Wild elf

Wild elves (or green elves as they used to be known) are a feral, stealthy subrace of the elven species that have become more and more reclusive over the years.

History
When elves first arrived on Toril green elves were by far the most successful at establishing themselves and exploring new areas, creating several territories that eventually each became their own great nation. Unfortunately the Crown wars brought with them destruction, most of which was focussed upon green elf territory. Three of their Five nations were completely destroyed and the other two were constant targets of dark elven aggression. The green elf prediliction for peace did not fare well against the dark elf lust for violence. Eventually at the end of the Crown Wars the green elves gave up their cities and left them in the ruins they had been reduced to, wandering Faerun for many elven generations and receding further and further from elven society. While the other subraces started the second Elven age the green elves withdrew to the forests and mountains, staying hidden from view. As time went on they forgot most of their lore and concentrated on hunting and staying hidden. This eventually led them to becoming a primitive race, still noble but considerably less refined. True 'wild elves'.
