Greyhawk

Greyhawk Campaign - 2006

Elves

In the Gnarley as a whole, there are some 7,500 sylvan elves. They live in small, secluded communities,
    usually in tree houses 30-50 feet above the forest floor. They are divided predominantly into four clans,
    and clan allegiances are a source of pride and a badge of honor.

    Clan Sherendyl: This clan has a reputation for producing the finest elven warriors. Sherendyl elves are
    blunt, pragmatic, and to-the-point in dealing with outsiders. They respect the rangers of the Gnarley, and
    Ranger Knights meet with the clan elders once a year or so to exchange information and greetings.

    Clan Meldarin: Meldarin elves are renowned for their bowmanship, and in many ways are the most
    completely adapted to their life and home. A Meldarin elf is said to be able to predict the weather a
    week ahead simply by inspecting moss on an ipp tree. This clan has the highest proportion of half-elves,
    and is the friendliest toward humans and gnaomes. Many of this clan revere Ehlonna in addition to the
    Elven Powers.

    Clan Fealefel: This clan is ruled by a Council of Wizards five strong, and has always produced more
    wizards than the other clans. Fealefel elves are quiet folk, studious and more grave than most of their
    kind, but make utterly implacable enemies. They have some social customs that are unusual among elves,
    such as arranged marriages and ritualized rites-of-passage ceremonies.

    Clan Enlanefel: This small clan comprises no more than 7% of the total elven numbers, yet is always
    deferred to. Enlanefel elves are seers, mystics and loremasters. They do not seek temporal power or
    authority, but are the major guardians of elven secrets.

    Clans do onot usually live seperately, preferring mixed communities. All the Gnarley elves have a
    preference for Celene over Greyhawk, and those who live beyond Celene's borders pass on information
    about events in the forest (and beyond) to Celene's rulers. Thus, humans in general (and the militia in
    partivular) are somewhat distrustful of elves, or at least keep their lips pursed in the presence of a wood
    elf. Elves to not often share their communities with humans, and guard the borders of their territories.
