Elven Races

Syvlan Elves:
Although Syvlan Elves or
Wood Elves which is the
more common name, are
descended from the same
stock as the other elves,

[Page 2]
they are far more
primitive than their kin.
Sylvan Elves, by their
very nature, seem more
prone to violence than
their civilized cousins.
Their muscles are
stronger, their

[Page 3]
complexions more florid.
They have yellow to
coppery-red hair, which
contrasts with their
lightly tanned skin. Their
eyes are generally light
brown, although bright
green is not uncommon.

[Page 4]
Wood Elves do not care
about the proceedings in
the outer world; only
when such acts impact
their realm do the Wood
Elves take interest. Even
then, that interest is
only in removing the

[Page 5]
nuisance and in returning
to the wildlands as
quickly as possible. Only
other elves can break
their solitude without
suffering potential
hostility.


[Page 6]
High Elves:
The most commonly seen
of all Elves, the High
Elves are also the most
open and friendly. They
are also the most
adventurous of Elves, and
have no compunction about

[Page 7]
exploring the world
outside their homelands.
At first, High Elves may
seem aloof and arrogant,
but with little effort, a
glimmer of true self can
be learned.
High elves know the value


[Page 8]
of friendship and alliance
with other good and free
races of the world. Trust
is hard-earned however,
thus, although they serve
the cause of good, one
can never be sure what
the reception from them

[Page 9]
will be.
High Elves also are the
most scholarly of the
elven kin. They study the
many writings of the
free races and often live
together in small groups
to find enlightenment.

[Page 10]
Their garments are
usually elaborated and of
the highest quality. They
consider themselves as
cultivated and all other
free races as rather
vulgar and barbaric.
High elves are very pale.

[Page 11]
Their skin does not tan
and is the color of new
cream. Their hair and
eyes fall into two main
categories. Those with
blond hair and blue eyes,
and another equally
numerous variation with

[Page 12]
dark hair, ranging from
brown to sheerest black,
and intense green eyes.
High elves do not place a
great deal of value on
society, preferring instead
to live as they wish, not
as someone tells them to

[Page 13]
They live in a constant
relationship with nature,
never taking more than
they need, and giving back
ever more.

Wild Elves:
The Wild Elves are an

[Page 14]
emotional people, quick to
anger and prone to
violent outbursts. Loyal
to their friends and clan
family, and wholly opposed
to the evil forces of the
world.
A wild elf pursues his

[Page 15]
enemies with relentless
hatred and always avenge
a personal insult or one
made against his clan.
Wild Elves weave grand
tales of ancient heroes
to their children - their
clan celebrations are


[Page 24]
a Wild Elf never lets a
Dwarf with an axe out
of his sight. Halflings are
regarded with delightful
amusement but are often
ignored completely if the
elf is in mixed company.
Orcs and goblins are

[Page 25]
outright despised by wild
elves - they will attack
them on sight unless
thoroughly convinced the
creatures pose no threat.
Half Elves are shunned b
the Wild Elves, for they
cannot fathom another

[Page 26]
Elf wishing to despoil her
body by mating with a
human and bearing a
half-breed child.
