Here’s the issue. There is an entire continent here, that was once filled with a wide variety of people, all with different cultures and belief systems, who had their own complicated internal and external politics, including intertribal wars. All of these complex belief systems, all of these cultures, were condensed…

Nothing is worse in this kind of discussion than the “Its fiction, it doesn’t need to make sense” defense. Especially when its really just covering the “You were critical of something I like - SHUT UP!!!” attitude.

And if they hadn’t decided to replace rock trolls and dwarves with gnomes there would be even more going on. And if they hadn’t…
