Elves: After the Fall of the Imperium, when humans reached a stage of enlightenment to rival that which the elves had enjoyed off an on for millenia, Vaneria fell into chaos as civil wars and strife engulfed the lands. For reasons yet to be fully understood, the Elves today are very scarce. In fact the few who are out and about in Vaneria are most often mistaken to be sorcerers. The Elves seem to have given up on their very long prohibition against interbreeding with humans and even sorcerers. The rare Elves one may see in Vaneria are likely only partly of Elven lineage. The current Elven homeland whereabouts is a very well kept secret.
Dwarves: Dwarven women almost always bear twins, occasionally triplets, and quadruplets are not unheard of. The conception rate of dwarves is very low, gestation is a decade or more and female dwarves "come into season" late in life, often giving birth as their last act in the world. Thus so few female dwarves are seen. While not as uncommon as Elves, Dwarves are rare and the chaos of Post-Imperium Vaneria has been hard on them. Their main homeland is in the Dragontooth Mountains to the East of Vaikus and to the North of Traevar. They live beneath the Icy peaks on the edge of the region protected by the Dawnscar Clansmen. They've been known to fight and die beside the Barbarians and the Falcon Knights in various skirmishes against the Frost Lord over the centuries. It is rumored that another secretive kingdom lies in the rocky region South of Tukrael. The Boulder Brothers are perhaps the most famous of those who venture from their underground kingdom, at least they have a reputation. Willa Brassgirdle, who was one of Drace's original companions into the Tower, died in there right off. She had been compelled by Black Paw to enter for unknown reasons. A shame too for she had such pretty chin-whiskers...
