My fellow wood elves, how did things went so well for us?
i love viewing every aspect of the human experience through the lens of petty tribalism! my team best! my team best! no deeper thought or analysis!
Banker gnomes use language like this to make you abnadon your tribe.
Liberal hands typed that post
Yep, that's pretty much how I play my wood elves
>”hello there my fellow elves”
Wood elves always the ones pushing for more human immigration into elf-lands but never into wood elf forests, curious?!
We have actual beautiful homes.I don't care if high elves' pretentious shitter places or dark elves' actual putrid ditches gets infested with humans.Just get these frickers away from OUR forests.
Hippies hug trees.
I hate them.
>the nature is bad now
there's literally not one , but 2(two) classes that are all about nature.
Checkmate, human.
Chill things come to those who chill for them
>an image of a black female elf in a forest .png
No elves in my setting, just humans. Checkmate, knife-ears.
>he seperates his Elves into many races
OP is a homosexual.
Friendly reminder that gatekeeping is easy when your dwarves are knife-eared. Keeps out the redditors like a charm.
>one race:the elf race
do sun/moon elves really
Wood elves are well adjusted and in tune with their shit. Other elves are too introspective and corrupt. Pull up an oversized toadstool, it's flute time
Live by the arrow, die by the arrow, treegga.
>shoot a few wooden arrows to ward intruders off
>bombarded by ballistics in return
this is why humans are called orc Jr.
All elves look the same to me, stupid hippies, I can bet their women have entire forests under their skirts.
we have razors.
We are not troglodytes.
We just love nature.
Elves have no body hair, or facial hair besides eyebrows. No shaving required.
>I can bet their women have entire forests under their skirts.
Is this supposed to be a bad thing?
>Is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A friend went inside one and his body was never found.
look at the fricking skin tone you racist tard
>high elves are as pale as paper
>dark elves are black
>wood elves have actual healthy skin tone
it's that easy
>Blue-white marble / metallic gold.
>Polished obsidian
>Dark brown with green undertones.
>blue white marble
do high elves really describe their anemic skin like that
Yes? Elves should not have human skintones. If they do, they're probably filthy half-humans.
High elves can't survive a hot summer day outside without sunburn.
That's not healthy.
Sure they can. You can't assume fallen celestials have the same biological problems as amphibious diving apes.
Maybe not 'take damage' sunburn, but you frickers mostly does dungeon work for a reason.
You guys are frail, weak, and fragile.
>But....but muh training!
Stop acting like wood elves are slackers who didn't train as well.Plus, a pile of shit with mad swords skills is still a pile of shit
>But.....but muh magic!
Maybe, but when a party's in danger they are going to hope that a helpful druid is here instead of an even more fragile glass cannon wizard that's going to die sooner than human mages
>But......we are smart!
No.You guys have autism.Wood elves are the ones that actually has wisdom.
Yall high frickers act like you are aesirs but at the end of the day you are just nerd versions of us
Wood elves are smelly
>Elves should not have human skintones
Lol, lmao even
>T:drow
>look at the fricking skin tone
I do not discriminate based on skin tone, only inferior species that are not human.
I am a firm believer in speciesism.
>Humantard
Your kind sucks.Its like if high elves and orcs had bastard babies.
>tree singing
>tree squirting
>all elves looks the same
kys
>we
Stop larping, talk about games.
>Us?
Dickhead, you're not a wood elf. You're a most likely fat loser who spends too much of your free time caring about shit that ain't even real. If you were a wood elf you most likely wouldn't give a crap about this argument because you'd be too busy integrating yourself to the environment.
listen patrolling the forest is boring so I am typing this shit from a Bush rn to kill time
don't tell chief about this ok
>don't tell chief about this ok
That's exactly what I'm going to do. Do you have any idea how environmentally hazardous electronic devices are? Wood elf internet is the use of mycelium for information-spread, not silicon-based networking computers.
don't you dare
do you know how fricking hard it is for a wood elf to get phones?I spent like 3 months gathering herbs to secretly trade for this old second hand one
what am I supposed to do during patrol when chief confiscated it?
Using OUR internet?Its slower than the worst human gadgets and all my friends talk about is their equally boring patrol experiences and shit from their druid lessons
At that point I am going to resort to wildshape and frick some animals like a filthy human druid bro
please don't snitch, I need my sanity
So called 'wood elf supremacists' when they have to live the way of their kind for real:
I am a wood elf though.
I fail to see the problem with the high & dark elves "flaws", honestly that's why I like them.
haughty, ornery b***hes.
