Information Thread for Potential New Wood Elven Units

As such, the Wood Elves have spent their entire existence bent solely on the preservation of their forested realms, to ensure that it persist throughout the ages and to protect their demi-god rulers from all harms. Never has this been truer than in these dark days, where every broken bough or withered leaf carries an omen of darker times to come. It is this cause in which they fight, for no land endures long if it cannot take up arms against those that wish it harm, and the waking woodland of Athel Loren have endured for many thousands of years, so long as the watchful eyes of her protectors continue their loyal vigilance.

Eternal Guard of Atylwyth = Atylwyth cannot hope to call upon the spirits to protect this winter realm as they cannot rouse from their slumber. There are larger quantities of Eternal Guard in this realm than anywhere else in Athel Loren. These would replace the standard Eternal Guard for an Atylwyth faction/settlement. Other variants include shields.

Eternal Wardens = In the tabletop this is the name of the champion of the units, but in Total Warhammer they could be more advanced/powerful versions of the Eternal Guard unit. Other variants include shields.

Glade Guard = An older version of the Glade Guard that were exclusively melee.
https://i.imgur.com/ffbfpsk.png White Dwarf 272

Guards = Large settlements are protected by contingents of guards who watch the forest paths from their hidden strongholds. These small units of guards form the core of campaigning wood elven armies. May equip; Great Weapons, Shields, Spears.
https://i.imgur.com/lwN4XPs.jpg 3rd Ed. Armies Book

Kithband Warrior = Small units of warriors, known as Kithbands, take the fight to the enemy. As their name indicates, Kithbands are made up of Elves from related family groups and they fight under their clan emblems. These skilled bowmen protect the Elf settlements from the dark things of the wood. Every bow is needed to stave off the destruction of the remaining Elf lands of the Empire.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kithband_Warrior

Warrior Kinbands = The family banners of the kinbands are a familiar sight to the allies of the Elves, and their bloody-handed bearers a welcome addition to the army. Can wield; Hand Weapons, Shields, Light Armour, Spears, Great Weapons, Additional Hand Weapons

Cavalry Kinbands

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Elven Lords = The lords of elven communities and their noble retainers ride magnificent warhorses into battle. Wood Elves favour roan and dappled horses, plaiting their manes and ornamenting their bridles with hair-plumes and jewels. May equip; Warhorse Barding
https://i.imgur.com/nBV29Cu.jpg 3rd Ed. Armies Book

Glade Knights = They are the name of Glade Rider champions in the tabletop, it makes sense if they are slightly better armoured (as well as being more powerful) horsemen. Perhaps these could use spears, shields and bows.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Glade_Riders
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_R...l5eUd2UjA/view

Glade Riders (Arcane Bodkins) = They are perhaps the greatest horse-warriors of all the world, their Elven reflexes allowing them to perform an incredible variety of seemingly reckless acts that are far beyond the abilities of other lesser races. Arcane Bodkins tear through armour, making it easier to wound heavily armoured opponents.

Glade Riders (Trueflight Arrows) = They are perhaps the greatest horse-warriors of all the world, their Elven reflexes allowing them to perform an incredible variety of seemingly reckless acts that are far beyond the abilities of other lesser races. Trueflight arrows have better accuracy over longer distances.

Horse Masters = A champion of the Glade Rider units.
https://i.imgur.com/ffbfpsk.png White Dwarf 272

Kindred of Equos = Glade Riders who use barding on their horses, this comes either in the form of animal pelts and leather, or warding painted onto their mounts. Otherwise they’re much the same as the glade riders. It’s from Citadel Journal.
https://www.scribd.com/doc/224785291/citadel-journal-34

Kindred Riders = Though a made up name, I feel it is appropriate to name them that way so that it separates them from the Glade Riders. In essence they are the same in stats, except Kindred Riders have spears not bows. Other variants include shields.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Glade_Riders
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_R...l5eUd2UjA/view

Warhawk Riders = They are unique, aerial cavalry employed by the armies of Athel Loren. Many large birds of prey live in Athel Loren, especially where it covers the foothills, ravines and crags of the Grey Mountains. These hawks and shrikes grow to far grander proportions than similar species found elsewhere in the world, though why this should be remains a mystery.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warhawk_Riders
https://i.imgur.com/9RxSrCW.png White Dwarf 272

Wind Riders = A champion version of the Warhawk riders, could make for a separate unit.

