So all the iron under the trees would be useless for elves. And Mithril is so much more common than iron that elves would have no problem to use that instead of iron? Right....But I see the problem. You simply invent things to justify the elven culture like that in D&D gemstones are common in forests and still valuable. But when you do not invent things left and right with a "its fantasy" justification the elven society does not work.And even if you do, you fail to think it through. SO gemstones are common? Then they are worthless and not useable as trade good. And you are back at the root of the problem: Elves have not enough goods to trade away.</blockquote>
