I have a niche defined for every race except elves. Halflings are forest trappers and fruit growers; mountain dwarves are ambush hunter-gatherers; orcs are steppe hyper-carnivores abush hunters ; humans are endurance hunter-gatherers; lizardfolk are noctural nomadic desert dwellers; and goblins are r-selected burrowing mammals. But I don't have an idea for the elves' niche. What ecological niche did you find for them?

I’ve read the manga and the world guide, but I don't quite get the hype. Don't get me wrong—I absolutely love slender, magical, long-lived elves and stocky, strong dwarves, I love the story, characters, mobster ecology, everything. However, communities like r/worldbuilding and r/fantasy constantly say they’re sick of elves and dwarves and prefer it when they’re ugly, evil, or monstrous. I sometimes struggle with media analysis myself, even when I try hard. So, why is the world-building regarding elves, gnomes, dwarves, and half-foots praised so much? English is not my native language so I think I maybe didn't get the details right.I get some dialog from trabslation or context so meybe there's the problem. Please be nice. Don't bully me.

I get the feeling that r/fantasy, and r/worldbuilding don't really like standard elves. Where can I find communities that do? BTW I never played any rpg or tabletop rpg and I feel unsafe in the elder scrolls subreddit so I don't know where to look . Sorry for my english, it's not my native language. EDIT: I don't like most isekai. But keybe there's something worth looking for. . But most is power fantasy that makes me feel wrong

The census for the Grand Duchy of Dorning lists a thousand elves, yet the census for House Hirsh-Dammung cites 5,000 elves, and House Aldoys-Donner lists 2,000. So, what is the total number of elves in Dorning and the River Court of Arbonesse combined?

Zbam wiedźmin ake jest on dka mnie za mroczny. Słyszałem o "Promyk ktury zgasił Świeczkę" Ucieczka Wiktiria Czyżyczka ake ma ona średnie recenzje( średnio 6/10) Smoczy szlak-Leszek Bigos ale ta też ma słabe recenzje i Iskra Kamilia Goszczyńska ale mi mówiono że ludzie tak próbuje eksterminować elfy. I znam legendy świata wynużonego ake je sobie zaspoilerowałem przez przypadek Więc nie wiem czy jak ktoś to czytał to mógłby mi powiedzieć czy są one warte przeczytania? Xzy polecilibyście mi coś innego? Chcualbym żeby elf był/a jednym/ą z protagonistów/ek i przynajmniej jednen inny bedzię antagonistą choćby pomniejszym. Jakieś propozycję? edyt: zbyt mroczny w znaczeniu ze kudzuę są ludobójczy do ras nie ludzkich

Two articles I read stated that, even under the best conditions, they wouldn't have lived to be 65. Is that true? Or was it more a result of their lifestyle and they could live 70-100+?

I'm planning to create my own setting, but I don't know how to fit in my favorite races( especially elves dwarves haflings orcs goblinoids goliaths dragonborrn gnomes) . How did you find a place for them?

I feel like creating such a world is impossible for me, but I know others have certainly managed to do it. Do you have worlds like that? By "core races," I mean things like elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings etc. I'm most interested at 1790s-1900s tech level. But will not be picky

I really like those elves, but I can't seem to find a spot for them. How did you fit them in?

To be honest, I've lost track of the lore lately. What is the origin of each race? I know orcs were created by ducaniel feom mixing dna of elves ogres goblins, gnomes descend from haflings, lizardfolk are from other planet, ogres cyclops firbolg and trolls were made by giants, haimari were uplifted by day of ashen skies merfolk are ruinborn . What are origins of elves dwarves goblins hobgoblins haflings humans giants dragons fey djinn/genie harpies centaurs gnolls minotaurs deep devils ?

I’ve often been told dozens of times on r/fantasy and r/worldbuilding and that if fantasy races are essentially just "long-lived humans" or "warlike green humans," you’re better off just using humans. What is your opinion on the more "human-like" non-humans in Anbennar? From lore perspective only

I still want to check in there sometimes, but I feel the place can be too biased, and some people there don't like me. Where else can I go for advice? I know there are plenty of worldbuilders using standard races, but their posts often get few views or don't get posted there very often. I’m still grateful to everyone who has supported me there, though. EDIT: by standard races I mean elves dwarves orcs goblibs haflings gnomes giants sapuent dragons harpies ogres demons beastfolk ranging from humanoid aninal to just having aninal tail and ears minotaurs centaurs etc

By "fantasy kitchen sink," I mean throwing in whatever you want, provided it makes sense within the universe—robots, elves, aliens, dinosaurs, cosmic horror, dragons, megafauna, and so on. What do you have in yours? And, by the way, do you have any tips on how to create such a setting?

I wiukd like to ask for timeline of each region( sarhal, haless, aelantir, serpentspine, cannor, preferably with also timeline of dwarf lizardfolk. I know I asked it before but I got new phone and couldn't find some data. I kniw timeline is on wiki but is lacking . I'm sorry if I made somebody upset by my comment. Sorry for my inperfect english. Thank you for reading this

I have an idea inspired by *The Dagger and the Coin*: standard fantasy races were created for specific roles by a fallen empire. Their original roles were: High Elves for administration, Dark Elves as assassins, Dwarves as miners and craftsmen, Giants for manual labor, Orcs as gladiators and heavy infantry, and Halflings as servants. How do I present this without appearing to support eugenics (since I don't)? I’ve considered incorporating biological flaws, generational trauma, and the impact on their daily lives, but I’m worried that might not be enough. What else should I do?

I’ve noticed that most (though not all) races in *Pillars of Eternity*, *Final Fantasy XIV*, *Age of Fire*, *Game of Thrones*, *Suikoden*, and *Coffee Talk* don’t have a clear origin story. Sometimes it’s vague—like how they emerged after the first world fell apart in *FFXIV*—but there are no concrete details (like why the Roegadyn or Elezen look the way they do). Yet, they still sold well. So, is an origin story actually necessary?

I know this is a super dark and very specific question, but I’m aware that some people have interpretations like that. Do you have anything of the sort? Exampkes count if they remain sapient( ableit they can be dumb by human standards) (Marked NSFW just to be safe.)

To be clear, I understand that the industrial era is a time focused on "progress" at the expense of others; humans struggle to get along and discriminate against one another, so a different species would likely have an even harder time dealing with them. Yet, titles like *Arcanum*, *Arc: New Line*, *Victoriana RPG*, and—to some extent—*Silverfall* and *Carnival Row*( thought the last one has canceled 3rd season if I remember correctly) managed to pull it off. So why do so few creators attempt things like heavy magitech still looking victorian, orc empires, or elves fighting to protect nature ? And why is this concept somewhat more popular on internet forums—though still less common than I expected?

I’m looking for: a nice, cozy story full of sweet, heartwarming moments and non-sexual intimacy, but also explicit sex scenes. Some action scenes would be fine too. Must be straight .What should I pick? English isn't my native language.
