Races
Ataland is home to all the character races in the SRD: Dragonborn, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Human and Tiefling. Additionally, players may play as Otterfolk as detailed later in this chapter.
The Ataland a melting pot of race and culture. It is densely packed with settlements of all races, all of which trade and cooperate with their neighbours. Immigration and mixed races families are common.
Beyond the SRD: Races from other sources
With discussion with the Game Master, you can choose races or subraces from another compatible source books. Examples include Dungeons & Dragons Volo's Guide to Monsters. (ISBN: 978-0786966011) and Hit Point Press Humblewood RPG (ISBN: 978-1-9990962-0-5). These characters may have travelled to Ataland across the great ocean, from the unknown world beyond the borders of the map. Or they may have travelled here from another world entirely.
Or, you could even replace race entirely using the An Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby supplement.
