Why there are no Elder Races that compete with humans of 'lebensraum' directly and in same environment, I wonder.. The beings of 'myth' are hidden from the Joe Everyman, sort of.
This is like Joseph Campbell's myth structure: to meet with fantastic beings of other races you have to cross a 'border', if I have understood it correctly.

Oh, it's so much easier to run a campaign at 1610's. I can't be bothered to create so much new stuff, when PC's can go to Shadows Dance for similar results.

Right. Orange seems to be a insider joke about ducks... we noble creatures of air & water ignore such remarks. Quack!

This is a very strong argument. But OTOH, fertility is so important to trolls that Xiola Umbar priestesses (all females? Dunno) would propably have something to help those unfortunate trolls. Unless in the Hill of Gold Yelmalio's Fiery Spear castrated ZZ, of course.
