[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9349154, member: 6801776"] This is being published as a "Hey here's an example setting thing" in the book that's introducing people to the game for the first time. Its going to be doing an absolutely poor job of that if it goes "Okay remove 50% of the races of the game because they didn't exist before 90% of the people reading this book were born" Plus, well, we are talking, y'know. Greyhawk. Its not like Greyhawk hasn't just spat new things into existence every single time there was a new monster book to sell. This is the setting where, due to someone reading a book, decided there are now Dark Elves who were totally around the whole time and actually there's this big mysterious underground you've never herad about, and despite these being a functioning civilisation no one has ever encountered them before (with all of the grace of an MMO introducing a new expansion zone) [/QUOTE]
