Did somebody actually complain about orks taking over? I mean, the elves have proven completely incompetant when it comes to running pretty much anything. They couldn't prevent revolution in one of their own countrys and they couldn't keep control of their own foggy barrier thingy. Come on! I'd fire 'em and give orks a chance on principal, even if I didn't think orks were the kewlest thing ever!
It's probably not cannon, but this stretches to the Genesis Shadowrun game, too. The elves are completely incapable of
ridding their land of the free spirit "Thon" and must enlist a human and his runner's help to destroy it. Oh yeah, and a dragon. I mean, good work guys. And not only that, they're completely indignant about it too, sending people on "special tasks" rather than facing the problem head on. Faith in the elves may well be mis-placed, IMO.
