 To an elf, a human is a rather dimwitted, dangerous and short-lived animal.  Humans have been found to be very loyal and for some reason find elves attractive and awe- inspiring.  Elves therefore tolerate humans in much the same way as humans tolerate pet dogs and cats. The elves have other plans for humans (see later). To an elf, a human is a rather dimwitted, dangerous and short-lived animal.  Humans have been found to be very loyal and for some reason find elves attractive and awe- inspiring.  Elves therefore tolerate humans in much the same way as humans tolerate pet dogs and cats.

 +**The humans of Urr.**
 +Urr is an unimportant human citystate in a strategically somewhat important spot. So ofcourse they are going to get stomped by the Dark Lord in this generations purge of humanity. The citizens of Urr seem to be closer to the elven ideal for the human race than for example the folks over at Yendor.
 +In the grand scheme it may be helpful to save either the whole of Urr, or a remnant of it's population and culture. The considerable magic powers of the observers can be used to accomplish this goal if deemed worthwhile. There is even a modest force of elven archers available if needed. It better not be needed! Elf lives are very precious!
 +Urr is run by 2 Captain Regents and a Grand Council. There are very regular elections for all political posts in Urr. It is not clear if they are real, or some sort of charade to keep the moocher class happy.
 +Urr has a Redbeard quarter and a Free Folk quarter, where the most pathetic punks of both races live.
  
 ** Attitude to Dwarves ** ** Attitude to Dwarves **
  
-Dwarves are long lived (although by no means immortal) and are therefore quite a different proposition to the somewhat muddle-headed humans. Elves and dwarves do not actually hate each other, but approach each other on a basis of mutual distrust. Dwarves are basically cynical creatures who are not easily taken in by elvish fine words and beauty. In general dwarves and elves live and let live.+Dwarves are long lived (although by no means immortal) and are therefore quite a different proposition to the somewhat muddle-headed humans. As far as the Elfs are concerned the Dwarfs are essentially the French. They are hairy, smelly, cowardly, oversexed pervs that eat weird food. Elves and dwarves generally do not actively hate each other, but approach each other on a basis of mutual distrust. In general dwarves and elves live and let live.

 +**Dwarfs around Urr.** 
 +There are 3 dwarfcaves in the region. 
 + 
 +The Cave of the Longbeards. 
 +These are the sad ossified  remnants of the only semi-cool dwarf culture ever. Their ancestors did some interesting (if derivative of elfen craftmanship) stuff. Now they kling to those secrets as easy sources of income and as a deterrent to people who might hurt them. 
 +They are ruled by a High King who has a High Council to advise him. 
 + 
 +The vulcano of the Gnomes. 
 +These are the most effeminate dwarfs. They were banished to this unsafe hellhole by the more butch sub-culture of the Longbeards. The gnome goddess empress(weird inappropriate title) is supposed to be the concubine of the Longbeard High King. But apparently one of the 2 is incapable of satisfying the other so their relationship is strained. The Gnomes claim they have once again taken up the mantle of innovators, but nothing they make ever works. 
 + 
 +The Cave of the Redbeards. 
 +They are a bunch of communist race pimps. They scratch out a very modest living by producing uncool metal ware. Cheap pots and pans, cutlery, horseshoes and shovels. 
 +They supplement this meagre income by race hustling. Bemoaning to the Grand Council of Urr  and the High Council of the Longbeards their own incompetence and misery and being bought of with handouts.
  
 ** Orcs (or the Free Folk as they call themselves) ** ** Orcs (or the Free Folk as they call themselves) **
  
 Orcs are, in fact, just another distant tribe of humans.  Their different skin colouring and slightly different facial patterns has made it possible to depict them in song and fable as an evil race of monsters (see below why this should be). Orcs are, in fact, just another distant tribe of humans.  Their different skin colouring and slightly different facial patterns has made it possible to depict them in song and fable as an evil race of monsters (see below why this should be).
 +
 +**The local Freeloaders, umm... Free Folk.**
 +Just like the Redbeards except far worse. Remember, where the dwarf lusts after the innocent elf maiden for his deviant sexual purposes, the O-word lusts after her nubile flesh for feasting. Anyways wild Free Folk live on the hills the Redbeards live under. Where the Free Folk in the service of the Prince of Darkness have a certain noble savage quality to them, the ones around and inside Urr have been spoiled by welfare and socialism
