[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6114832, member: 89838"] It is more of speciesism. In my world, the Eladrin rule. Always have done. They found this fragment of the prime material plane and claimed it. While drunk at a party on another plane, someone let the location slip in mixed company, so Gnomes and other fey found their way it. Then someone blurted it out to a dragon (in an attempt (failed) to not be eaten), and they showed up. The Dwarves seem to have tunneled in from somewhere. Over time, on this plane, some of the Eladrin (or their descendants) found themselves unable to teleport, but better at skills and hunting. Thus they became elves. Devils found the plane by accident, and brought human slaves with them. And bred with them (disgusting) to create tieflings. But the humans, with much training, were decent pets and could be trained to be servants, so the Eladrin actually began copying Devil social habits. Then, much to their utter horror and disgust, some of the more decadent Eladrin and elves discovered that it was possible to breed with humans. The only thing lower than a human is a half-elf. The only thing lower than a half elf is the Elven parent. The only thing lower than that... Which brings us to an incident that occurred about 800 years ago, when an Eladrin lord imported 100 goblins into his game forest and gave them 20 years alone, so that for his next anniversary, he and his guests could have a jolly wonderful time hunting, with prizes for whoever bagged the most. Well, the goblins got loose, and bred with everything they could, and created their own bizarre cross/sub-species. Worst of all, it wasn't that good an anniversary party. But the Eladrin still claim supreme rulership, and regard the Dwarven kingdoms and the Draconic Empires with distain. [/QUOTE]
