Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
The Bearfolk and Turtlefolk have very good relations due to them being the 'weakest' races that lived in Drucorra since their existence. The Elvish Dragons and them have good relations also, they have a strong trade pact. The Særs and Draconics are dislike by the Bearfolk due to them 'colonizing' the territory and taking over the north. They have mixed fellings of the Nirmirian people due to them just meeting the rest of the races.
