But that's in story only. Their actual racial traits have nothing to do with 5e Dwarves.So you'd probably do:AaracokraDwarfElfGithHalf-ElfHalf-GiantHalflingHumanMulThri-KreenWith practically no subrace options. Elves in Athas don't come in "Wood" and "Dark" flavors, after all.And then a "Wasteland Mutant" entry. This entry would give DMs advice to introduce other playable races that players desperately want to play into the setting in a way that is both cogent and fits the setting narrative. You wanna play a Tabaxi, this is how you do it. Same for Tiefling or Half-Orc. With an inset reminder that Wasteland Mutants are, not -exactly- but essentially, unique. If you play a Tiefling in Dark Sun as a Wasteland Mutant don't feel bound by the Tiefling race description in your character's appearance, but also don't expect to ever see another person like you and you'll most likely face a stigma because of it.'Cause while you have the Tiefling Stat block you're actually a mutant human/elf/dwarf/half-giant/halfling/whatever.And then you can do the Subraces as a Wasteland Mutant option for the different races. Dark Elves are just Desert-Elves who got too friendly with magical fallout while they were kids.But also have that Wasteland Mutant Entry flatly say "This should not be a general practice for Dark Sun games, but only an option for players who feel they need a specific set of racial bonuses to fulfill their character idea/class features. You should try to limit yourself, as a player, to the standard races for the setting to maximize the Athasian feel."</blockquote>
