A lot of the classic fantasy stuff comes from Norse, Celtic, and Germanic sources: Elves, Dwarves, Giants, Trolls, Leprechauns, Selkies, Named Possessions, etc. Mediterranean mythology gave us Centaurs, Satyrs, Mummies, Manticores, Phoenixes, Nymphs, Naiads, Nereids, Dryads, and a few others. Medieval mythology gave us our classic dragons. I forget where our lizard-men came from. So it is more possible to tailor DF to a certain portion of Europe through exclusion rather than inclusion.
