Elf
Aldryami
Elves are the Aldryami most often seen by outsiders. Slight of frame, quick, and intelligent, the elves of Glorantha are a species coupled to trees. Although most elves appear humanoid, they are plants not animals.
All elves are vegetarians, and do not cook their food. Elves do not mind getting wet and are much more resistant to the elements than humans. They build no buildings and make no cities. Within their forests, they live in the open air, needing no shelter at all.
They are quite shy outside of their protective forests. Among their trees, elves are supreme, living in complete harmony with their environment. Except in cases where their homes have been utterly devastated, elves do not migrate from their forests, although individuals seem free to come and go at will.
The elves view themselves as caretakers of the forest, and their activities are directed to that end, ever ready to clear up an outbreak of giant aphids, an incursion of trollkin, or land-clearing farmers.
Elf warriors carry the famed elf bows, living plants that they wield with deadly accuracy.
