Forest Elf (5e Subrace)
Forest Elf Subrace[edit]
These elves come from astray magicless descendants of wood elves that left their woodlands in search of a newer purpose. Upon finding a magically rich forest they soon settled there and were greeted by a forest god and soon made a deal that granted them magical forest-like powers in exchange for them to start converting to the god's faith. This bargain was soon struck and these elves soon started to have magic and these elves started to be called Forest Elves. These elves are similar looking to their descendants, the wood elves besides two possible distinctable features, forest elves have leaf-like hair and/or eyes that seem polka dotted in a green and black color at the middle of their eyes. Considering forest elves are astray, wood elves often have discontent with forest elves but since wood elves are level-headed creatures, that discontent never really boils into anger but in recent years that discontent has faded gradually and the forest and wood elves are starting to become more content with each other.
