I like the Azerblood. Wasn't there also an Ecology of . . . article for them in Dragon? |

Close. The article was "Legacies of Ancient Empires" by Eric L. Boyd, and it was in Dragon 350. The article was Realms-specific, and covered four types of Faerūnian planetouched: azerbloods (shield dwarves and azers), celadrin (elven worshippers of Hanali Celanil and eladrins (usually firre)), d'hin (singular d'hin'ni, lightfoot halflings and djinni), and worghests (barghests and goblins). I really liked that article! |

That's it! Thanks Wooly.
I think the d'hin are kind of interesting as well. I have been wondering whether I should write a Coramshan/Calismhan article that details an ancient tribe of d'hin operating around the time of some Shoon Dynasty. |

I really liked that article, myself. All those flavors of planetouched are pretty nifty, and there's a lot of potential for worghests as opponents. 
Oh, and Sean K. Reynolds had something similar to celadrins on his website: eladree. His eladree are the same basic concept as celadrin, but rather predate them. I'd allow either, if I was DM'ing. |

You could submit it to the main site. Or, maybe, depending on the status of Matt James Compendium project, you could offer it as a submission. |

I haven't encountered any dwelves in FR novels. But outside the Realms, there are. I think it was mentioned in Feist's At the Gates of Darkness---some of the demon's prisoners in the old castle, together with humans, pure elves, and pure dwarves. I'm not so certain, though. I'll have to check it later. Or perhaps Wooly, who I understand also reads Feist, can verify it. |

I don't recall any, but I've only read the book once and not recently.
But yup, I do read Feist. He's my fave author, and I have all of his books. |

They're like dwarves really, in that, I don't think dwelves have been a rather well-represented race in the fictional Realmslore. But then, there probably hasn't been any particular need for that anyway. |

| So the dwarves' blood is "genetically stronger" than the elves', eh? |

I skimmed through that part where Pug and company were exploring the demons' lair and found the prisoners. They were human, elves, and dwarves. And unfortunately, no mention of dwelves. But for some reason, I think I remember Jim or Gulamendis once commented he saw a prisoner that looked like a half-elf, half-dwarf...'Tis hard to find such a tiny bit of information in a rather thick novel. So for now I say I might be wrong on this... |

Dwelves...do they exist?
