Humans
Humans have remained an overwhelming majority — approximately 70% — of Thrane’s population, rooted in humanity’s aggressive colonization that eliminated the goblins inhabitants of the land. Furthermore, Thrane is located far from the demihuman homelands of the Mror Holds, Talenta Plains, and Zilargo.
Thrane did have a more substantial population of Khoravar and elves before the war, but they had primarily settled in western Thrane — in territories that now constitute southern Aundair, such as the famous vineyards of Bluevine outside the city of Ghalt. In short, when discussing the inhabitants and culture of Thrane, humans represent the default unless otherwise noted.
House Cannith had little presence in Thrane before the war, but now the country is a point of contention for the three house branches. Workers in Thrane’s cities are in need of magic that makes their work easier and faster; while Cannith South and East compete to create magical devices, Cannith West seeks to corner the market on alchemical assistance. Performance in Thrane’s markets may be what decides the next Cannith Baron.
House Orien has always been fundamentally Aundairian, with its hometown of Passage far north and west of even the old Thrane-Aundair border, but its operations in Thrane picked up significantly during the rule of King Jarot. The very first Lightning Rail line was between Flamekeep and Fairhaven, although the early days of the war destroyed that connection, and it has since not been rebuilt. Today, Thrane is vital for goods shipping between the north and south of western Khorvaire, with Orien rail cars serving rural areas and collecting foodstuffs to be traded with the cities along Scions Sound.
