Elf

Elves, or more specifically Wood Elves are the surface-dwelling species of elf in Alassia. They dwell in great forests, and only rarely venture out. They are not known to build cities, but rather live in harmony with the forest as hunter-gatherers in a tribal society. They are known for their woodwork, metalsmithing, and jewelry, as well as for their poetry, music and swordsmanship. They are particularly adept at a certain type of magic worked through song, which is not as powerful as the magic of humans or their underdark-dwelling cousins the dark elves, but can be performed without drawing on the energy of a relic.
