Good point, though I kind of like James Mishler's take on Thonian ethnicity. "The majority of the Thonian population was of a combined Neathar/Tangor extraction; tall, lean build, olive or dusky skin with long, flowing black or brown hair and black or brown eyes. The northern principalities were populated by Neathar folk, while the southern principalities were Tangor in origin."
Are you planning on giving the Altantians more of an Oltec-style culture? A lot of the Wilderlands is enough of a blank slate that you can do anything you want with them; although the Player's Guide had them worshiping Greek gods, that's easily changed. Supposedly the "pureblood" Altanians get their blood-red skin from outer planar Lords of Chaos, rather than a human ethnicity (Player's Guide, 20), but perhaps that's just a myth and they're really Oltecs.
