### **Summary**

Legend has it that Wreaths were once Hesperian Elves that lived on the mainland Hesperian Continent during the Ancient Period. They say that a small group of these Hesperian Elves were led by a Prophet of Lux, and migrated to the Wreath Isles to escape persecution. Over the centuries of isolation from the mainland these Elves developed their own culture, and their Goddess Lux granted them special kinds of horns as a blessing for generations of faithful devotion.

### **Physical Description**

Wreaths are fair-skinned humanoids that stand at an average of 5 – 6 feet. Each Wreath have horns on the top of their head that resemble either rhinos, rams, deer, markhors, moose, saigas, or antelopes. Wreaths also have hair, and can have any color of hair, as well as intense coloration in their eyes.

### **Society**

Wreaths are all about family and honor and they make sure that nothing sullies their family’s honor. Wreaths with sullied honor will go so far as to break off their own horns, and commit honorable suicide with them. Unhorned Wreaths are extremely looked down upon in their society, for it often signals that they did something extremely evil or dishonorable, and unhorning is seen as the ultimate insult one can give another Wreath. Many Wreaths also live by an unofficial Decorus Code that promotes being truthful and fair to all beings.
