Random World Idea. Old West, Post-Apocalypse with Dinosaurs

[Rider]

I think it would be interesting to reverse the typical elf dynamic of being a benevolent, dying, magical species. What if, in the fantasy world, the elves maintain massive empires? Elven dynasties feud amongst each other in opulence while legions of orc slave-soldiers fight in their unending wars. The elves are fey in their mindset, maintaining complex and obscure rules of etiquette and honor. The elves in the Wild West world are outcasts and escapees from the fantasy world.

I'm not really going for a dual world concept. Where the fantasy races and monsters came from is known only as the Veil, and I'm leaving it obscure and abstract. It is largely irrelevant to the setting as it is inaccessible and one can't go there. It only opened during the Emberfall for a few hours, then it closed and has remained closed.

I do envision elves in this setting to be more tribal and primal rather than ethereal and ever-living fae.
