Ok, heres my theory. Aelotoi represent black people and Erithians represent Asian people. Ok heres my proof,

Aelotoi: Some facts about this race, from the official site.

"They are so fresh from slavery that they are not yet empowered by the ego necessary to have a detailed political structure"...

or

"served as a slave race"

Erithians

"almond-shaped eyes, usually with somewhat vertically 'slitted' rather than completely round pupils"

Also Erithian NPCs got distinctively Asian sounding names.

My two cents

Every race in the history of Earth has been enslaved. Blacks as a whole have neither had nor ever needed a political structure at any time in history. They live in different areas. Freedmen in America never attempted to go outside of the existing system.

If you think those eye characteristics are exclusive to Asians, you know very little about the history of both Africa and the entire world. Your stereotypes suck.

Uh...African's have had political structures for quite some time. They just aren't european in nature.

Not all blacks live in Africa. Blacks don't have their own political structure much like whites don't have one.

Erithians were partially an excuse for Simu to officially release Asian-themed items into the game (katanas, wakizashis, tantos, yumis, etc.), so that explains that.

I'm not touching your aelotoi theory.

Heh. I had the same problem..


Uh...... while I can see the very very obvious Erithi/Asian connection, I fail to see any logic in your comments about Aelotoi.

Let's not forget that asians were for the most part bought and enslaved by the railroaders in the 1800's. So the whole Aelotoi theory isn't exactly correct.

We prefer to call it "railroad Asian worker exchange".

lol, this thread is ridiculous. but they both suck anyway, i mean honestly, can anyone tell me what either of these races are good at, besides one has wings, and the other makes katanas? in any profession, IMHO, they are bested by any elven race.

It isn't all about profession and race, Vontez. Erithians have a pretty tight-knit group of RP'ers going on, so I've heard. It's about enjoyment of the game, not is mechanically suiting. In my opinion.

I fail to see how 'Half-Krovlins' are not considered in the running for 'worst stereotype', considering the history of Racism.

lol, that portrait is awful. my friend who doesn't play GS saw some of the monster pictures and noted that they were some of the worst, cheapest looking drawings of all time. and what are half krolvins? bi racials like tiger woods? Jessica Alba? Biracial people are the wave of the future, the superior race! i for one bow down to our new bi-racial overlords.
