Low Magic is an option mentioned.I mean specifically all elf? No. Does it tell you that you can pick and choose which races are in the world? Yes.  Yes it does.  page 26 it tells the DM to decide any on restrictions and options, including new or prohibited races.  Prohibited races would be all by elf if the DM wanted to pick that.Meh.  If you read the entire DMG this is not hard to come up with.You seem to be under the misapprehension that the game has to tell the DM about every possible option.  It doesn't.  It just  has to include enough different options to get the DM thinking about his having the ability  to change things.  The 5e DMG does that in spades, so the DM can easily come up with that idea and enact it. All that you listed are things the DM can easily come up with by reading the DMG and getting his creative juices flowing.  There's no need for every possible world build scenario to be presented, and in fact no RPG book ever printed could possibly do so. It would take at least several thousand pages.</blockquote>
