Demographics

Due to House Spikewren's highly inverted view of the world, one would mostly find orcs, half-orcs, kobolds, hobgoblins, goblins and gnomes in Fromgaard. Humans are looked down upon as weak and envied for their intelligence. The rivalry and hatred of House Grattanion and House Borefear reinforces this. Elves and dwarves are seen as inferior beings. Because of its social structure, Fromgaard has one of the most fair distributions of wealth in all of Greedpeaks. Although there are some very rich and some very poor in Fromgaard, there is a large middle class, all capable of living comfortably within their means due to the numerous work schemes enacted by the local governments.
