Heartland Elves

Overview
Heartland Elves (also known as "Julkrestian Native Elves" or more commonly "Wood Elves") are a subspecies of Elf that live in the Yah'Jubian territory of Julkrest, towards the southern end of the continent. Mostly a peaceful nation, the Heartland Elves typically live a very stoic and solitary lifestyle. Renown for their Artisans, Charmcasters and extremely skilled Swordsmen, they were once the reigning Kingdom on the continent and many still look to them for leadership in times of conflict, but after a severe loss during the Invasion, they were forced to leave their largest Kingdom in ruins, and flee to the forests of the Rift.

Army and Battle Tactics
While the Wood Elves don't have the massive numbers of the Human Kingdoms, their skilled Warriors and Swordsmen are often the ones teaching their ally nations and drilling infantry before battle. When defending their homeland, they will typically create "living fortresses" out of powerful Charms, bending trees and mountains to shape and forcing the enemy to either expend a massive amount of resources or simply give up entirely.
