Build-A-Setting #1: Orcs, Dwarves, and Elves in the 21st Century

Gurps has two basic flavours of elf. The first kind are the tree huggers, who somehow change themselves to match their environment and want to protect it from menaces such as such as agriculture, open pit mining and urban sprawl using magic to bypass the need for such things to support their own population.

The second are snooty self-absorbed jerks who have abandoned nature in favour of a more urban lifestyle. The second are more likely to prosper, by inserting themselves into human civilization, and using their prettiness, longevity, magic and lack of scruples to rise to the top.
