A world that resembles our own, but during the steampunk revolution. A world where magic had never died, just took a back seat to technology. The dwarves forged ahead and led for a time as innovators. The elves were disgusted, and retreated to the wilds to continue practicing their  own way. Humans didn't care to work along side the dwarves for a while. They were mutually beneficial. Then the dwarves go greedy, and the flew too close to the sun. There was an event and they fell. Humans rose up.
