Hmm we should become like the Neanderthals or the Dinosaurs? Elder does not automatically mean wiser by any stretch of the imagination.

Sometimes they do and this has been pointed out over and over again. But for you it is not enough for some unknown reason and they must like each other even more seemingly unto the point where all humans must love the elder races more than they like their neighbours. Which jars with what we can see in history.

Learn to recognize sarcasm! This was a parody of your arguments. For example, one can go onto the plains of prax and meet morokanth quite easily. How you can continually claim that they are 'put away' is a complete mystery to me.

So where would you have trolls? In the bright open places? For all your railings against the limited imagination of the authors, you have no presented one credible reason why the Elder Races should go outside their preferred living area en masse.

But it follows from 'more gloranthan than others'.

In Dragon Pass (Uz, Beastpeople, Ducks, Elves, Tusk Riders, Dwarves, Newtlings and Dragonewts amongst other creatures)? In Prax (Broos, Morokanth and Uz?) Even in Seshnela, one can find Dwarves and Centaurs. I hate to be blunt Panu but this claim is unadulterated bullshit.

What ever gives you this impression. If they are not RW humans than why do we have humans in glorantha?
