Wood Elves

Wood elves (or Thartire, as they call themselves) have adapted to a life in the forest through countless generations under the canopies. Iacaris is mostly home to wood elves. Worship of Skadi, Uller, and Freya is most common among wood elves.

They have golden olive skin, earth-toned hair and eyes, and rounder faces than their high elf cousins. Like all elves, their ears are pointed, but it is slightly less pronounced. Many wood elves adorn themselves with facial tattoos and weave flowers, vines, and leaves, and feathers in their hair. Traditional wood elf garb is layered in natural colors with accents of leaves, leather, and gold.

Out of all the elves, wood elves are the most inclined towards primal magic. About one in fifteen wood elves, and even more among the ancient noble lines, can invoke some of nature's power. Archery also has a special place in their culture. Some of the greatest alchemists can also be found among them, foraging the forests for magical ingredients.
