Humans are classed as one big race because we haven't yet decided every subtype of the human race. And orcs only inhabit the volcanic areas (Tragothar) of the southern continent. Trolls, on the other hand, are not social or intelligent enough to form working localized habitats, so they are most likely scattered around the map. Elves are "vaguely localized", as they are fairly "generic" in the same sense as humans, meaning nothing really prevents them from living in different types of terrain. I imagine we have wood-elves, high elves etc (not dark elves though because they would be too much of a ripoff). -- _/_ /Atte "Yorkaturr" Koivula <yorka@dlc.fi>
