Insofar as War-Earth is Warcraft, this is Dwarves vs. Night Elves; technology and beards vs. nature and not-beards. Blue Jay (and co?) gets sucked into War-Earth and ends up in the middle of the conflict, on the Elf side. Maybe she's attacked by the Dwarves and rescued by the Elves, maybe she does the rescuing, maybe she just feels closer to the Elves than the Dwarves. So Jay helps the Elves a little bit, impressions of her youth as a guerilla fighter. Eventually she comes to believe that the Elves are in the wrong, that they're little pointy-eared fascists who simply want to wipe out the Dwarves for being different. She tries to meet with the Dwarves, only to be captured and taken to their stronghold. Not to put too much of the plot forward, but suffice to say there's dissent among the Dwarves for what's happening, and Tona manages to resolve the conflict with a minimum of death and tragedy. Then goes home. Outstanding issues; I see a figure called the Sagittarius among the elves whose role Jay can temporarily assume, for future character development. However, would this make the story too Mighty Whitey, even considering it's fantasy races? After all, we have an outsider to the culture dropping in, assimilating almost immediately, assuming a high position in this society, fixing the big, obvious problem, and then goes home to live the rest of her life.
