You were raised in a tightly-knit and remote community of wood elves in the High Forest. Your elders taught you the ways of the wild, showed you how to hunt but also how to live in harmony and accordance with nature. The animals of the forest are your family and the tall trees of the forest your home. You could never imagine yourself leaving and be anywhere else but protected by the green canopies that grew up under, but tragedy has disrupted your peace and forced you to travel to strange and new places.
