The Wood Elves are a tall, green-skinned people bound to the ancient power of the **Verdant Heart**, the colossal tree spirit at the core of Elderwood. Standing near seven feet in height, they retain a grace and strength born of their deep magical heritage.
They dwell in vast **canopy strongholds**, woven from living wood and enchanted vines, hidden high above the forest floor. Their lives are guided by the whispers of the Verdant Heart, which they revere as both god and guardian.
To humans, they are implacable foes. The Wood Elves see mankind as a blight upon the world — reckless, ruinous, and unworthy of the forest’s gifts. Any human who dares to trespass Elderwood is hunted without mercy, slain as an offering to the Heart.
Though they share elven blood with the Twilight Elves and cursed Goblins, the Wood Elves are utterly devoted to the wild, a people both beautiful and terrifying, sustained by the will of the forest itself.