Spite Swarms

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Spite swarms are listed in the army book, but these are the different types of spites I was able to find information on. It could lead to a number of different types of spites that have different roles on the battlefield, or just a few variant units.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_R...l5eUd2UjA/view

Luminescents = Leave behind a magical residue wherever the go. Any weapon that they move over will gain a minor enchantment.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

Malevolents = is a term used for a vast array of spites who act as defenders of Athel Loren. Many Malevolents use small bows or poisoned darts. Getting wounded by a Malevolent can mean a long and painful death, or nightmarish comatose state that can last years.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

Mischiefs = also known as Marshlights, often appear as balls of light or as glowing miniature Elves with ragged wings. They fly in patterns that stultify viewers and, when feeling mischievous, they use this ability to lure travellers into bogs or off the edges of cliffs.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

Netlings = look like small, spider-like creatures. They often attach to a host and will protect them with a magical web.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

Radiants = have the ability to sap magic out of their enemies. They appear most commonly as simple blurred and glowing shapes, and sometimes as small humanoid figures. They do not commiserate with any mortal creatures, but only the most ancient forest spirits.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

Shrikes = appear as red-capped creatures or miniature knights and either ride insects or black birds, or flit about on razor-sharp wings. The fastest and deadliest of the Spites, they form a kind of warrior class. They target their enemies’ weak points expertly, aiming for the eyes and veins.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

Terrors = are cruel-hearted spites who delight in taking on frightening forms and scaring travelers. They find it especially amusing to frighten people to death.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

The Despairs = are three sister spites who are much feared in Athel Loren. They almost always appear to an individual to announce that their demise is imminent. They can take the forms of empty-eyed crones with twigs for hair, red-eyed ravens, or an old crone, a beautiful woman, and a small child.
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Spite

https://i.imgur.com/IRCJW8e.png White Dwarf 272

Dryads (Willow Aspect) = ”In their Willow aspect, Dryads change into creatures with green skin and extremely long yellowish green hair which hangs down around them like the leaves of the weeping willow tree. Their fingers extend into incredibly long, whip-like willow twigs. In hand-to-hand combat they entwine their fingers around the foe and grip his weapon making it difficult for him to wield it at all.”
http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dryad
https://i.imgur.com/IRCJW8e.png White Dwarf 272

Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

Incarnate Elemental of Beasts = Summoned through savage and secret rituals known to few humans outside the initiates of the Amber Order of Wizards — and dark lore has it the Bray Shamans of the unholy Chaos Beastmen herds — the Incarnate Elemental of Beasts is known in legend as the Bloody Hidesman, the Horned Man or the Faceless Hunter. It is a towering, half-human figure that embodies the ferocity and merciless hunger of the wild and contains within it the turbulent spirits of numberless predators, both animalistic and cruel.
Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum

Incarnate Elemental of Death = Those who call forth an Incarnate Elemental of Death risk bringing about their own untimely demise, for to summon such a fearsome creature is to invite death itself unto themselves. Eerily silent save for the whisperings of the grave that follow in its wake, the Incarnate Elemental of Death is a nightmarish apparition

Storm of Magic: The Hour of Shadows novel by C. L. Werner

Durthu’s Wargrove = The eldest of ancients had begun to glimpse fragments of the future - he could see the irreparable damage that the minions of Chaos were wreaking on the Weave. Thus did he awaken those gnarled titans who had fought at his side in ages past to serve as his lieutenants in an army of spirits greater than any seen for long centuries.

