races and capitalization
Should words such as elven, fey, dwarven, etc. be capitalized? I know if it's referring to the race, then probably not. The word human is never capitalized. But the language English is. Anyway, how do you know when to capitalize it and when not to?

(The elven and dwarven are for my sister's book, fey is in mine)
