| I'm not sure if the Bladelings count as Planetouched... If they are really a stable-breeding Tiefling line, yes, but I don't think it's ever been verified for sure. |

Well, the people at Planewalker call them planetouched, so I guess they count.
My second choice would be Fey'Ri. Can't beat evil, planar, elves. |

| I wish I could remember thier name right now, but the planetouched race in Underdark strikes a cord with me for some odd reason. So I had to vote "other". |

I think "Those creatures in the underdark book, with wings and the name starts with 'G'"
Thats about all it takes me to mix those names up.
The Gloura
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20031003e
As you can see, no resemblence between the two really.
It's the "G" in the name, that letter gets me every time ;) |

| Gloura...That sounds oddly and disturbingly familiar...Oh well. Tieflings are kinda neat...My Planetouched enducation is sadly neglected, though, so this could change. |

| Not sure if a Stonechild counts, but it's got my vote. Although I guess that the Urdunnir don't count, it seems like they are very similar to Stonechildren. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

| I voted air genasi |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

My personal favorite are aasimar, but I am going through a fey'ri phase right now. I am also a huge fan of tanarukk because of Hellgate Keep.
Question... why didn't Sarya seek out the tanarukks to assist in her attacks on Evereska and the rest? It isn't like she wasn't aware of their existance. After all, they were bred to assist the demons of Hellgate Keep, weren't they? It would have made sense to me, but I am sure that Mr. Baker had his reasons. |

Fey'ri act like regular elves, to a certain extent. Why would elves ally with orcspawn? |

...
Because they were written that way?
Ok, you got me. Truthfully, I never really thought about them being orcs. I saw them as being... cool. Actually, come to think of it, didn't Sarya use the savage races like orcs, goblins, ogres and the like when she attacked Evereska? It has been a while since I read the first book and can not fully remember. |

Elves and orcs are traditional enemies. Demonic heritage aside, their racial rivalries should prevent any kind of working together... Flip the question around: would the tanarukk work with elfspawn? |

Not "work with". I meant that one party (most likely the fey'ri) could force the other to work FOR them. Like Penknight said, in that...trilogy, Sarya forces orcs to work for her. |

Thank you, my lady.
*gives courteous bow*
That is what I couldn't understand. I mean, she used the drow, didn't she? And no drow would work with a drow under normal circumstances. Why not use the tanarukk as servants and front-liners? |

It has to be the fey'ri.
I'm currently trying to coincide an aasimar / half-elf / fey'ri family 'moment' (not all PCs) without it looking like railroading (I'm patient and am prepared to let it pass - but it would be a shame) |

| I prefer tieflings. I always had a sympathy with anti-heroes and there cursed heritage makes them so cool. But most of the time, I like to play with standard races. |
