Biography

An elf is a type of humanlike supernatural being in Germanic mythology and folklore. In medieval Germanic-speaking cultures, elves seem generally to have been thought of as beings with magical powers and supernatural beauty, ambivalent towards everyday people and capable of either helping or hindering them. However, the details of these beliefs have varied considerably over time and space, and have flourished in both pre-Christian and Christian cultures. While the Light Elves and Dark Elves exist and form in other dimensions, the forest elves are natives to the Physical World. Unlike the other two, forest elves have very limited magical power, but also unlike the others, these elves are formidable warriors in both melee and ranged weaponry.

Forest elves are inherent warriors. From birth, without being taught, they simply have instinctual fighting prowess. In time, as they grow and develop, they become masters of battle. Swinging blades, polearms, or firing arrows from bows, these elves fight to ensure that forests and woodlands maintain a balance. Hearty and athletic, they make poor mages but sturdy fighters. They love the sunlight and can talk to animals and plants as easily as humans converse with each other. They have a natural beauty about them and their skin colors range from browns to dark forest green flesh.
