Are there any human ethnicities in #Eberron? Like significant differences in appearance or physiological traits? The question came up in a game I’m in, can you tell someone is Karrnathi (for example) on sight? So, Khorvaire was colonized from people from different parts of Sarlona, a continent with unnaturally diverse and intense environments. Galifar was a cosmopolitan society with a lot of interaction between nations; officers from all nations trained at Rekkenmark.

With this in mind, the people of Khorvaire are physically diverse. Jaela Daran is described as having dark skin; Cardinal Krozen is pale; both are Thranes. Add to this the fact that when I talk about “Thranes,” I’m also talking about elves, Khoravar, dwarves, tieflings, etc. So yes, generally people of the Five Nations can look at someone and say "She's a Thrane," but that's not based on the color of their hair or skin; it's based on their clothing, their demeanor, their accent, their mannerisms. These apply equally to Thrane humans and Thrane elves.