White Dwarf 309

Sisters of the Eternal Grove = The Sisters of the Eternal Grove were daughters of no less tree than the Oak of Ages itself, and its fire and might echoed through their being also.

http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wi..._Eternal_Grove

The Awakened = Named Tree Kin regiment from Return of the Lichemaster scenario.
White Dwarf 309

Wildkin = Drycha's army was a strange mix of the lost and the damned, of those forest spirits caught up in their mistress' flawed ideology, and those twisted by the seeping taint of Chaos. Not all were mad. Some were quite rational, if lost in self-delusion. Others were given to cruelty simply because it was their nature, or because the trees to which they were bound had been eaten away by malice or Morghur's creeping influence. Mad or otherwise, they were not opponents to be taken lightly - not since the days of Coeddil's rebellion had the elves needed to face so many forest spirits in battle.

The wood elves had never been so coy about godly worship as their estranged cousins, and had thrown themselves readily into rites of blood and sacrifice as contemplative prayer.

Scarloc’s Archers = In the mannish realms, Scarloc’s Archers were widely regarded as being amongst the finest sellswords that coin could hire. However, none of their paymasters had ever realised that Scarloc’s true payment had always been the opportunity to witness his paymasters’ armies in action and bring that information back to Athel Loren.

Skarloc's Wood Elf Scouts = "Skarloc's Wood Elf Scouts are based in the Laurelorn forest, and their exploits are legendary. Their self-appointed task is to defend the forest and its animals against the depredations of other races, and although the main targets of their guerrilla attacks have been the Goblinoid races, they have been known to drive away human settlers who have ventured too far into the forest."
https://i.imgur.com/MMdujOG.png White Dwarf 92

Shadow Bands of the Oblast = "Despite this, Kislev is not without small woods and forests, some of which are rumoured to be the homes of isolated Wood Elf communities. Such rumours are perhaps not without substance, as there are many folk tales that speak of shadowy bands of archers who have emerged from the forests to save Kislevite warriors from certain death at the hands of Beastmen."

The Bowmen of Oreon = "The Bowmen of Oreon earned eternal fame on the occasion when a huge Giant Champion challenged Oreon to single combat. Oreon accepted, and as the Giant strode out to do combat, his entire company launched a single volley of arrows, killing the Giant instantly. Although many people thought this a dirty trick, Oreon always maintained that the Giant had rancid breath, smelled utterly foul and deserved to die anyway."

From the first, they made it clear they intended to serve, whether he wished it or not, and insisted they be given quarters within the palace halls and rank within his court. More amused than outraged, he welcomed the witches into his retinue.

Special and Named Characters

Here will be contained a full list of every possible Legendary Lord or Legendary Hero that I could find for the Wood Elves, excluding those who are long dead. I have split them into different categories for each Kindred or Realm and whether they suit being Lords or Heroes, so it is easier to know which they are best suited to being added to, if someone wished to add them to the game. Also, there are a fair number that I couldn't place into one territory or other, so I guess they'd be free to put wherever someone wanted. Without further ado, here we go, bear in mind it is a work in progress.

Even from a distance, he could tell it was no natural denizen of Athel Loren, nor yet some strange manifestation of the fey.

Magical Weapons, Armour, Amulets, Scrolls and Other Items

This section deals in those magical items that can be used by this faction. This is by no means a full list, I doubt I'll ever get that, but it will provide modders with information if they wish to add new magical weapons, armour and items into the game to be used.

