Myzelis    Aethrin (Standard)      Elf, Wood

Elf, Wood

With their unearthly grace and fine features, elves appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.
Elves’ coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. Elves have no facial and little body hair. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.
Wood elves have keen senses and intuition, and their fleet feet carry them quickly and stealthily through their native forests. Wood elves’ skin tends to be copperish in hue, sometimes with traces of green. Their hair tends toward browns and blacks, but it is occasionally blond or copper-colored. Their eyes are green, brown, or hazel.

"The following communities are known to the people of Myzelis and recorded in the Journals of Eblin. Realms not listed here have no known populations of these Aethrin large enough to list as communities in their own right."

Gylidder Wood Elves

The Eldest Kin: Long before Gylidd was founded and just after the beginning of recorded history, the city of Hynfaol was born from the trees and fertile earth, founded by hundreds of elven families and the Inaethri that bound them. Those who venerated Calelis, the Hacharwyddic Inaethri of Family, were called wood elves. The city and the Verdant Mesa it occupies are perfectly entwined in a beautiful dance of air, earth, stone, wood, and water, and the shepherds of this land have become bound into its biosphere. In fact, it is said that this is one of the few places in all of Myzelis that Vrokíva will never go - as the erasure of the elves would cause more harm than good to nature. The wood elves past and present have been its wardens for so long that no recognizable system of governance is necessary, but the eldest druid among them - at present the legendary, ancient Arch Hierophant Tabbasiremayuk - sends representatives to the Gyliddring to retain the votes entitled to Hynfaol to ensure that the woods are protected from both without and within.
