We all know with (most) elf races, you get Elf Weapon Training which grants proficiency in shortswords, longswords, shortbows, and longbows. But with Tasha's new origin maker, we get to swap the proficiencies we can get. With the rules, we get to choose
1 simple weapon or tool proficiency; and
3 martial weapon, simple weapon, or tool proficiency.
Strangely, there is the option of shortswords in the simple weapon or tool proficiency selection. I am certain (and made sure) that shortswords are a martial weapon. Not much of a travesty but just wanted to point it out.

That’s probably a glitch from the Devs building for the future since WotC is making shortswords a simple weapon in 2024 when 1DD goes official.

Oh? I did not know shortswords were becoming simple weapons. That's good to know.
