Eastern Wild Elves

Following the split in the Great Elven Civilization, some groups of elves in the eastern split elected to organize in more informal arrangements. Often referred to as "wood" elves, the preferred term is "wild" elves ("Wood" elves are generally found on the Avernalan Continent).
Eastern Wild Elves are far more distrustful than their High Elven kin with respect to those outside of their own cultures. Even other elves are frequently shunned and distrusted. Where a High Elf might be distrustful and wary, an Eastern Wild Elf will frequently hide, flee, or act with open hostility or even violence toward an outsider.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Elves reproduce sexually, generally producing one child per pregnancy, though twinning can rarely occur (1 in 2500 pregnancies). When twinning does occur, 95% of the time it is the result of dual fertilization of multiple ova. The other 5% of twinned pregnancies are "identical" twins.

Growth Rate & Stages

Elves mature physically within 18 - 22 years, much the same as humans. Elves live between seven and eight centuries.

Ecology and Habitats

Elves are adapted to survive in all ecological niches found on Alzhonar. They are most often encountered in forest environments, but this is a matter of preference, not adaptation.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Elves possess enhanced aural and visual acuity. In particular, they are able to see more effectively in dim and low light conditions than do humans and some other humanoids.
