Elf
Elves were most commonly found in forests, coastlines, shrublands, and other wildernesses but it varies by sub-race. From time to time the elves organized strong nations, though with far less frequency than humans, in some cases adopting even a nomadic lifestyle.
Where Ya'zwen raised the first humans eventually became known as the Feywild as her intense form altered the material plane around her and caused both the humans and the natural world around them to become increasingly chaotic and magical. Some humans ran from Ya'zwen, and remained the standard Human species. Others ran, but kept her rituals in outside lands. Those became the elves. Those who returned to the feywild became Eladrin.
