I was not planning to put in dwarves/elves/wizards, thank god.
Any magic at all? Using any system of magic immediately makes something witch/wizard-like....
Then again, that'd be going for something already there. Magic is the easiest door to open when writing fantasy. The second would include The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings. :D

I find it strange how most of my early fantasy was from Heroes of Might and Magic, Dragonlance, and MtG, long before I read LotR, so my idea of fantasy was shaped before the Big One hit me. Lord of the Rings didn't seem to go into much detail of the races, and stuck with the heroes interacting with snipplets of them. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
Well, if you had read The Silmarillion prior to LoTR, you'd see the world as a whole. Sadly, though, a few of his publications are posthumous, so it'd be hard to tell which ones go where without having read them.

Oh, and sorry for the double post.
