Forest Elves

The Forest Elves, or the Erut'ani are a race of elves who adapted to lush forests and woodlands many millenia ago. The now extinct race seems to only have one remaining member of their species left, Kaori Hyacinthus Faeryndell.

The Entire race were believed to have once resided within their nation and kingdom, surrounded by the everlasting mystics of the forest given to them by their mother earth, Drui'hena. It is currently unknown how they used to live, what rituals they performed or knowledge they practiced. And many theories regarding their extinction have been tossed around. However a frustrating thing for many historians is the lack of information that can be found and traced to the Erut'ani.

First discovered to be a new species of elf from inspecting the youth Kaori by the late Argof, the Knowledge Seeker, the Erut'ani have had little to no further research conducted into their past. apart from very meager and lackluster historical reports from explorors and archeologists and the like. It is currently believed and set in stone that the once famed race of Forest Elves simply could not adapt to a sudden deforestation disaster, causing their entire way of life to crumble. While there have been minor arguments regarding whether this is true, research into this forgotten civilisation as remained an open case for thousands of years.

Any further attempts that could have been made by Argof, were cut short after their execution within the fort Winterstone of The Kingdom of Aurora.

Appearance
The Forest elves, based on Argof's inspection of the youth Kaori, resulted in a conclusion that these elves share many similar traits to that of their fellow sub species. Though there is no evidence for any other previous forest elf, Kaori's slight and nimble stature is believed to have been a common trait among this species to allow for quick travel through the canopy of trees and the deep undergrowths of woodland. This of course cannot be proven until any other such evidence for similar or differing appearances is brought to light. They appear to have longer ears than that of most elves, able to twitch and flick in response to sounds that regular humanoid beings strain to hear. The rustle of the wind changing direction in the leaves; the sound of an egg cracking in a nest over a mile away. Their alert ears could possibly mean they were prey creatures, or at least during their most primitive stages. A somewhat unique feature that appears on the subject Kaori showcases speckled, deer feckles scatted along his upper cheeks, just decorating his face under the eyes like large white freckles, the pattern occured around his waist and hips as well. This is currently the believed idea that all forest elves had similar markings of some sort.

Past technologies
The subject, Kaori both appeared to have knowledge of basic Weaponry such as the bow and sword, suggesting that the forest Elves too has access to this war technology. A strange mechanism made of a copper like material was sketched into the subject's journel, as well as strange flowers and fauna thought previously extinct. These strange, past flora and the return of flora seem to be reappearing within the world once more, perhaps this is connected in some way to the subject.
