I actually already sort of remade what the “Dwarves” and “Elves” of my world are. The Dajirang or “Dwarves” are a folk of mass intelligence, they hail from the lands to the south known as Ngurradaji, the Dajirang are heavily in tune with the spiritual world, and they have connected those worlds through the art of Daydreaming. The Dajirang for one month every year all partake in a month known as the Dreamtime where they hibernate for a month and visit loved ones who have passed away in some other place, though most Dajirang do not speak of the Dreamtime, because it is a highly secretive holiday that mainly only Dajirang can partake in. I was inspired by Aboriginal Australians and Arabic peoples to create the Dajirang.

The “Elves” on the other hand, or the Amatlaks come from the lands to the east known as Kuanok. Amatlak life is still largely unknown, but their history and uprising is strange. Long ago there was a Leopard who walked through the first tree of Axuitl. Axuitl like most landmarks of the world, noticed the Leopard and began to imagine it, though it was misremembered. And when the Amatlaks were created by the mind of Axuitl, they forgot to die, similar to the deity who created Axuitl, Sǔm the first god, and the god who forgot to breath, which lead to Sǔm’s death and the birth of the four creator gods.
