Story idea set in a fantasy world. Humanoid race of magic-users creates a large, strong race (troll or ogre like perhaps) for some purpose in ancient times. The created race becomes a problem and are banished. A new militaristic race tries to control the humans. The protagonist decides to seek help from the banished ones. To get to their distant new home, she/he must enlist help from a sylvan race who has access to great winged creatures who can fly quickly over great distances. These elf-like creatures remove themselves from the daily struggles of the other races, considering themselves above it all. The theme of this is that different black and white views of the world don’t work, it’s something in the middle. The militaristic race tries to hard to control all, the sylvan race represents isolationism, and the human race has to suck it up and ask for forgiveness from their creation as they realize they can’t always play god with others.
