It’s finally elf time!
I think it’s best to start with the wood elves. Elves are a cosmopolitan group, with hundreds if not thousands of variations, distinct populations,and races of sorts. This makes their classification a little funky. Most elf groups are more of an ecological morph than a distinct race. For example, wood elves in Arcadia are more closely related to Arcadian Drow and sun elves than lemurian wood elves.
Wood elves, also known as tree elves or forest elves, are the most common elves in Murrellia, both in range and population. They are found throughout a variety of wooded habitats around the planet, from boreal forests to open woodlands and seasonal jungles. Individuals from open woodlands are often yellowish, individuals from jungles are overall darker, and individuals from temperate forests turn brighter during the summer. They are sedentary, living in villages and treetop cities. They are the best climbers of all elves, living in the canopy of cities and villages. Wood elves often live in association with woodmen, halflings, and wood gnomes. Woodmen and wood elves have paired enough times that half-elves have become their own thing, kinda like labradoodles. Wood elves are often considered friendly, humble, and hardworking. They are social and kind people, likely influenced by their halfling and woodmen neighbors.
I don’t have much on their particular cultures yet, but hopefully as time passes I’ll come up with more.
