What would you like in the "perfect medieval setting"?
Not too large (Europe or US size is enough for the known world), and well detailed. Also, a setting that at first sight isn't filled with too many weird races and magical stuff at every corner. I prefer a world that looks more mundane, maybe looks low-magic, like Harn for example. Only a couple of really extraordinary thing like a Dragonrider Knights Order for example. But then, there must be possibilit to add weird stuf in, by the individual GM.
As for races: I am tired of elves, dwarves, halflings, etc., and moreso by all the other more recent stuff such as half-dragons and psionic races. Now, I would like a world with only humans, as the main race. Then, there would be two or three other secretive races mixed among them, that would be indistinguishable from humns at first sight. Let's say:
1) As in some R. Howard's stories: a few members of a most ancient ophidian race (snake people) who disguise themselves as humans through the use of magic.
2) Humans who have been touched by the supernatural at birth. They have special traits, but also are watched over by supernatural entities, etc.
3) Humans born from members of a cult/cabal/conspiracy who strives to create a different (and of course "better") humanity through alchemy and fantasy genetic engineering.
4) Humans who, at some point in their lives, begin to mutate into something else, such as beastmen or half-dragons, whatever, hafter having been touched by some totem power.
