Wood elves attune to the natural world around them residing in forests and jungles. These elves, have lived in harmony with the forest for millennia, their society built around the principles of balance, respect, and protection of their woodland home.

Their villages, often built in the treetops, blend seamlessly with their surroundings, showcasing their unparalleled ability to live in unity with the forest.

Wood elves are renowned for their exceptional skills in taming and monster knowledge. They are the often grove guardians, their presence often felt but rarely seen by outsiders. Their rangers and druids patrol the borders, ensuring that the sanctity of their home remains unviolated by those who would seek to exploit its resources.
