Elemental Archers study a unique Sylvan method of combat that weaves elemental magic and weaponry to produce supernatural effects. Elemental Archers are some of their most elite warriors among the Sylvan. They stand watch over the fringes of the Fey Wilds, keeping a keen eye out for trespassers and using magic-infused arrows to defeat monsters and invaders before they can reach the Sylvan Cities. Over the centuries, the methods of these archers have been learned by members of other races who can also balance the forces of nature aptitude with archery
