They are far more elusive than their elven cousins, living deep within the forests, but share the moon-elven understanding and tolerance of humans. Wood elves are particularly calm creatures, difficult to surprise and possessed of impressive patience. They carry as strong bond to nature and are generally are uncomfortable in any areas of heavy civilization. Wood elves have a natural disposition towards the light, though there are those among them that follow the path of twilight. Community is of the utmost importance to a wood elf, but they also tend to favor freedom and individualism.
