Wyld Elves

During the Epoch of Magic, when the Elven race were split between the origin and the purpose of magic, the Wild Elves choose to isolate themselves from the rest of their kin. They retreated into the west, into a great forest that had existed since time immemorial.

Wyld Elves are those who chose to fight the Empire, they refused to see their people and cultures become part of it. For a long time they fought, determined they would never submit. These battles moved deeper into the heartlands of the Elves and consumed many of their cities and sacred sites. When it became clear that they could not win against the sheer might of the Imperial forces they fled to the wild places where the large armies of the Empire could not easily follow. This started a guerrilla style war that is still going on today.

Some Wyld Elves hold a deep grudge against the Empire, but not as deep as against the Drow and Dark Elves. Some Wyld Elves believe that if they had not fled, then together they could have beaten the Imperial Forces. The old grudges do not hold for all Wyld Elves though, there are other groups who just wish to live as their ancestors did and as long as the Empire does not concern them they do not bother it.

Costume
All elves need elven ear tips. A Wyld elf would wear the colours of nature focussing on greens and browns, this is also practical for blending into the forest.
