The Wood Elves were among the most commonly encountered of all elves, being dwellers in regions frequently crossed by humans and other races, but are still rarely seen unless they wished it.[1]
Description[]
They dressed in light shades of green and brown, and always carry a fine bow and quiver-full of arrows. Their skill with this ancestral weapon of the elves was legendary, and they were almost all trained to some degree in the use of magic.[2]
Wood elf nobles tended to be great warriors or powerful spellcasters.[2]
Whilst most wood elves had no love for creatures of Evil, such as orcs or trolls, they did not bear them the same level of hatred as they did for the dark elf race. Indeed, it could have been well be said that if the wood elves loathed the orcoid races as much as they do their fallen cousins, there would have been almost none of these creatures left to trouble anyone again!
Whenever a wood elf and dark elf met, it was said they would inevitably fight to the death, asking for and giving no mercy, although the latter would usually try to capture the former for later torture and sacrifice to the Dark Lords of Chaos. But wood elves had an excellent defensive measure should they be captured, as they could enter into a trance-like state by communing intently with Galana, and render themselves insensible to pain or hypnotic sorcery - no wood elf has ever been ever been to have said a word or even cried out under the fiercest torture whilst like this.
Wood elves were somewhat ambivalent to humans, and found the dwarves preference for living underground hard to understand.[2]
Most wood elf settlements were protected by spells, that made it difficult for non-wood elves to find them.[2]
Origins and Distribution[]
A wood elf chief and a shaman.
Wood elves were those elves whose natures had remained truest to their ancestors and to the intentions of Galana.[3] When Irritaria was split, so to was the One Forest. In Khul, the main remnants of the One Forest were in north-east Khul, such as the Old Forest, and Affen Forest. Here the wood elves remained quite strong. There was also a kingdom of elves in south-west Khul in the jungles of Transoxalia. Although never part of the One Forest, this was an ancient woodland. They had little or no contact with other wood elves of Khul and thus had developed separately from their cousins in north-east Khul, for whereas there the elves were divided into tribal groups with tribal chiefs, the wood elves of south-west Khul were organised into a single kingdom.
In Allansia, wood elves dwelt mostly in the Forest of Yore, Darkwood Forest, and Greenhome.[4] There was a large population of wood elves in the village of Ash Cleeve in the Forest of Night. [5] Elves also lived in the town of Eren Dûrdinath in the Forest of Spiders. [6]
In the Old World, the Forest of Lein in Ruddlestone had a group of wood elves dwelling there, called the Guardian Elves. [7] There were also a number of wood elves living in Gallantaria. [8]
On the Arrowhead Islands, Shamdabag Wood on Stayng Island had a wood elf populace who worshipped the Goddess Iatro and despised the Undead. [9]
