This is the story of Quelsuranh. The Elven kingdom comprising 65% of the western landmass of the planet Molet'var.  Elves remain on the western 65% of the major landmass and humans reside in the eastern 35%.
There is another land mass off to the north covering the northern pole of the planet. Those residing in the north on the polar ice cap landmass would be most closely described as dwarves. Similar to Vikings, tall dwarves I think. They live under the mountains in the north and stay warm in their tunnels. They come out to pillage and raid the northern borders of the human and elven lands. The civilized world knows very little more than this.
The humans for the most part are a more base in nature. More lustful, aggressive. The leaders of the humans are fairly intelligent but they understand they have a more uncivilized people as a whole in comparison to the elves. While the elves were developing the use of; simple tools, treehouses, writing poetry and prose; discussing philosophy, humans were on a more industrialized progression. They built towers and machines. As a rule less cerebral.
