Forgotten Kingdoms is made up of the following races; dwarves, elves,
orcs, half-elven, human, gnome, and halfling. There are particular
characteristics that must be followed during RP in order to correctly portray
a member of each of these races. This is not to say that each individual will
vary from player to player. However, because we are attempting to recreate the
Forgotten Realms environment these restrictions apply unless you are given
special dispensation by the administrators.
The following general information can be found in Cyclopedia of the Realms, by Ed
Greenwood, Jeff Grubb, and Karen S. Boomgarden. Published by TSR, Inc 1987.

All of this said about the races, it is natural that there be exceptions to
these descriptions. However, in making those variations it is important to keep
in mind the environment we are trying to develop and the necessity in keeping
with general FR rules and characters. All of these will allow for meaningful RP.
Particularly when you add class to the mix.
