elf-dwarf wars

[Eladar]

Secondly, the Elves also hate the Dwarves because they believe that the Dwarves take from the Earth without giving anything back. The main function of the Elves as a race was to guard, protect, and cherish their surroundings. Whatever they did, they made sure to interfere with Nature as little as possible. The Dwarves, on the other hand, loved mining, digging, etc., procedures that the Elves considered invasive and abusive to the Earth. The Dwarves say that they only take what the Earth offers them, and that they don't put undue stress on the Earth, but the Elves believe otherwise.
