Common Dress Code
Sylvan elves tend to wear rugged clothing consisting of kilts, boots, and tunics made of animal skins and simple cloth. When not in their tribal bands, they dress in leather armor decorated with the shapes of leaves or of the animals of the deep forest.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
The Sylvan Elves are notoriously xenophobic and greet intruders of their forests with quiet suspicion to swift death. Sylvan Elves look down upon the High Elves and the Dark Elves as lost souls who have strayed too far from their fey heritage. Sylvan elves are generally cold and untrusting to everyone else, seeing them as effete snobs or liable to steal from the tribe.
