Orcs, Elves, and the One Cliché to Rule Them All

[Huntsman]

Ironically, I was thinking along this line the other night as I finished book 5 of the Conan series. I was thinking how "fresh" it is to be reading "fantasy" books without elves, dwarves, orcs, etc and also how much the world of Conan reminds me of Dominions. Seriously!

It has diverse races and cultures and swords and sorcery and demons and devils and gods and pretenders and high priests and undead warlocks and barbarians and ghouls and the list goes on and on.

Point is, I'm loving it and would much prefer if Dom3 kept away from Tolkien-esque races in favor of more mythological ones.
