Acording to ED there are legends which state that Elves, Dwarfs, Orks,
Trolls and Humans are based from the same species; just as in SR. The other
Name Giver races (Obsidimen T'scrang and Windlings) are all just smart
critters, so they will just appear when magic levels get high enough. It is
a bit of an assumption to say that they would all speak Dwarven and Windling
but not a huge leap of imagination.

Personal preferance; I like to play smart, stylish and ultimatly weedy
characters and big lumps of rock don't seem to lend themselves to that
image. Not that I don't recomend anyone to play one; it's just the way I
like my characters. I also don't really think I could play anything not
human, apart from maybe a windling; the quote in ED just sums it up:
