====== Wild Elf ======
Wild Elves are the last true keepers of the old ways—untouched by civilization and proud of it. Rejecting the arcane arts and all things “unnatural,” they live in deep communion with the land. Though often seen as primitive, Wild Elves are cunning, resilient, and fiercely independent.

===== 🌍 Lore =====
When magic first came to Volaire, not all Elves embraced it. Some viewed it as a corruption—an affront to the traditions they had sworn to preserve. These Elves abandoned their kin and disappeared into the wilds, becoming what are now known as Wild Elves.

They uphold ancient customs, forge their own tools, and live off the land. Though others may view them as backwards, they are far from simple-minded—Wild Elves are as clever as they are fierce.
