If they were already distinctly different before, then the idea that they were really living peacefully ever can be called into question or they wouldn't have broken so cleanly along these lines.However, if they were one people originally and then they mutated and became different after the war, it makes a lot more sense. Break it down between the Rebels (Drow), the Loyalists (Gray) and those who fled the war all together disgusted with both sides (Wood). Further breaking them down in alignment between Chaotic Evil, Lawful Neutral and Chaotic Good respectively would help give further reasoning to why they wouldn't mix.You might want to throw in some sort of line about Elves mystically adapting to their environment over many, many years spent within it. This would help explain why their changes are so drastic despite the fact that no many generations could have passed.It looks like your history of Goblins is that they are a race as old as Elves, but when Elves ruled the world, many were captured or conquered and became servants of the elven peoples-- particularly the loyalists. When the Wood Elves abandoned them, the Gray Elves empowered their favored Goblins into become a legion to fight the Drow. So then the Goblins are aligned with the Gray Elves? Like, a Gray Elf-led party is most likely to have a Hobgoblin and a few Goblins than a Wood Elf or Dwarf? If so, it is something to consider that there aren't any official stats for those things.You mention Dog people in your description of Wood Elves, but have also mentioned Gnolls. I would suggest you make them the same thing because the two things are likely going to be way too similar. I don't know if that means getting rid of the dog people and just having the Wood Elves make Gnolls, or just get rid of Gnolls and replace them with your dog people. Either way having two forest-dwelling furry folks with canine-ish heads is one too many even if their alignments are different.I also notice that while you mentioned Orcs and Humans, you haven't given very many details on how they fit into all this-- it is all pretty focused on the Elves. In fact... I can't even see right now any reason for humans to necessarily exist in this world. Aside from a couple mentions, it all almost works better if there are no humans there.</blockquote>
