In a nod to Eric Von Daniken when designing my science fiction universe
I decided that humanity was far from being alone much less the only
humans in the universe.  With that decided I started thinking of all
the humanoid creatures (elves, dwarves, trolls, lepraucans et al) and
thought to myself "maybe those legends have some truth behind them!"

It's been said before that tech of high enough level cannot be
discerned from magic so the "magic powers" some of these creatures had
could be be tech misunderstood by earth dwellers of sufficiently low
tech level.

Besides using using this list as a sounding board I want to pose some
ideas and thoughts and see what the rest of the list members think of
my insane ideas.

I realize of course non of this is canon.

So the personality (or a facet thereof) of elves I am aware of would in
my mind make them if not xenophobic but aloof to the younger races (I
have decided they are a very old race) and possibly hostile to humans
in particular.

This idea of mine is still being "baked" but I'm going to look at it
for all the races listed above.

I've already incorporated lepracauns in my universe as a scary nod to
"Grandfather" with some of them still alive.  One Moonicher (their name
for themselves) family appears on one of my short stories as brewers.
