Netherese

The Netherese, also known as the Neth, were an ethnic group of dark-haired, fair-skinned humans that resided in the ancient magocratic nation of Netheril. Many cultures and ethnic groups in Faerûn were either descendants or absorbed into the Netherese people, such as the Shadovar, the Halruaans, the Bedine, and the Illuskans, among others. Only a few select groups of pure-blood Netherese still existed on Toril as of the 14th century DR, over a thousand years after the fall of the great Empire of Magic.
In Tiriande, a significant minority of Netherese settled after the destruction of their homeland of Valorast. Though Tiriande's human population, primarily Cormyran and Calishite, had undergone significant mixing with the city's elven, halfling and dwarven populations, Valorast was over ninety-five percent human, resulting in Netherese being the most common form of pure-blood human in the city today.
