Forest Elves

Forest Elves are the elves that reside in the Wylden Forest, Wylden Plateau and are typically aligned with the Elemental League. They are known for being quick, nimble and hard to spot in the wilderness, making for exceptional guerrila warriors. Often called "lowlander elves" by High Elves, their former brethren. "Wylden Elves" is another name used for the Forest Elves.

## History

A long time ago, a group of the High Elves split and went from the Rivvenheim Mountains into the Wylden, to the south, seeking freedom and free will, but as punishment their connection to the Heiramman Gods have been severed, taking away from them the gift of immortality that their Highland brethren still possess. Nevertheless, the Forest Elves remained in their newfound homeland, becoming attuned with the Land and eventually establishing the Elemental League.

When the Crusaders began savaging their way into Elemental territory, attacking from the north and the west, Prophet-Priest Tremelen, under the orders of the Spirit of Tezla, gave the orders for all loyal Elemental warriors to recall to Roanne Valle – as all-knowing Tezla himself ordered the castle built more than 150 years ago for this very purpose. While many of the Forest Elves obediently headed to the castle, the Trolls, Centaurs and Faeries were outraged at the Forest Elves' cowardice, and vowed to fight for the Land rather than hide in a stone box with the rest of the fools.

With the massive invasion of the Elemental homeland in 434 Tz, and the hasty recall of all the Forest Elves back to the capitol castle of Roanne Valle, there is a great deal of dissent in the Elemental ranks. While the Forest Elves, loyal to the Spirit of Tezla and devoted to his every command, quickly marched back to serve the wishes of the Circle of Nine, many of the non-elven races took great offense at these actions. For the Forest Elves to retreat and hide within a stone coffin during a time when the forests of the Wylden are filled with torch-wielding invaders is viewed as an act of treachery by Centaurs, Trolls, and Faeries of the Wylden.

## Culture

The Forest Elves revere nature and are experts in healing herbs and mending by natural means. When gathering plants they gather one of the three plants they would harvest, leaving the others to flourish and replenish. They make their villages both on the ground and on the trees with treetop houses being quite common. The Forest Elves have long known the secret ways of trees, creating powerful relics that enhance their guerilla warfare tactics, such as the Mask of Mysteries.

### Nam d'elvan

The Nam d’elvan are one of the nomadic Forest Elf tribes that never set down permanent roots on the plateau. Woodland Scouts of these tribes are as highly valued for their speed afoot as they are condemned for their rogue behavior. It is not uncommon for a Nam d’elvan scout to appear in camp one night, enter a battle with the army the next, and disappear the following.
