"Elder Races" refers to ancient and often powerful species or groups in fantasy literature and games. These races typically possess unique abilities, long lifespans, and deep connections to magic or nature. Examples include Elves, Dragons, and Giants, each with their own rich histories and cultures. In many narratives, Elder Races are portrayed as wise and knowledgeable, often serving as guardians of ancient secrets or lost civilizations. Their interactions with younger races, such as Humans or Dwarves, can lead to alliances or conflicts, shaping the world around them and influencing the course of events in the story.
