World War: Norrath
If all the races of Norrath were at war which race, based on current world influence and city power, would emerge the victor?
My vote is for the Erudites. They have an entire continent to themselves. So not only is their land defensible, so is their city. They could sustain themselves easily while under seige, by turning off their teleporters, hurling magic, and letting the magicians provide supplies. As a close contender, I would choose the humans. They have two powerful cities, and a large population throughout Norrath. EDIT: Try to avoid making arguments based on likely "alliances". This is an all vs all scenario. Although illogical, we cannot decide who would ally with who until we have a solid plot line for what has divided the Norrath races. Otherwise, we end up with another good guys vs bad guys scenario. Imagine every race simultaneously loathes each other and all dream of world domination. Maybe all of Norrath's leaders played a game of Monopoly. | ||

Erudin be cool with turning teleporters on and off. I'd also think Cabilis/Freeport because they're so large. Kelethin for range attacks from above too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I thought of Kelethin, but they are in the middle of a cluster of races. High elves would have to compete with the Wood elves for resources and high elf casters have a deadly weapon against a tree house: endless magical fire. Even if the Wood Elves win, they would have suffered huge losses. Iksar are definitely a top contender. | |||

Iksar empire was wiped out by ravenous halflings due to Cabilis having a secret vendor who sells 10 different flavors of pies and muffins. They just rewrote history into "aaand then the dragons and frogloks and giants and slaves and those flying mouth guys all got together and gods sent diseases and whatnot and that tore the empire down and totally not some hairfoot midgets!".
Inkys probably cuz there's tons of em, they're mean spirited, and they got ogres/trolls/orcs working for them.

As much as I hate to say it, I do not think that Iksars have the strength to dominate all the other races in their current state.
Long ago I believe they would most definitely have won with their massive navy and powerful military that worried even the mightiest of dragons. The iksars had ingenuity and powerful magics that they used to create sarnaks and their Sokokar flying mounts. Unfortunately as Brut said it seems that they were too powerful to leave alone to dominate Norrath. The elves have the militaristic outpost of Firiona Vie which shows that they definitely have the strength to quickly mobilize and establish new settlements and defensive battlements. Still, I think the Erudites would be a very powerful contender and I might even put my money on it. They are a race that split from the humans in search of power and knowledge and I've always imagined that they have spies and informants throughout norrath to help gather that knowledge and fill their libraries with the strongest of lost magics. Their civil war showed how truly terrifying their power is. War where soldiers were not slain by single combat or a barrage of arrows that take out dozens of men but rather hundreds of warriors lost by whispered words engulfing battlefields in flame and carnage. | ||
