Elves were always "useful". That wasn't really the point.

My elves sell me llamas, whilst my dwarves let me embark with things like war giraffes and giant tigers.

The Elven Menace.

  In recent times the relationship between dwarfish and elven peoples has been one of calm amity. The current state of affairs has brought great gains to the dwarfish nations and our trade with the elves has blessed us with access to many unique goods.

  Blessings though they may be, the true nature of the elf should not be forgotten. In any mountain hall statues of past glory show the cruelty of elven kind. Their self righteous ultimatums and the bloody battles that have ensued are testament to their willingness to shed dwarfish blood for no greater insult than the refusal to adopt, unconditionally, elvish values.

  All true dwarfs have heard and heed well the past legends of elvish aggression. We know that sooner or later the elves shall return to the old ways, to the way of the bow. For now the elves may be tolerated but, I beg you, question not those amongst us who choose to keep a sharp axe and an even sharper vigil. We are wary because of what the past has proven about our current partners.

  I beg all dwarfs to heed me. The elf may be tolerated but not trusted, traded with but not befriended. The elf is a threat, maybe not today, but time will show their true nature. They will reveal themselves and for the sake of your home, your family and your comrades, keep a stout guard against that day. Guard against the elven menace.

I swear, this sounds like the beginning to the Dwarven version of Mein Kampf.

That's not far off, actually.

Are we following an anti-elf manifesto now? I'm in.
