	Not to critize anyone, but I think I'll add my opinion.  The problem I
have with this situation is the so-called "human supremecy."  Humans are
"so good that everyone else is so much cannon fodder" mentality is
something I can do without.  Nor do I like a world of "elves rule all."
I personally like a world with some balance between the races; elves
live here, dwarves there, humans here; other than a few wars, they leave
each other alone.  Hell, in a world of magic, I would think that people
would have developed spells to reduce their need for wood, thus limiting
lumbering to get building material (how much harder is it to create a
"continual heat" spell than a "continual light"????).  Another thing to
think about is how large is the barbarion area is in the world in
question?  The reason I ask is because many barbarions in old Germany
considered trees sacred objects and would even kill anyone who
needlessly chopped them down.  In my opinion, the forests should be
heavily defended, not being clear cut like a rainforest in Brazil. (like
almost every former elvish forest in the Realms).
