Speaking of elves though, The Giants of Xendriik were taught magic by The Dragons after the Couatl sacrificed themselves to bind the demon overlords.    The resulting empire lasted about 30,000 years,  10,000 of those were the giants fighting off an invasion from the quori/plane of dreams.  The giants were so advanced thanks to what The Dragons taught them about magic that their desperate solution was to use blood magic to destroy a moon to fuel the magic shifting the orbit of the entire plane of dreams.  Oh yea... Back to elves, somewhere along the line the giants forcibly magebred elves into a slave race out of captured fey & were implied to have created the original creation forges Cannith later found & reverse engineered the on button to build warforge.    How does this all tie into Dragons you might ask?... Simple!   After ending the invasion by moving a plane's orbit using magics taught by the Dragons, the Dragons were horrified and went to war.  At this point, the giants were unquestionably far beyond any mere forest dwelling tribe of hippy elves & the Dragons destroyed not only the entire empire but also cursed the whole continent to ensure nobody would put the pieces back together again.Sure the dragons of FR & Greyhawk ar powerful individuals, but the Dragons of eberron are so far beyond that that the comparison is much like comparing the vulcans to the vorlons... One is scientifically advanced & in many ways physically/mentally better than you but probably has an answer to your puzzle, the other is so far beyond you that you don't want them solving your warMetaphorically in one setting <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZp7eBStN1U" target="_blank">this</a> is her role, in another setting her role is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJVuqYkI2jQ" target="_blank">this</a> (doesn't matter which is which).  As we've seen through this thread where people have trouble grasping how eberron could function if the gods were not real tangible involved facts like in FR & Greyhawk, the confusion becomes problematic in ways that encourage destructive cross pollination.  The overlord in question is the evil & green in anyone's heart, Dragons just have the special place of being the only ones with enough power to really concern themselves with that</blockquote>
