The Engwealdar, Irylaandar, and the Sylvandar (Elves)

Descended from the Fey, Elves are reclusive and few in number. The reclusive wood elves of Albion are called the Engwealdar if they inhabit the misty forests of Engweald or the Iyarlandar if they hail from the dark forests of Iyarlaan. Wood elf havens are ruled by princes and princesses, but there is no singular king or queen to unify them. The high elves are called the Sylvandar, and are known for their skill in sailing and crafting boats. They live in small coastal enclaves and are more sociable than their wood elf brothers and sisters.

Elves do not have surnames; however, they are proud of where they live and refer to their homes in their names, as in “Erannon of Emerald Glade” and “Nimmeth of Astramordan.”

Elf, High: You grew up on the coast, and have sailed the high seas since you were a small child. You are naturally curious about the world, and a born adventurer. The Night of Wild Magic wrought a terrible transformation upon Albion, and you might seek to further understand or undo what has occurred.

Elf, Wood: You grew up in the forests of Engweald or Iyarlaan, but unlike your reclusive kin, you wish to experience more of the world and kill time with other races. Maybe you feel it’s high time the elves came out of hiding and took their place as one of the proud peoples of Albion, or, if you are a prince or princess, maybe you seek to show your people that you are worthy enough to be their sovereign ruler.
