Wood elf
Wood elves, also known as copper elves, or Or-tel-quessir were the most populous of the elven races. Wood elves saw themselves as guardians of the forests and groves, but unlike most elves they did not view themselves as a people apart from the rest of Novarus. Seemingly the wood elves came from the northern part of Novarus as well as the mysterious continent of Illithium.
Civilization and Culture
History
Wood elves were the last of the elven subraces to appear on Novarus, though not through the same method as the other subraces. The wood elves were actually native to Novarus, the descendants of wild elves, moon elves, and sun elves who decided to retreat to their deepest woodland sanctuaries during the Great Hunger.

Wood elves tended to dress in simple clothes, similar to those of the moon elves but with fewer bold colors and a greater number of earth tones that blended into their natural surroundings. Accustomed to a harsh, naturalistic lifestyle, wood elves loved to wear leather armor, even when they were not under immediate threat. Wood elves were roughly identical to other elves in height and build, with males larger than females.
Wood elves were often stronger than other Tel-quessir, including other elves, but were frequently less cerebral than moon and sun elves, who put a greater value on education.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Wood elves were easily identifiable by their coppery skin and green, brown, or hazel eyes. Wood elven hair was usually black or brown, although hues such as blond or copper red were also found.
