The Wodaelfes (🔊 WOAH-dalf) grew distant from their Friggaelfen cousins due to an aesthetic rift. They prefer natural beauty to anything artistic. They reside primarily in Aelfwode.

Overview[edit]

The Wodaelf are unsurprisingly, the preeminent strain and culture to be found in Aelfwode. For a time, most believed them to be the only variety of Aelf to exist. Their love for Woden and his creation extended to the forests and nature in which they lived. A common Wodaelf saying is, "Nothing can be more beautiful than a tree."

While this is very possibly true, as trees do possess a powerful aesthetic, a time came when not all Aelfes agreed. Friendly disagreements became heated arguments, which grew into political upheaval and even in some cases, war. The Wodaelfes eventually bade their art-loving cousins to leave the forests of Aelfwode and put an end to these powerful disagreements. The new tribes dedicated themselves to Frigg and the arts, moving west to find peace.

With their political troubles behind them, the Wodaelfes have enjoyed a long peace. They are happy to trade with their human neighbors and have only had one occasion to spar with their Grendel neighbors, during the war. The Grendel soon learned the power of the Aelfen bow and steered clear of Aelfwode during the entirety of that war.
