I've come upon a rather clueless situation. What physical traits marks someone who is "Halruaan" in lineage?
I have found no such description of their appearance anywhere, other than they are a lineage composed of Netherese immigrants and Lapal natives. Only thing I know of Netherese are commonly known to have pale skin, black hair and light colored eyes, such as blue (and unknown about the Lapal physical features). |

I might be mistaken, but I recall some mention that Halruuans inherited from their Netherese forbears a general prejudice against elves and other demihumans. If this is true, Halruuan-born half-elves (or even humans “tainted“ with demihuman lineage) would likely be quite scarce.
I imagine that Halruuans probably resemble Angardt and Uthgardt barbarians of the North, albeit generally less physically robust and with slightly darker hair/skin tone. |

Maybe I was looking in the wrong place in that book but what page was that on? |

Plus the lapal peoples are a chultiush/Turami derivation (so the folk of Halruaa would look something like the folk along the North African coast - Berbers). |

yeah, bear in mind, when they were in Netheril, they were in a very wintry environment. Where they are now is more like a southern America/central American environment. They'll be more tanned, unless they specifically avoid the sun. |
