Wood Elves
We are blessed by Kor and all the wonders he has wrought in this world. Our northern cousins rage and fume about the ancient times. But we live in the present. The glories of nature surround us and we are glad. We do not fear chaos. We do not fear order. We simply live our lives, embracing the world and all life. Fear is the true enemy. We have never forgotten that.
- High Priestess Wynrell
Culture
Culture and cultural heritage
Most wood elf villages are also near a stone circle. Wood elves tend to have many druids and rangers in their midst and those two groups act as protectors within the forest realms.
Shared customary codes and values
The wood elves value nature and its preservation above all other things. Of course what is defined as "nature" is often up to interpretation. They tend to remain in their villages, secreted away deep in forests or swamps and only interact with others when they must.
Art & Architecture
Most of their art and structures are formed from living trees.
Common Taboos
Wood elves will avoid harming trees whenever possible. When they must use wood, they only do so with permission of the tree, and do what they can to minimize the harm they inflict upon the tree.
Common Myths and Legends
These elves believe they are doing their best to balance the desires of the three great gods into one path of life. They wield Yeno's knowledge, Kor's love for life, and Ashtyr's desire to project. For most Wood Elves, this makes them the closest and most holy of the race.

Just out of curiosity, how would your Wood and Brass elves interacted with each other? Do they despite the viewpoint of each other? or do they respect teh other because of the same heritage, but can't really comprehend what the other do (one is in full horde-mode the others in self-isolation quite the opposites) could be a fine additon to both articles to add a thought or two about that within Culture
Good points. I'll develop those further as I go along. The short answer is the Brass Elves do not respect anyone who does not share their viewpoint. The Wood elves may offer to listen to the Brass Elves, if the Brass elves would put down their swords and try to reason. There is an event that occurs that has created different realities for these groups, and they are separated geographically. I'll have more details as I flesh out the time lines and geography. Thanks again for your interest and questions!
Thanks for the Info, Im looking forward to read more about your World! Espacially how everything unfold (the slavery of elf for expample. -> very cool idea!)
