 +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.

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.

 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. \\ Drow are the Elven people who have called the [[planes:Underdark]] their home for tens of thousands of years.

-{{ :culture:wood_elf.jpg?200 |}} 
 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.\\  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.

 There are many large villages of Wode-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 Wode-elves and Drow. Wode-Elves tend to intercept Drow raids and spare none. //Folklora// are treated as royalty by the Wode-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. There are many large villages of Wode-Elves around Felwind.

-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. +

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.
-The //Drider// are //Drow// who have been transformed via an agonising process normally passed down by the Drow's Queen Goddess. Normally as a punishment the //Spider Queen// Will curse an unfavourable Drow to become a Drider. Centaur-like creatures with the bodies of giant spiders or similar arachnid, Their lower half/legs are transformed into that of an arachnid such as a Spider or Scorpion Matching the image of the Drow's Goddess. A very monstrous and painful transformation. \\ +
-This is normally seen as a punishment delivered by the Spider queen, Given to those Drow that have shamed the queen beyond redemption or committed some form of great sin. \\  +
-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. To wander the Underdark shunned by other Drow. You will often find them just outside Drow encampments in an effort not to be completely alone, Some are even used as makeshift slaves. But in the end, 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. Female Drider more often are treated differently though 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. Lady Drider normally grow their own cult-like followings weather by choice or not. Other Drow who may not agree with the Spider Queen's teachings looking for a new leader or belive that the transformation is a form of blessing, Seeing the new female Drider as a sort of prophet from the Spider Queen. +