I'd say it depends on the setting (as per usual), one setting has them be vegetarian because all animals are children of (insert forest god) and be good at tree magic, and then you have settings like Elder Scrolls where they fully use every part of the animal in some weird reverse vegan way of life and they're one of the worst races when it comes to magic, wood elves aren't really beyond flanderization though, especially since they're usually quickly written off as hippies/inoffensive tree huggers, ironically I think Warhammer did it quite well making them a decent enough threat to anyone not part of their (sub)species
Thats a big problem I see with settings that have wood elves, their reliance on said woods means outside of the occasional interesting character they never leave their woods, they're like british celts, interesting but there's no way to use them outside of a story placed specifically on the british isles
When I was a kid, I didn't care for them, but I loved High and Dark Elves. Now days I'd say they're my favourite. Maybe it's because I've done a lot more hikes and nature walks. But I'd say they interest me the most.
>Thats a big problem I see with settings that have wood elves, their reliance on said woods means outside of the occasional interesting character they never leave their woods, they're like british celts, interesting but there's no way to use them outside of a story placed specifically on the british isles
Can be an issue. If you bake in something like a Worldtree/roots into your system, you do give your Tree Huggers a more epic reason to actually be involved in the world. You do actually need to make use of it though (unlike Warhammer lol). Alternatively, it's fine having them be more secluded as a people, and instead have only small groups or adventures play a role in the setting. Maybe they've left to hunt a dragon that was fricking shit up innawoods, and the party can deal with this little hunting enclave for info or aid.
>they're like british celts
dooooooooooooooooooooot
nature rocks
>itt gi'ish knoife-ears call otha gi'ish knoife-ears gi'ish knoife-ears
Wood boys got bad gubbins I finds.
Hey, greenskin, how would you feel if i call you a goblin?a grot?A fricking gretchin?
Do you know what's wrong with being a forest elf? termites in our homes, which makes sense because we live in trees.
>He can't cast spells to get rid of em
Brother.......
Termites are chill actually, they're just doing their thing. Did you really need that table anyway? Our ancestors did fine eating on the cold hard ground
If I showed some ancient Nordic druid this thread they'd be confused as Hell. Elves in the ancient texts were nothing like this.
What the frick is this?
Why is this elven maiden dressing up as a dark elf?
Does her parents know about this?,
That's just what she looks like without her armor.
Thanks nature
>ancient nordic druid
>nordic druid
i declare you cringe and ergi, consider drowning in a bog
I'm talking about the real life Nordic peoples, the Scandinavians, the people whose mythology gave us the terms "elves" and "dwarves"
the real life nordic people didn't have druids you moron
Motherfrickers will really look at this man and say
>nah, can't be a druid. That'd be silly!
Correct. He's a regular Norse pagan. Druids are ancient Celtic religion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druid
He's technically correct. That's why you jump over to the mutt island that is Albion. We've got both Germanics with their elves, dwarves, and giants (eoten/ettin) and trolls (trow/drow), and we've got Celts with Druids, and Aoi Si. And chariots.
Druid, gothi, who gives a shit. All those pagan priests were the same.
Yesyesyes, it was the vølver instead of druids, and the ellefolk have hollow backs and take human children in exchange for their own. Classic stuff.
And I like how the fair folk, elves, fairies, santas little elves and other gnome and halfling-like peoples are all descended from the same european folklore memes going back and forth across the continent over millenia.
You know, just as a reminder you treegers are indeed related to and in essence overgrown garden gnomes.
Vikings thought the women of every fantasy race looked hot.
They had good taste
>The blandest, warm hearted race is superior
You forgot sea elves, light elves, tree elves, shadow elves, chaos elves, order elves, space elves
Also, half elves. The best thing about half elves is that they're caused by sex.
>halfBlack person
not elves
you get made into cannibals for edge points every other setting
no?
we are just territorial
Hi!
I'm a human!
My name is John Lawnmore!
Hi elfs! Hi all elfs here!
I have been thinking I want an elf wife so I will be traveling into your various lands looking around for the right gal for me!
Where should I go first?
I can't wait to journey to your lands!
Please teach me some cool elf customs to impress the ladies! Haha!
Hi John.
I suggest going to Mirkwood or the Forest of Arden.
Just walk in and have a walk around, you don't need to worry about sticking to the path, you'll find friendly locals in your area if you just continue walking.
As for customs to impress the ladies, I suggest wearing a jacket or shirt with concentric rings on a cross. Maybe something in red or orange.
Yes! I will be wearing my purple blazer with the crimson crest of my city on the back!
I have great skill with the sword and my [Enchanted Blade] will help me out in dispatching many great spiders and other forest beasts!
I hope I will find the wood-elf maidens to be as tight and docile as I fantasize them being!
Mellon, dude!