Common Magic Items

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Magical Weapons

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Asyendi's Bane = "This light and elegant bow is exceptionally well crafted, enhancing the abilities of skilful archers. Legend has it, however, that a malicious spirit dwells within the body of the weapon, ever eager to punish its wielder if a shot misses its target."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

Basilisk Blade = ”Even after death the bones of a Basilisk poison the world around them, exuding a foul aura that can putrefy flesh and corrode metal. Weapons fashioned from the rancid bones recovered from Basilisk remains are terrifyingly deadly, but thankfully rare as they are just as deadly to their wielders as they are to their victims.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

Blade of Fury = The user gains attacks.
https://i.imgur.com/qM8DuzN.png Warhammer Chronicles 2003

Blades of Loec = "The swirling and delicate patterns inscribed into these matched swords assume a life of their own when sunlight falls upon them, dazzling and distracting the bearer's opponent."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

Bow of Loren = Can fire multiple missiles at once, all magical.
https://i.imgur.com/qM8DuzN.png Warhammer Chronicles 2003

Cold Iron Blade = ”Ancient lore claims that only iron weapons shaped without the use of fire can harm the spirits that infest certain regions of the world. Only the strongest of smiths can perform such a feat, hammering the metal into shape with brute strength before such artefacts are enchanted. Though the results are always crudely shaped, their potency against the ephemeral creatures is unquestionable.”
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

Daith's Reaper = "The very pinnacle of Daith's forging skill, a more finely crafted and deadly blade than this is not to be found within the realm of Athel Loren, nor for many leagues past its boundaries."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

Dawnblade = ”It was a long, slender blade, crafted in the style of the asrai. Just looking at it, Thalos could appreciate the delicate balance of the curved hilt and the leaf-shaped blade. This was the work of a master swordsmith, beyond anything he had ever seen, even in the halls of the mightiest elf lords. The hilt had been fashioned from heartwood, smoothed and polished to a mirror-like sheen. The grip was studded with tiny nodules of wood to provide a tight hold in the swordsman’s hand. The blade itself was the strangest thing. It wasn’t forged from any metal Thalos had ever seen. Instead, it seemed composed of gemstone, a glasslike substance possessed of an orange-brown-yellow colouring. The blade was somewhat translucent, the roots supporting the sword visible behind the leaf-shaped edge. It was amber, drawn from the Golden Pool!”
Storm of Magic: The Hour of Shadows novel by C. L. Werner

Hunting Spear = Counts as a magic hand weapon in melee but replaces the characters bow. It is thrown in combat with the power of a ballista, but magically returns to its user.

Rageth's Wildfire Blades = "When drawn, the blades of these swords burn with a magical flame that cannot be extinguished."

The Bow of Loren = "This ancient and enchanted longbow is said to be strung with a single hair taken from the head of Ariel, Queen of Loren.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

The Dawnspear = "When the Wild Hunt rides from Athel Loren, the Elven prince chosen as Orion's equerry carries the Dawnspear, a powerful talisman as old as the alliance between the Asrai and Athel Loren. Each time the Dawnspear tastes blood, it unleashes a pulse of brilliant light, blinding the wielder's foes with its brilliance."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

The Hunter's Talon = "Originally crafted for Altathir, a master of the Waywatchers in ages past, this longbow has a gnarled and twisted appearance that belies the uncanny precision of which it is capable."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

The Lash of Itzaotyl = ”Used by the servants of the Old Ones to subdue the massive beasts that stalked the world at the dawn of time, the ancient Last of Itzaotyl ensnares all it touches with an unbreakable tendril of pure magical essence.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...V96TFBvQ1dNZGc Monstrous Arcanum

The Spear of Twilight = "When this spear strikes, the fury and rage of the wielder is channelled into the body of the foe with appalling and destructive force."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

The Spirit Sword = "Within this crystal blade are bound a host of yowling and nebulous entities that seek to ensnare other souls within their iridescent prison. Only with a great effort of will can the bearer retain control over the Spirit Sword, for if his resolve is not strong enough, it will be his essence that the blade steals, not that of his souls."
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book
https://i.imgur.com/qM8DuzN.png Warhammer Chronicles 2003

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...290REo2Nmc1U1E Warhammer Armies Wood Elf 6th Edition Army Book

Scintillating Shield = ”In the ancient legends of Estalia, retold so many times in their origin is now forgotten, heroes would be gifted with shields which were so highly polished they blinded their foes and deflected the deadly gaze of the Basilisks and Cockatrice that were the scourge of that Land in ancient days. Scintillating Shields, whether they be the items spoken of in legend or more recent creations wrought by wizard-craft, fetch a prince’s ransom when rumours of Basilisk or Cockatrice attack spread.”

