Wood Elf

Wood elves are not the docile race they used to be cneturies ago. With the sudden death of their gods and the progressive death of their culture in the form of the advancement of technology. Ironically, as the orcs and ogres became more civilized, the wood elves became less so.

Without their gods, with cities more and more hostile to the nature they value, they have retreated to the forests. They grew more and more disgusted with the common civilization. Today wood elves are widely viewed as borderline feral and are one of the most common threats faced by the average townsfolk, especially woodsman, hunters and loggers.

Often they favor face paint as a way to strike fear into their enemies, using bone necklaces and jewlery, living steel weapons and armor, and often sport wild hair. Their druids are particularly feared, causing wild animals to turn against villagers, sometimes causing stampedes or causing the very trees to attack the townspeople. They speak a strange dialect of elven, but it is understandable by anybody speaking elven. They have a particular animosity towards tieflings, who they view as demon spawn destroying the land, and high elves, who they view as traitors.
