[QUOTE="SpiralBound, post: 9726222, member: 8396"] It might be interesting to have a setting where Human reproduction levels tend to decrease in higher background levels of magic and increase the less ambient magic there is. Meanwhile, the reverse is true for Elves and Dwarves... This would create an inherent tension and conflict between the races without either one of them needing to be actively evil towards each other. It would also explain why Human spellcasters, many of whom tend to live much longer than their non magic-wielding human neighbours, don't end up with massive clans of spell chucking descendants. It would also help explain why there tend to be racially dominant lands. Obviously, in the Human lands the Elves and Dwarves would see their populations grow more slowly, while Humans would naturally not be a prominent in the Elven or Dwarven lands. This could also set up conflicts should one group expand into the lands of another as if the newcomers gain a foothold their mere presence and lifestyles could become long term damaging to the local populations.
