Wood Elves Species in Elema | World Anvil

Wood Elves

Wood Elves is the second elven variation that appeared roughly 4000 years after the events of the The Mistral War . They are thought to be the descendants of the youngest ruler and those who followed him when he left. Because they were discovered in the location where the brother went, and their connection to nature. According to the younger king, people were growing too disconnected from nature. That while they left and went out in the world.

This variety is distinguished by brown skin or olive skin that resembles tree trunks or dirt. They have more natural hair colors than natural eye hues than other Elves. They also have shorter lives and have more laid-back demeanor. For the most part, they have an affinity for earth magic and resistance to earth. As well as a weakness to fire magic. These are the primary distinctions between them and their High Elves ancestors.

Wood Elves fared better in society than Dark Elves. Many societies felt they were just High Elves that they had gotten a tan. When they discovered they were a new variety of Elves, they assumed they were a clan of druids or shamans who had been blessed by a spirit or the Goddess [Chikyu . As a result, most civilizations handle them as they would any other species they came across. They only needed to discover their quirks and styles.

Wood Elves promote the concept of all Elves being slow to react and thinking a lot longer about their action. Even in their youth, they appear to be relaxed, calm, and well-thought-out. There's a statement that goes: "The strong oak tree didn't just become strong overnight it's slowly developed into a mighty tree by taking its time". As a result, every decision and requirement should be evaluated. It seems they are heavily thinking and love to take in all in. It's like an instinct where they want to live one with nature and become a part of it.

Genetics and Reproduction

A male and a female member of that species at the age of 170 to 400 are what conceive a new Wood Elves. Twelve months after the male fertilizes the female, a Wood Elves child is born. Wood Elves can only conceive a child at ages between 170 and 400 years old going for both genders. After their 400-year birthday, they seem not to be able to reproduce anymore.

Growth Rate & Stages

As one of the oldest life span species, Wood Elves are considered infants between the ages of zero to eight, during which time they were completely dependent on their parents for food and care. They gradually pick up mobility and world awareness.

The next stage is kids who learn, play, and grow between the ages of 9 to 19. Although kids are not as dependent on their parents at this point, they are still present to meet the majority of their needs. However, young kids are inquisitive and beginning to understand others and themselves. These kids also remember everything and will use it against you so be careful.

Between the ages of 20 to 45, their bodies begin to evolve and develop into adults, which is referred to as the teenage years. Their physical body begins to gain figure, height, weight, and muscles. In most situations, this is also where natural magic develops. In most circumstances, they will also begin to establish their identity and become less reliant on their parents.

From the ages of 45 to 175, they are in their adulthood also called Bright years, their bodies have matured, and they have a good sense of what their natural magic will do. It will continue to develop as they age, but in most cases, it has a set of talents. This is also the time when they find what they want to do with their life.

Seedling is a Special time for Wood Elves. The age range is from 175 to 400 years. This is the time when their Wood Elves' bodies will allow them to reproduce. These are the years when Wood-Elves start families and their instincts to find a significant other and start a family are more stronger than usual. This instinct will not overpower their identity or desires but rather make some of what they are attracted to more visible to them and the want for a family more appealing.

They are elders between the ages of 400 and 550, often known as their Wittering years; their bodies have gradually begun to slow down and become weaker, as have their magical abilities if they are not kept up with. Wood Elves areas seem to be in the mental state of High Elves in old age. So when  Wood Elves hit the senior stage their personalities will begin to deteriorate. They tend to zone out and overthink or reminisce. If we think High Elves take a long time to act in their old age, Wood Elves have them beaten by a long shot.

Ecology and Habitats

Wood Elves prefer to live in grasslands, wooded areas, and other forested areas. As a sentient species, they can dwell anywhere, but they are drawn to these particular types of places since they are mentally and physically comfurt by them. Many of their kingdoms or societies prefer to integrate with the fauna surrounding them or assimilate so much of it that it appears to be an ancient city taken over by plant life.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Wood Elves are an omnivore for species that need both plants and animals to survive. The body's got to eat the right amount of each type of vegetable and fruit meat and other products to keep their body healthy. The bodies to get a little bit more nourishment from vegetables and fruits. They don’t need to eat as much as some other medium sentient species because of their stained frame.

Their Eyes have several extra cones in them to take in more light. This enables them to see well in low-light conditions. They still need a little light to see. Their hearing is from 20Hz to 30kHz. With that Wood Elves species are in the can hear a little higher range. Wood Elves can use their scents of smell very well. It can pick up a million different smells, but it's not as beneficial as other sentient species. Limited in their processing and range. They possessed the sense of touch to help them identify their bodies and things in the world, both good and harmful. This sense tells you what has wounded them or helps them feel at ease. With their tall ear, they can also tell slight differences in the weather. Finally, Wood Elves is able to taste the five basic categories of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
