Wood Elves

Wood elves are the most common elven people inEard. They are minimalistic in their lifestyles, choosing to live in harmony with the natural world around them. Their homeland is the densely forested region of Xurania. They are known to be some of the most accomplished archers in all of Eardand are rumoured to have the ability to command wild creatures. They make great scouts or thieves, due to their natural stealth and light footing. Wood elves had a small and formal alliance with the Fenix royal family prior to the uprising, but after they had fallen the wood elves withdrew any support or alliance for any other races and are entirely neutral in politics of the realm. Instead, wood elves answer to their own laws and are ruled by a council of seven elders, known as the Xur. As a people, they concern themselves only with the environment and are strict in their religious beliefs. They are generally pacifists unless threatened and very rarely ever leave Xurania. Wood elves are generally taller than humans, standing anywhere from 5-7 feet tall and have very wispy builds. They have fair complexions but most are known to have some type of freckles. They have very long pointed ears and their eyes are generally gold, silver or pale green. Wood elves are born with a wide range of hair colours that are found in the environment around them. Most wood elves believe that the colour of their hair is given by the gods to match a certain element in the environment (I.e. plants, flowers, vegetation or landscapes) that are said to embody that being's true essence. Half elf children are not normally allowed to reside or grow in Xurania and are often sent to grow among the other race of their birth.
