==Sylvari==
The Sylvari are rare in the human-dominated areas of Magae. The largest and best-known sylvari enclave is the realm of Ellagel and Gallador, located deep within the central forests of Irthuin, separated from Archontean territory by a vast mountain range. Those sylvari that travel in human society frequently do so for highly specific, temporary reasons (searching for a specific object or piece of knowledge); on occasion, they reside as advisors in the courts of human lords. Most humans have never seen a Sylvar, and will treat them with fear and caution.

Sylvari society is broadly collective, with younger sylvari associating themselves with seniors who have established reputations for great deeds, excellent craftsmanship, or particular wisdom. The Sylvari prize core balance in all things. Those who are able to blend their emotions, magical sensibilities, knowledge, and connections with nature are held as paragons. Sylvari are curious and inquisitive, but do not care to reveal themselves before strangers (and especially non-sylvari). Most pursue a highly specific intellectual interest, as well as a specific interest in natural magic. Sylvari are particularly attracted by wisdom, by knowledge, by beauty, and by natural lore.

Sylvari have two names, their given name followed by the name of their mentor, to whom they are linking their future. Given names vary widely. Only the most venerable and powerful of sylvari dispense with their mentor's name. 

Sylvari are gender-fluid, willowy, and tall (over 6'), and of varying skin tone and hair color.
