(a human rebellion?)  Are the elves still in control in some areas? (perhaps gathering in the west after 100 years?)What kind of life did the humans have while enslaved? (Did they work with the new technology?)I would think even 100 years after the humans took over the West would still be considered an uncivilized land.  Former slaves in the Elven lands and those who ran wild in the West are not going to get along.  Also, the West is far less likely to even have cities, perhaps something low tech by large.  If the elves have run here, hidden slave camps / towns run by the elves may exist.In the East, former slaver designations may still exist in some form in the human culture.  Humans who knew how to use the new technology (iron-working, trade skills, etc.)  would be among the wealthiest.   I agree with you power would likely be in city-state form (with a wide variety of government styles).  Trade would still be in its infancy, but growing.  Small combat skirmishes between cities might even occur.  I think Feudelism would be just starting.  Shoot, I gotta go.</blockquote>
