What would Faerūnians refer to people from Kata-Tur as, as a group?

"Kara-Turians" sounds awkward. Has their ever been an official answer on this?

"Easterners".

Do they have a less vague term?

Why not just shorten it to "Turians" then?:smallwink:

I use Turan for singular/specific and Turani for plural/general. Turian feels off, somehow...

The race of humans from the east are known as the Shou. The term "Shou" is used to describe somebody from the large country of Shou Lung, often times it is used for others from Kara-Tur (such as T'u Lung, Wa and Kozakura).

If I recall from Baldur's Gate, at one point they were referred to as "Kara-Turi."

I'm leaning towards "dirty foreigners" or "filthy barbarians".

The adjective "Kara-Turan" is used in FRCS, so I assume that you would apply that to the people too - similar to how "French" and "British" are both adjectives for the country and collective nouns for the people that live there.
