I suppose that I chose it because of the environment type; fields and farmland right? It just seemed like the kind of location that would suit the character - wide open fields and empty spaces. Do you think it works for that purpose, and if not then do you think any other areas would work better? I do like the idea of a melting pot though... :) The last name doesn't matter much - it was a spur of the moment thing. I'm open to changing it to fit a more suitable race, if you have any ideas for one.

I've updated the OP with cultural cores for the regional races, if it helps any. =)

There's farmland anywhere you go; but given Ari is dominated by wind elementals there is a LOT of argiculture and soft rolling hills. It's definitely a big breadbasket sort of place. I always envisioned the big breadbaskets being Rabari/Salasi/Khani (in Ari), Fenris/Kitsuia (in Teriv), Suvakia/Srivak (in Rylos), and Melshir/Aeria (in Sapari).
