Wood elves live at ease with nature, using what naturally occurs in the world to shelter or defend themselves. Clerics are somewhat rare among this people, but druids are very common and are the most prominent spellcasters of the race. Wood elves from particularly remote forests sometimes become barbarians. Wood elves make excellent fighters, rangers, and rogues, relying on their natural strength and quickness to meet challenges. They understand its power and a number of their folk study its way, but ultimately the artifice of arcane lore is simply one more way of expressing dominion over the natural order of things, and the wood elves view it in that light. Of all the elven subraces, the copper elves have the least fascination with arcane magic. Other races interpret this attitude as fatalistic or condescending, and as a result wood elves find it hard to understand anyone who isn't a wood elf. They have come to believe that buildings of stone are transitory in nature, and that in time, the forest returns to overgrow the greatest of cities. They have lost the urge to build and replace nature with walls and palaces even the cities built by their elven kin seem to be foolish to the wood elves. They are at one with the world of nature, and are not comfortable in areas of heavy civilization. Wood elves are clam, serene, and difficult to surprise. Wood elves are as tall as most other Faerunian elves but more heavily built. They are a humble race and only rarely do they enhance their appearances with jewelry or similar accessories. Their clothing, leather armor or not, is usually dark shades of green and earth tones to better blend with their natural surroundings. They are particularly fond of leather armor, and they often wear lovingly tooled and well-crafted suits even when they do not feel endangered. They favor a simple cut to tunic or dress, set off by common embroidery in natural designs.
Wood elves prefer to dress in simple clothing, similar to the moon elves, but not quite so colorful. Hair is usually brown or black, occasionally blond or coppery-red. The wood elves do not view their homelands as a land apart from Faerun they understand better than their kindred that for better or worse, their fates are bound with the fates of humans, dwarves, and halflings around them.Īlso known as copper or sylvan elves, these people have coppery skin tinged with green, and brown, green, or hazel eyes. Where the old empires expanded with strength and pride, the realms of the wood elves hope to grow with compassion and humility. Theirs to the second generation of elven nations, wood elves see their realms as the natural successors to lands such as Eaerlann and Cormanthyr. The wood elves are among the most numerous of Faerun's elven people, a young and confident folk who hold the old elven forest homelands in strength.