Wyrmscale Armour of the Deep = ”A glistening coat of Merwyrm scales, the enchantment on this armour keeps it coated with a shimmering Layer of briny sea water. Not only do the iron-hard scales deflect sword and arrow, but the scales still recall their home in the icy deeps of the ocean and grant their wearer passage through water and foil fiery assaults upon him.”

Faithless Charm = ”The degenerate Ettin hill clans have been known to hang these small craven charms in the dismal northern woods, warding away those who would trespass on the Ettin’s miserable existence. Each is an embodiment of the unholy curse that afflicts the very souls of the Ettin. Those foolish enough to carry one with them for any length of time find their senses sharpened - until they lose control and the curse consumes them too.”

Warpscale Pendant = ”Crafted from the deformed scales of a Warpfire Dragon, these eerily worked talismans are the product not of twisted Skaven ingenuity as some suspect but rather of some unseen agency believed to be connected to the ruling cabals of the Tilean City-states. Ensorcelled to protect the wearer against weapons fuelled by warpstone, many Skaven wizards covet such items as a measure against assassination by their own kind - though the fear Warpfire Dragon’s cause among the warpstone-laden holds of the Skaven keeps them rare.”

Acorns of the Ages = "The Oak of Ages grows acorns all year round, but sheds them only when Ghyran, the Wind of Life, reaches its height. These magical seeds are diligently gathered by Ariel's handmaidens, and planted in those regions of the forest that have been ravaged by war or wildfire. Such is the bountiful magic in these acorns that they can grow from seed to sapling, to towering oak in a matter of seconds. This magic too is the reason that the seeds must be gathered swiftly upon their fall. The last squirrel that consumed an acorn from the Oak of Ages stomped much of King's Glade flat, and was brought down only by the combined armies of three high realms."

When a storm of magic breaks, it isn’t merely battlefield sorcery that increases in power. All manner of spells and items dormant for decades suddenly crackle into vibrant life, eager to have their power unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Chief among these are Kadon’s Scrolls of Binding; each scroll was crafted with a particular beast in mind. These came from the Warhammer Supplement: Monstrous Arcanum, in the chart in that book it listed each monster for each faction as either Abhorrent, Binding Scroll or Kinship, these monsters here are all but those that are Abhorrent to this faction. The Scrolls of Binding that may be used vary from race to race, the following are those that may be used by this faction:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WhndVE0VklZZDA Storm of Magic

Black Book of Ibn Naggazar = ”Ibn Naggazar was a brilliant, if somewhat maniacal, Arabyan sorcerer. Whilst it is unknown whether his madness sprang from isolation, too many attempts at creating intoxicating ‘elixirs’ or the honeyed promises of whispering Daemons, there can be no doubt that he was utterly insane. No rational wizard would create a book inked on the skin of his closest family, much less constantly follow its advice.”

Blade of Last Resort = ”This sword has ever had a twisted sense of humour, seeking out overmatched heroes and aiding them against a chosen foe.

Fozzrik’s Floating Fortress = ”Though Fozzrik’s magical aptitude led him to become a wizard, he never lost his love for architecture. Many of the Old World’s cities have been built around immaculate structures that Fozzrik created from stone and sorcery, but more prized by far are his floating fortresses - buildings that move under their own power and sprout defences to repel intruders.”

Giantkin Helm = ”After constantly being told ‘We expect big things from you’ by his Elector Count father, Heinrich von Roth spent much of the family fortune commissioning an artefact that would help him achieve greatness.

