Weird question; but why do a lot of Fantasy stories have Elves on paper be far better than humans, but are almost extinct, or slaves? Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, The Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Runescape.
Do Humans just breed faster? Is it commentary on the cruelty of men and their lust for war? Does it just make the world more interesting?
What do you guys think?
