Tarantis has a population estimated to be in the region of 24,000 of which
about 85% are human, 5% are elves, 5% dwarves and the remaining 5% are mostly a mix of
halflings, gnomes, orcs and goblins.
The human population is mainly of Paldorian or Gishmesh descent although about 20% are
from the other human tribes of the Wilderlands including some descended from the local
barbarian raiders, the Karzulan (immediately recognizable by their height).
The non-human population is urbanised and has mostly lost touch with their own racial
traditions. A large proportion have converted to human religions although such efforts to
integrate have
not brought them better fortune as they mostly form a servant or labourer underclass.
In most establishments non-humans are paid less than their human equivalents with elves
and dwarves receiving perhaps 80% of the standard wage and others races 50-70%. One of
the few advantages of being non-human is that the 'honour' of being sacrificed to
Adorak Tau is almost exclusively given to humans.
