I'll get them tied together with some fluff, probably in a few days. That, and tweak/fix some things. I'm blaming the naming convention on the dwarves. They're the ones who keep conquring and renaming things...
Elves in Phaetos have the ethnicities of Alfari (lawful, sort of sun elf), Telfari (chaotic, sort of moon elf), and Drow (which may need a -fari designation). Alfari and Telfari are mechanically the same right now, although I am considering a possible (optional) alternative racial traits. Dunfari could work as a -fari title for the groundlings.
Oh, what if groundlings were a type of half-elf that bred true and developed their own unique abilities (burrow/earthglide)? That side-steps having an over abundance of "true" elves (Phaetos isn't forgotten realms, with 20+ different elfin races).
On the burrow note, I can't find a description of burrow in bestiary glossery or core glossery. Going by burrow in the original SRD (according to d20srd.org, which is what d20pfsrd uses), burrow has it's own description on a per-monster/creature basis. Being able to phase through stone (per earthglide) is something I want to avoid (dungeoneering issues - this would be a real hassle for DMs if a PC had it, especially at lower levels).
I'll have to mull it over a little on whether or not an alternative elf/halfelf racial trait for groundlings would be better or not. Either way, groundlings are getting an iconic character.
