in terms of reputation and in terms of actual behavior).
*And the fair-skinned Suloise, whose [[Suel Imperium|wicked empire]] was destroyed in the [[Rain of Colorless Fire]] (a mutual kill with the Baklunish empire above, actually, called the Twin Cataclysms - there was [[Team Yankee|a Cold War]] on at the time they wrote all this).  The Suloise are basically the Nordic/German types in the setting, including the racist baggage that that connotation comes with.  They have a not-so-secret society known as the [[Scarlet Brotherhood]] devoted to the idea that since the Suloise were once an empire who totally didn't fuck shit up being arrogant pricks, this is the perfect justification to ensure the purity and superiority of their race.  And how do they do that?  By doing everything they can to assassinate, brainwash, extort, or just plain trick their way into toppling entire nations, enslaving practically every living sapient being who isn't Suloise (including other humans like the Olman and Tuov), and otherwise giving the very few Suloise who are halfway decent a really shitty name.  Even the barbarian Suloise in northern Flanaess are dicks who raid and shit on everyone around them, including one another. (Note that they basically were the first ones to fire off the Twin Cataclysms; the Invoked Devastation came first, made by the Suloise.) There are a lot of decent Suloise elsewhere, but they get the side-eye every time the Brotherhood appears.  You can never be too sure...

These humans all have their own languages, though Suloise is basically extinct. Flan is the oldest, and shares roots with Druidic. Common in Greyhawk is a widely popular fusion of ancient Baklunish and Oeridian. This is without going into the specific dialects, like Cold Tongue, a version of Suloise spoken by frost barbarians.

There are, naturally, other human subgroups based on Asian and other ethnic groups, but they never really get talked about.