>oh look it is an elf thread
>Wood elves are superior
>mfw
Also:
>implying being "PoS Hedonists who was[SIC] treated like prostitutes, evil bastards and edgelords in media" is a bad thing
now excuse me as I go back to read 'War of the Spider Queen', because unlike wood elves drow actually get to be the main characters in their own book(series)
drows literally frick demons.
People call us zoophiles when only the insane ones does it and these dark motherfrickers are fricking literal embodiment of evil and chaos 24/7(which just happened to look like animals) to get bastard children
Drow women are literally built for surface men.
t. grey gnome.
This, they want to frick upwards. Half-drow are rare for a reason.
>half elves have a literal dick head
serve those fakers right
Drow have a really weird relationship with surface elves, it's like the main conflict between the different drow religions could be summarized as:
>should you slay or lay the elf?
>Never got twisted in media
Too busy jerkin your gherkin to see the spiral.
>Implying always being a piece of shit is a bad thing
>Implying being a prostitutemongering, evil edgelord is a bad thing
I'm laughing in between whipping my slaves OP. Laughing.
evil
They are the best type because they are the closest to the original myth
Dark Elves also existed in Norse myth, just not necessarily in the sense that they were Evil Spider fanatics.
I prefer space elves
>eldars
basically if drows and high elves had babies and they got the worst off both parents
>If Drow and high elf had babies
Technically that's a possibility, practically I have yet to meet a single character like that anywhere
>Not like a Drow would admit to being the result of such a liaison
Drow with eye colors other than red are surface elf rape babies
You know there are exceptions, like Drizzt
Who is a regular rape baby
Surface elf haplogroups. That drow bloodline is SURFACED.COM
I did have that headcanon that Zak's mom was an elf and the purple eyes just skipped a generation and the other got lucky
It would certainly explain his undrow-like behavior and why he liked killing other Drow so much
But there's like zero hint on that in Canon (I'm not through the series yet) so it remains my personal headcanon
What manga is this from?

Kys, you leafloving, beardless, knife eared prick. A honest day’s labour in the mines or the forges would work yer frail bones broken
hey, don't be so short sighted!Stop holding on your tiny pieces of grudges, can't you?
wood elves don't live on trees.
We build houses around them.
did he got burnt
No
no
Sorry but the closest to an elf adjacent thing I care about are Gerudo. I just want a girl taller than me
What have the Asrai got that the Asur or Druchii don't do better?
Better shooting and skirmishing.
Better border patrol.
I prefer them myself, high elves are just "humans plus" but wood elves are more their own thing.
HB dark elves
Representing my people... uh, one-two!
>elvish music plays
Feasts we hold often,
The trees are our walls,
Their leaves are our roof,
The forest's our feast hall.
When the wood wine flows,
Sometimes I can't help myself,
I shout out loud so y'all know:
Feels good to be a Wood Elf.
>elvish chorus sings: "feels good to be a wood elf"
Feels good to be a wood elf,
Much better than a hood rat,
Nicer even than a good cat,
Where in the woods my people at?
>wood elves suddenly emerge in vast numbers from concealment behind the abundant vegetation of the forest
Feels good to be a wood elf.
>elvish chorus sings: "feels good to be a wood elf"
Not Iron Elves.
>Noble, but life philosophy based around the control of nature into more acceptable living conditions.
>Masters of all things smithing and technological. Every armour piece or weapon is a unique work of artisan's art.
>Long lived due to disconnect with nature, but also weaker than average to it due to long years of disconnect.
>Skin a pallid near grey, due to this.
>Require their environments to be controlled for comfortable living, and their armour, enchanted and tooled to them, is a near constant companion to their flesh outside their halls and castles.
How can wood elves win anything if it was never a competition in the first place?

kids will either be full drow because drow genetics are too strong, and your entire family line will become literally BLACKED
or half-drow and nobody likes half-drow, drow will hate you because you're a filthy mudblood and the surface sees you as a full drow because they're too dumb to differentiate between full and half-drow
Counterpoint: drowess creampies
Wood elves are simply the best elves, and one of the best races overall
>bawds
Hey, it's not our fault humans are perfect for one-life stands.
all elves are bawds, ALL of them, no exceptions, wood elves aren't any better than the others
Dwarf please.
This thread is a great example of why fantasy racism sucks. Nobody knows how to do anything with it except “race X bad” “nuh huh race Y bad” and that is negative amounts of interesting.
Its fine for children I guess.
As a DM, I almost always favor woodelves because I'm kind of a hippie like that. Even had a setting with High elves actually descending FROM wood elves because high elves wanted to become a race of immortals but wood elves were perfectly okay with their mortality, also are the only elven group humans actually get along with and, surprisingly, manage to get humans to leave their woods alone for the most part.
