Category:Wildwood Elezen

For Hundreds of years the Wildwood Elezen have lived in the safety of Eorzea's lush forests. They possess an incredibly keen sense of sight - a contributing factor in their unparalleled expertise as archers. With the formation of the realm's governments, many Wildwood ventured forth from the forests, drawn either to the exhilarating cosmopolitanism of the urban centers of the simple nomad-ism of the plains.

The forests, of which the Black Shroud is the tangled heart, have been home to the Wildwood Elezen for hundreds of years. Many of the Wildwood, however, have been drawn to the city-states they helped found, such as Ishgard and Gridania. Their fondness for law and order has contributed to a reputation for being haughty and argumentative.

Additional Notes

Transcribed from Prosperlain in Gridania

We Wildwood have lived amongst the trees for nigh on nine hundred years. We share the same tall, slender physiques as our Duskwight brethren, but are known for our sharper vision--a trait which lends itself well to our prowess with the bow.

Our clan is also known for its innovative genius. The carpentry of Gridania's immense wooden structures, the tawing and tanning techniques of the leather trade--these and more are the products of Wildwood ingenuity, handed down through the ages.
