Just wondering (races and papers )

Are all races alowd in (forexampel) Waterdeep, and what happens when a golaith ore orck (ore half orck) wants to settle down in waterdeep whitout papers?

Smal villages and other small towns (with walls and without) do they alow strange races to visite there towns ore do they just alow them to travel throug.

In may champaing small towns with lees military force ask adventures and strange races to just travel throug in fear of the unknown and so they could avoide trubel with adventures.


What about races like - half drow - half orck - Goliaths do towns have restrictions fore special races?

Beings of almost all races may be seen in the City, too. A typical Waterdhavian would react with hostility and fear only to a drow, an illithid, an obviously unhuman native of the Lower Planes, and an armed orc (as well, of course, as “monsters” such as beholders and dragons); with all others, it’s generally “business as usual.”

I assume that the tolerance with different people or different customs would grow with the size of the place.

You may compare this with our present. Where nobody would even raise an eyebrow in Berlin seeing some “freak” there may me an agitated call for the police in some villages in the north or south of Germany. There is even an example in the lore for the intolerance in rural areas.
I remember a short story where a goblin was hanged in a small village. I think it was a “Drizzt” story. The creature was abused and Drizzt helped him. Because the dark elf had to journey on the gobo was killed.

So if any exotic creature would like to intermingle with the local folk, it should do it in a metropolis.

I don't recall the name of that particular tale, but it was indeed a Drizzt story. It was in one of the earliest Realms of anthologies, maybe even the first one.
