[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8734551, member: 2629"] For my Homebrew, the elves and dwarves were the creation of the Angels that were created by the first Gods. As such, they have roles in history and divinity. Essentially, the first intelligent creatures were Dragons. 15,000 years later we saw Giants created. 6,000 years later we saw the creation of Angels. Then, the Elves and Dwarves are created 500 years later. Gnomes, Halflings, Fey, Aasimar and Tielflings follow 700 years later. Then Orcs and Goblins 1300 years later. Duergar, Drow and Gith spawn about 2000 years later. Following that, there is roughly 1,000 years before the majority of the remaining races are created by the Gods (which was about 3500 years ago). Essentially, Elves and Dwarves took over the Prime and had 500 years to 'conquer' it. Then they saw other races introduced over 5000 years, but they were the two dominant medium humanoids for those 5000 years (really more like 7000 years) before other heritages began to overtake them. In a sense, they built the historical world that is the source of all of the ruins that are explored in adventures. They are the builders of my dungeons. [/QUOTE]