However, legends tell of the Archmage Sycamo, ‘The Daemon Carpenter of Estalia’, who not only perfected a method of reanimating trees from their residual elements, but also filling them with astounding vigour. Much of Sycamo’s work has, fortunately, been lost to the intervening aeons, but the Living Deadwood Staff never stays missing for long…”

Some say that the Rockcharmer’s Flute was used to destroy the old Dwarfen realms, others that it sank the fabled realm of Seidon.

Silverstone Axe = ”In the ancient barrows that dot the Empire, huge enchanted axes forged of gromril, known to ancient men as Silverstone, have been found. Inert until the storms of magic howl, these axes are so heavy that only the strongest warriors can lift them and then impact shakes the ground, knocking armoured warriors from their feet while against wizards their effects are even more potent as the winds of magic lash and recoil at their blows. When a storm of magic rages these weapons are brought to the battlefield once again to bring down the titanic beasts set loose upon the world.” - Magic Weapon

The Crucible of Horrors = ”No one knows from whence the Crucible of Horrors came, but contained within the flash of twisted meteoric iron is a vortex of seething black energy which screams like the torment of damned souls. This deadly artefact has been sought out by many down the centuries, and it has passed through the hands of many tyrants, arch-sorcerers, wizards and kings, and at its use the destruction of cities and slaughter of armies has been laid. When unleashed the power of the crucible is erratic and dangerously unstable, but it can unleash devastation and even create nightmarish doppelgangers of slain monsters to fight at the wielder’s bidding. The power of the Crucible of Horrors is treacherous however, as more than one would be conqueror has found to their cost.” - Enchanted Items

The White Sistrum = ”There are many night-haunted legends originating from the foetid jungles and deadly wastes of the far hinterlands of Khuresh. Stories abound of the dread Snake Men and the foul and nightmarish Blood Naga queens who rule there, and it is a realm where men are no more than hunted prey, and blood and souls are the only coin in trade. Rarely do artefacts of this fell civilisation reach the Old World and all are steeped in blood and misunderstood power. One such artefact is the White Sistrum, a strange ivory-grown, drum shaped like an hourglass, whose discordant music brings madness and death, and evokes the terrible rites of the Naga.” - Arcane Item
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...WEzbzJSWkZEWFU Realms of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness

Windcatcher Prism = ”This peculiar bauble was crafted long ago, its purpose very much tied to storms of magic.

Lore Information Regarding the Wood Elves

When a series is being continuously updated for a quarter of a century there is bound to be a massive amount of lore that has been created for it. This is an attempt to collate important snippets of lore that I have found during my research into units. I am presenting these in note form rather than in quote form due to the sheer amount of information that is potentially able to be displayed here, but I hope that it will prove useful or interesting to you regardless.

General Information

- Wood elf lords are great hunters and hawkers.
- Their falconers tame and train birds of prey both for hunting and for war.

- They are quite rare.
https://i.imgur.com/gZuZcuH.jpg 3rd Ed. Armies Book

- Many wood elves fight as archers, using a bow fashioned from the lornalim tree which grows in the woods of the Old World

https://i.imgur.com/pMFdpWd.jpg 3rd Ed. Armies Book

- What most races think of as elvish is in fact a pidgin-tongue, baby-talk used by the shorter lived and elven young.
- Elves have both mild claustrophobia, due to never experiencing small, dark places, and mild agoraphobia.
- Elves are mildly uneasy in such situations.
- Elves constantly mull over, and treasure, memories of their pasts.
- Due to the elves eidetic memories they need to 'dump' their memory to be able to cope, doing so with a practice called Bran Wa Shin.
- Away rom their own kind, elves tend to go mildly berserk in their fun-seeking since the traditional pleasures of the arts are no longer available to them.
- No elf is ever truly happy in human society.
- Many elves go through a short phase as adventurers, seeing the rest of the world.
- Elves enjoy giving presents, especially creating beautiful ones to give to others.
