                In light of these and similar comments, it's probably useful to mention that the Rathori and green elves are old allies who work together vs. the civilized peoples. Traditionally, the Rathori campaign during the summer, and the green elves during the winter (while the Rathori are hibernating) The relationship is not unlike that of the Umathelan barbarians, in that you have elves and barbaric humans fighting against city folk. One difference is that the Rathori are less subservient than the Umathelan humans, but this might result from the fact that the elves of Fronela are less numerous than those of Umathela, so less able to dominate.
