That's interesting. It seems consistent across all of the Earths that people have been talking about here too, even if everyone has different terminology for it.

If I were to take them at face value, which I don't, my concern is that non-human worlds would be deprioritized over the human ones. And that if we look at our population, that whoever's in charge here will want to prioritize those worlds too. Even if people are generally kind, it doesn't mean that they'll still treat you equally. It's not as though Goblins are particularly well-liked, even where I'm from.

But I guess the emotional answer is, it's just weird. Where I'm from, there are all sorts of races. Humans, Elves, Orcs, Tieflings, Kobolds, Dragonborn, Gnomes, Aarakocra. Coming to a place that's almost only Humans just came as kind of a shock.
