Wood Elf
Wood Elves, or the Ruven/Ruvians, are a genetic offspring of the Alemar. Wood Elves are considered lower then the High Elves, but higher then the Swamp Elves and Dark Elves. Wood Elves are actually considered equal to High Elves in the view of the Alemar, but no High Elf would ever accept that notion. Wood Elves are isolationist, both culturally and individually. Living deep within the woods of the Vesporia, they like to keep to themselves. The Wood Elves care only for matters that directly affect them or their homes. Wood Elves have a natural affinity for nature, often times being able to communicate and ally with animals and seemingly the forces of nature itself. They are renown acrobatics and nimble fighters.
Physical Traits
Wood Elves stand anywhere from 5'9-6'2. Typically, they have blonde or brown hair, with brown, earth like eyes. They have sharper, narrower features than the High Elves and Alemar, such as thinner eyes, cheekbones, and noses. Unlike other Elves, Wood Elves have much longer ears, that point more outwards.Character Creation
Naming Conventions
Wood Elf names are derived from their language, Ruvian, which is a slightly modified version of Old Elvish. Wood Elf names, like Alemar and High Elves, typically have meaning behind the names, and each name is drawn from something within the Vesporia forest, such as maybe specific locations, trees, bodies of water, etc.| Example Name |
