"I am glad you are interested. And the reason is because they have the most 'legitimate' claim to the region, the elves through their slavery though they claimed original ownership of the lands not already claimed by gnolls, the kobolds really just want to be left alone to mine and disarm traps, the minotaurs just want to farm the lands, the hobs want to enslave the other three and force them to do the work as they slaughter the gnolls, the last not having been said out loud. Not sure about the gnolls, but suspect they have a similar ideas as the hobs."<br/><br/>He shrugged, and kept walking. "Really, I am thinking the minotaurs, elves, and kobolds together, possibly the gnolls, if the elves can be convinced to not try to slaughter the other two after the hobs and possibly the gnolls have left, and the same for the gnolls."
