>Taken from another thread...

>In the Forgotten Realms, the setting which AD&D used as its flagship, two of the five major Elven subraces were brown
>Sun Elves, the most magically powerful of the elves were known as Bronze or Brown skinned with light or golden hair
>Wild Elves, also known as wood elves, tended to have brown skin with flecks of green or green areas near the extremities, they were physically tougher than other elve subraces

>However due to TSR being afraid of marketing anything that wasn't a Strong White Male, we rarely saw characters that were not.

>So is it safe to say terrible marketing and dare I say, a fear of inclusion, led to the fact that most people don't know the biggest D&D setting had brown elves since the 80s?
With artists and most writers told to ignore that shit, it make sense why there's no recognition.

>It gets even worse when you look into some of the religions of the Realms, few people could tell you that one of the most famous Sun Bros is a brown skinned girl whose family was from the jungles of Chult.

While I thought this was bullshit at first, I checked the wiki and saw the attached image.

How the fuck do they spend so many years just fucking it up?
