Why are there many types of elves, but dwarves are always just dwarves?
Because OP is a faggot who can't be bothered to make a better dwarf.
>>96647595elves being varied is baked into their DNA from tolkein splitting up the high elves and the wood elves, to even norse mythology having the light elves and dark elves dwarves however, are interesting in their niche of being overall consistent throughout fiction with variations being rare. i mean its kind of neat that they're almost always just short angry dudes who like to dig. being consistent fits much more in their conservative nature trying to vary them always feels a little forced and doesn't really push the identity anywhere.even the picture is less of different dwarf cultures, more different dwarf Age of Sigmar tries to push the dwarf identity but instead of 3 developed dwarf cultures among order, they just feel a little under developed. except chaos dwarfs, people seem to like them
>>96647638>more different dwarfdifferent dwarf roles
Elves rapidly adapt to their environments, a requirement for the species considering the lengthy intervals between subsequent generations thanks to their extremely long life spans and low birth rates.If an elf lives long enough on an island, they will become an Island Elf. Place them in a desert, and they will eventually become a Desert Elf. Leave one in a tavern too long, and you might come back to a Tavern Elf.
>>96647595There's different dwarf subspecies too. For some reason dwarves just don't get shit on as much for it, probably because outside of a few dwarf autists no one really gives a fuck.
>>96647595There are other kinds of dorfs.But "elf" has long been used as a term for all sorts of magical folk.
>>96647595I dunno ask the worldbuilding general.
>>96647595Elves adapt to their environment because they are submissive.Dwarves adapt their environment to their needs because they are dominant.

Lots of fantasy races have dumb subraces. These sell books.But it's fashionable and trendy on the internet to bitch about elves, when that bitching should be applied to so much worse.Watch as this thread ignores any post pointing out the many dwarf subraces and just continues to pretend they are not a thing.
What was the name of those gypsy dwarves?
