HIGH ELF: You're a descendant of those elves who fled the destruction of your homelands 5,000 years ago. You're closer to this event, both in terms of generations, and in stories passed down from parent to child. Perhaps you disregard those stories, seeing them as little more than fable, or bedtime warning. Or perhaps you yearn to return to that place, are driven to seek out scraps of information about it.
The vast majority of High Elves dwell in insular communities - often in the Cathedral-Cities of Telbara, the Old Quarter of Yemet'achi and South Hill area of Galth. Lesser familial groups are scattered here and there - always in cities that react favourably to magic.
In these cases, you would have grown up in a sheltered environment, probably not meeting other races until late in your teens. You received martial training along with magical theory and more practical concerns like reading and writing.
WOOD ELF: Your people shun cities, favouring the wild expanses of countryside - and of course, preferring forests and wooded area above all else.
