-**Common Trait.**  \\
+**The Community of Elves**  \\
+Elven people tend to stick to their communities. Like magnets Elves like to stick together or at least stay as a group, their morals and personality tend to alienate them from other races and a sense of superiority is rather common among their culture.
+Elves that do seperate from a community are often solo for life, Elves that leave home are often doing it for a major reason such as a clash of ideals or culture.
+Some Elven Communities are far more welcoming than others
 **Less Known Trait.** \\
+Elves in Felwind tend to fall into a few common but varied categories. Some become teachers of the Arcane arts or scholars, in an effort to research and further Arcane knowledge for themselves or the greater populous. Most tend to be rather loyal to those they form bonds with at a young age. \\ Others take up a more active life as rangers, protectors or lawful mercenary groups for the oppressed or defenceless. quite a large number of elves live and protect the nation of //Greyhawk// its people and its forests. \\ Its common that most elves in Felwind are rather xenophobic or just generally untrusting of adventurers. Most adventuring elves are treated rather badly due to their tendency to indirectly or directly harm those that are supposed to be comrades. \\ Not all elves are like this though...i hope.

+The High-Elves of //Felwind// are known to be more extreme versions of their regular kin. More natural mastery over the Arcane, Longer lived and can either be even more loyal and noble or even more xenophobic and stuck up than their other kin. With celestial heritage they are typically the tallest of elven kin and although not all high-elves share this trait, their fair features have been exaugurated so much their bodies and faces are far more elongated to the point of looking uncanny or alien in nature. History says they first came about when the Gods of [[planes:mount_celestia|Celestia]] created them for the humble task of tending their vast glorias libraries, This has long fallen out of favour due to the [[location:fate_weave|Fate's Weave]] taking that jurisdiction of stored knowledge and High-Elves were cast to the mortal plane. Only a few remain in Celestia as personal servants to high ranking celestinas. \\
+There is still a deep rooted tradition for Pure-Bread high elves. Many High-elves seen in Felwind are often of a long heritage of pure family. Its very rare to see a High-Elf that isn't in some sort of high ranking position in society, As advisors to royalty or scholars for nobles. Strong mages for Generals or even in some level of nobility themselves. With all that said a High-elf as an adventure or soldier is almost unheard of and will be looked down upon by other high-elves. But Desperation can cause even the most snobby people to pick up a blade.

-Drow are the Elven people who have called the //Underdark// their home for tends of thousands of years. By far the most aggressive of all Elven people In Felwind and the reals around.

+Drow are the Elven people who have called the [[planes:Underdark]] their home for tens of thousands of years. By far the most aggressive of all Elven people In //Felwind// and the realms around. They were ruthless hunters and slavers of overworld species until the great war with [[faction:Oxtrad]] in the year 8490. You still hear tales of Drow raids on settlements as they pillage supplies and people, however true or fantasy they are today. \\
 All Drow are tied to the Goddess //Loth// Also known as the Spider Queen. \\
-The land of // Mor-Thir// was plagued by Drow raids during the years 9000~. The Northern lands of //Oxtrad// being the most to suffer. The hand was forced and Oxtrad invaded the Underdark, Committing to the death of over half the population of Drow at the time, They plundered thier capital and ransacked its artifacts, Leaving the Drow Queen dead and its capital in ruins. almost all known entrances to the Underdark were sealed in Mor-Thir after that invasion and Drow raids all by ceased. \\ Today Drow raids are aboust as common as a hurricane, Once or twice a year. \\

-Wood Elves are well known for being a danger to anything that's not the forest, a dwelling creature or another elf. Anything else is often seen as a threat and is dealt with in kind. If not for Drow, Wood-elves would be seen as the most violet of Elven kind. At least this is true for outsider interactions. Within their tree bound villages, Wood-Elves are known to be very mild and kind. Singing and Dancing as if it was a fairy tale. The way that they can so quickly change their attitude is a marvel to other species. \\
-There are many large villages of Wood-Elves around Felwind. Always found deep in thick forests or similar areas where nature has rained supreme. \\ There is a widely known unspoken war between wood elves and Drow. Wood-Elves tend to intercept Drow raids and spare none. //Folklora// are treated as royalty by the Wood-Elves, Though their interactions are low, Elven scripture and art depicts //Folklora// being very will respected. \\ Often found to be expert hunters & Archers they only really leave their villages to seek out revenge for a burned down forest, or the odd one who is curious of the outside world.

+Known as true children of the forest, Wode Elve's glamour and grace hide well their nature of being a danger to anything that's not the forest, a dwelling creature or another elf. Anything else is often seen as a threat and is dealt with in kind. If not for Drow, Wode-elves would be seen as the most violet of Elven kind. At least this is true for outsider interactions. Within their tree bound villages, Wode-Elves are known to be very mild and kind. Singing and Dancing as if it was a fairy tale. The way that they can so quickly change their attitude is a marvel to other species. Their ability to blend into the leaves and bark of the woods means you will never know they are there until they strike, If your not dead you may catch a glimpse of them as they meld back into their surrounds.\\

-===== Drider =====

-Drider are a rare type of Drow. Normally as a punishment the //Spider Queen// Will curse an unfavourable Drow to become a Drider. Their lower half/legs are transformed into that of an arachnid such as a Spider or Scorpion. A very monstrous and painful transformation. \\
+The Half-Breed of Elven and Human blood. Very common in //Felwind// due to the high number of Human/Elf couples weather from one night stands or long lasting marriages, Half-Elves can be found all over the world. They often share none of an Elf's typical xenophobic nature due to their heritage. It would be rather hypocritical if they did. The qualities and sturdiness of human with innate magical abilities make them rather well versed for a life of adventure and travel. Commonly known as 'The Mule of the Adventuring world'. \\ its almost one's best life to be born a Half-Elf and you will very rarely find one that has had a hard life because of it. If one sad factor is that Half-Elves typically do not share the longevity of a full blood elf, Although it has been recorded it is the exception. most Half-Elves will pass before their elven parent and such an event is typically the emotional death of the parent. a factor not many think about until they experience it first hand.
-For male Drow, Becoming a Drider is all but total exile. Male Driders are shunned and shamed by other Drow, Even other Male Drider tend to not interact with each other, As all know to take the Queen's curse is to remain alone forever. \\
-This leads to Male Drider being rather friendly to other species of the Underdark, and more notable, Travlers to the Underdark. A Male Drider in the Underdark while is normally in a sad state will often be overjoyed to meet creatures that are not out to hurt or harm. and will offer guidance if however temporary trough the upper levels of the //Underdark// \\
-Female Drider on the other hand can go a entirely different direction. Like Male Drider's most Feale Driders are also doomed to a life of isolation from their people but rarely Female Driders become a being of worship.
