[The Philosopher]

It's a necessary change, I'd say. It indeed made little sense that superiors would allow elves or half-elves - beings who are more feared, and thus despised, than tieflings are in Thay - access to higher ranks like that.

But I do have to ask; indeed it is that Thay considers humans to be the superior race (and Mulani the superior ethnicity), but in all my reading of the Lore, it's stated that what matters most for a Thayan, in the case of half-breeds like half-elves, half-orcs and the mostly-human beings like tieflings, aasimar, genasi and so on, is the human heritage. For instance, if a half-elf or half-orc is of Mulan heritage, they suffer little prejudice, so much so it's even stated there are few lands as good for a half-orc to live in as Thay. Same is applicable to tieflings, who are a far sight more common than half-elves and elves in Thay and who do not have the same social stigma of having fiendish ancestors that they have elsewhere, especially since they are hardly half-breeds to begin with and are very often the children of Red Wizards.

Will these aspects of Thayan society be held into account by the team, moving forward?
