Forest Soul - Background
As a forest soul of the elvenari, you were raised among the elven people residing in Leng's Great Forest. Your people possess a deep affinity for nature and the elements. While sharing many traits with high-elves, such as magical abilities and heightened senses, elvenari stand out with their taller stature, elongated ears, and distinct hair, skin, and eye colors. While some Great Forest elvenari coexist with other elves in a diverse community within Leng, historical complications have led to a divide between them and the Eshana elves, resulting in most elvenari choosing to live isolated lives amidst the untamed wilderness.
