This setting does not lend itself well to some races. Duergar, drow, half-elves, and dragonborn have no homelands. I did not let people play them. I would suggest you tell your players the changes that were made to the race in the 5th edition players handbook. The changes are listed in the race section.

This is how I did it, it is really up to the DM. I am sure most people use these Campaign Setting pages for the setting, not so much for the rules.
