[edit] Description

Wood Elves are one of the playable elf races located on the continent of Kojan. They live in a grand city in the forest treetops, and almost all Half-elves are part Wood Elf. The Wood Elfs share their home with the Raki.

[edit] Official Description

Wood Elven society demands perfection, and so this graceful, austere race delivers it. They were drawn to the woods of Kojan centuries ago, and there they have developed a culture that is entirely their own. Young wood elves are driven to success, and they advance through the ranks of Ca'ial Brael's hierarchy by the merit of their deeds.

They protect their forest and all its flora and fauna fiercely, and carry with them a profound distrust of outsiders. Wood elves prefer not to become involved in external politics, and instead, focus on preserving their own space.

Recent events have forced the wood elves to accede to sending ranks of their adventurers out into the world. Enough threats have mounted that even this reclusive race can no longer ignore what is going on around them.

[edit] Wood Elven Society

As previously mentioned, Wood Elven society focuses strongly on achievement, and excellence. Within Wood Elven society, there are seven paths from which nearly every Wood Elf selects that which they feel to be their highest calling in life. Each path has a Warden, who has earned the most respect on that path, and guides those who would follow it. On each path there are a great many positions, stations, and jobs. While an eminent diplomat walks the Path of the Wind, so too does the bird-tender who cares of messenger birds. The seven Wardens, along with the Warden of the Sun, and the two lorekeeper Wardens of the Day and the Night, sit in council and make decisions on behalf of their people. The seven paths are as follows:

Path of the Wind - Words, Diplomacy, Lore, and Travel
Path of the Glade -
Path of the Moon - Wisps, Portents, Learning, and Magic
Path of the Beasts - Protection and tending of the Glade's creatures great and small
Path of the Flame - Preservation of balance, and restoration, through necessary destruction.
Path of Stone
Path of the Spring - Protection of and ensuring the purity of the Glade's waters.

Of Day and Night The wardens of Day and Night are the lorekeepers of Wood Elven society. Wood Elves do not believe in recording their beliefs and history on paper, as do their Raki or Human allies, but instead rely on oral tradition, with each Wood Elf learning bits and pieces which pertain to their paths and lives. Between the two of them, the Warden of the Day and the Warden of the Night are responsible for remembering all of the collected knowledge of the Wood Elven people. These lorekeepers spend the first halves of their lives in apprenticeship, learning their knowledge, and the second half of their lives passing it on to their successor. The Warden of Night is responsible for knowledge related to death and the afterlife, specifically. The current wardens of Day and Night are Elleron and Ravela, respectively, and have a relationship mirroring that of man and wife, though Wardens are not allowed to marry or have children.
