There's a community of lizardmen living in the slums of the Erewellian capital. There is also a community of dwarves, decent in size, that lives in the Erewell city. They act as both a diplomatic and trade representation. Erewel has a hobbit community which they love a lot. A portion of them live in Hornwood, but the biggest community is in the village of Honey Hill. The Erewellians love dwarves and like elves, but they dislike goblins and lizardmen and dont trust them at all
