       Selkies are peoples found in the tribes of Chhattisgarh, the
       continent south of Faerun. Selkie origins date back tens of
       thousands of years, to groups of Halflings and Wood-elves which
       had had extensive interbreeding in regions of resource scarcity.
       The Deserts on the Chhattisgarh Continent was the boiling pot
       for these two peoples. It took their combined efforts and skills
       to survive these harsh conditions, and populations of both
       species fell so dangerously low that interbreeding was in many
       cases the only option. The Selkies combine some of the best
       features of both races, making a group that is hardy, vital, and
       highly adaptable. Although the Selkies are very disconnected
       with their ancient fey origins, they still share Elven vitality
       and graceful dexterity.
