Elves

Elves are an ancient race and thrive on ancient magics. They are practically immortal and so have learned enough to know when it is time to retire from sight for an epoch or two. They prefer to inhabit the brighter part of the ‘Wood and the ‘Wood responds, shapes itself to their presence. The trees grow tall and straight, magical light dances on every leaf and the animals become more communicative in their presence.

Where did they come from originally? Did they evolve here, as part of the Earth? Some believe they came from another world and that their presence has shaped our own growth as a species, and that of the planet.

Elven Rangers are as slim and slight as the rest of their people, but they are strong and supple as a willow branch and have been trained to protect the trees and animals who have come to rely upon them.

Having been pushed into hiding by the growth of industry and disinterest in the world of Faerie they guard the last remaining bastions of magic fiercely lest they be left with nowhere to go.
