Quendi (a brief introduction to elves)

Quendi (elves)

Once a proud and prosperous people, the Quendi are a shadow of what they once were. Once they freely roamed all the surface lands, and even the seas. This has changed drastically, as they now are largely found only in large forests where they can survive and thrive without encountering other humanoids.

Though there are other ‘species’ of elf, most surfacers have only encountered the Quendi. Considered by some to be “True Elves”, most Quendi try to live quiet, peaceful lives in seclusion from other races.

The Quendi are migratory, and travel in clans ranging from five to thirty families. These families are led by a shaman, and literally live off the land. Most elves are experienced in the druidic arts, and are capable of creating dwelling places out of nearly any living flora, with the most powerful able to create entire living mansions.

Elves tend to wear leather clothing decorated with bone and natural inks. Though experts at crafting simple weapons from the land around them, most elves have taken up using steel and iron weapons they’ve traded for, purchased, or acquired in battle. Some families may even possess heirloom weapons that date back to the wars against the dwarves.

Height: 4-5’

Fair hair/fair skin, generally eyes of green or hazel.

Mechanically, the Quendi function as standard elves in the Core Rule Book.
