Wood Elf: The Forest Folk

Wood elves averange five feet in height share the same common traits as all elves - slight builds, alluring faces and pointed ears. Their skin is tanned ro a golden brown and subtly glittering. Although slight in build, wood elves have more physically defined bodies than the other greater races, resulting from their forest living. Most wood elves wear their hair long and the females enjoy adorning it with flowers and leaves from their forest home. They prefer cloth and hide for clothing, but have been known to don light chain or scale mail of rare metals. They also make a rare type of symbiotic living armor.

With high agility and deep passionate devotion to the forests, wood elves make excellent scouts. Their innate wisdom also lead them to follow the path of the priest.

Background:

Wood elves, or Feir'Dal, are the free-spirited cousins of the high elves. Far more tolerant of other races than the haughty Koada'Dal, wood elves are pleasant and friendly. The Feir'Dal's ancestral home is the tree city of Kelethin, a series of platforms and elevators built skyward into the awesome beauty of the Greater Faydark. Wood elves love celebration and song, dedicating their lives to the praise of their creator, Tunare. Their welcoming and accepting nature has lead to close ties to other races, especially humans. This particular closeness has, in turn, sired the vast majority of the half elf race.

Faith:

Wood elves are devoted to Tunare, the Mother of All. They have a longstanding tradition of druidic worship, honoring the primal forces of Nature and Growth. A few Feir'Dal have begun to investigate shamanism, tying spiritual philosophy into the worship of their goddess.
