One idea that I had was for Elven teleportals - standing stones which have 
been imbued with so much power that they can take move anyone or any group 
to any other known portal, the nearest safe area, or all the way home. 

They would be hard to find, especially for Humans and Dwarves, but still 
there and still powerful enough to be used. You just have to know where 
you're going. Otherwise, something odd may happen.

Elves would use these most easily, of course. Half-Elves with enough power 
might sing the Song of the Pegasus to summon a Pegasus or group of such to 
carry them (or their parties).

Elves and Dwarves, however, might have less need for teleporation. Both 
races are generally very good at covering distances. The Humans would be 
most at a disadvantage.
