Wood Elf (Ansrivarr)

An example of a typical Ansrivarr wood elf.

The **wood elves** in Ansrivarr Forest are often regarded as primitive by most races' standards. Rather than building cities of their own, they tend to search for natural structures to reside in. A hollowed out tree or a small cave in Ansrivarr Forest is likely to be turned into a residence for one of the wood elves that live there. If such a natural structure is not available, they will build simple buildings out of wood or stone.

The Ansirvarr wood elves are scattered, with the closest thing they have to a true city being a cluster of them living near the tree Ansalvia. While practically a metropolis by their standards, even this cluster is closer to a few scattered towns than the cities most other races, including other elves, are likely to build.

They prefer simple, practical clothing made out of furs, leaves, or leather. While some have learned to craft metal weapons, most prefer to use Darkwood instead.

Ansrivarr wood elves are known to be stoic and oftentimes uncaring, seeing death as simply another part of life. While they will not attack travelers venturing into Ansrivarr Forest, those travelers should not expect protection from the elves either, who tend to view an attack by a wild animal on another person as no different than any other battle between predator and prey. Only if the forest, or their own people, are at risk are they likely to intervene. Even among their own kind, they are often expected to fend for themselves from a young age, and those who cannot will die, just as any animal that cannot survive in the wild on its own.
