This Cast is among the Oldest Formed since the Split of the High Elves. Searching for magic that was proper for there new home. Those of this cast look for wisdom before violence, using there powers over Nature only as last resort. Trained with magic and the knowledge of the herbal Medicines, these Elves are among the greatest natural healers in the realms.
Mages from our Mystic Cast are known to call on the plants around then for add. At time calling a wall of thorns to shield themselves, or on forest vines to entangle and snare some one. Some of those that enter into the Library are gifted with healing magic, others must rely on the knowledge of herbs and wild flower to treat and cure sickness.
The Greatest of the Forest Mages, have learned to Call on the Spirit that live in the Forest. There are the more humanoid Dryad; those spirits that love the trouble they can cause, to those travelers that pass through the forest. If the Dryads are positive side to the Spirits that deal with these woods; that Leaves the Treants. The Treants are living Trees, to Call on a Treant and to have control over the Treant are Two Very different things. The 'Walking Tree' as most call them are both Powerful and temperamental: BE WARNED....Only the Elder Mages call on the Treants.

The Man Walked up and Down the Line of new Recruits "Welcome to the Soldier Cast, this Will become your world your life . You will Live by the Blade and Die by the Blade" The Elves Eye looked over the Small Crowd. "This is Your Family NOW and until you Complete your training. Remember THAT above all else." |
This is the second largest cast among Wood elf army. Within the fighting Academy The way of the Blade is taught. Each man or Woman who enters the soldier Cast first learns the use of the Spear, and the Lance for those who train to ride. The Sword is learned by those who wish; few ever go beyond Mastering the Spear. Trained with the Spear, Most soldiers in the Arm will become the backbone of the Defensive lines that protect the archers, and the commanders.
Those Who Learn swordplay Join ranks with the bravest of the Elf warriors. They call themselves the 'Glade Guard'; All those willing to meet sword to sword and Hand to Hand to Defend the Forest from Any who want it for their own.

"Ladies and gentleman" The woman spoke sternly as she over looked the gathering "Here you will hone you skills With this" Holding up an arrow "and with this" With the other Hand she holds out a long bow. "Make no mistake I will ask for no less then Excellence; from all of You." |
The Largest of the four casts; The Archers Cast is formed from the deadliest Archers in the known realms. Using the Elves naturally keen Eye sight, and excellence agility with the mighty long bow, makes for a devastating long range attack. Many have Fallen dead before ever seeing a wood elf; this in part is why they are feared.
Masters over the Elvin long bow, the short bow, even the human cross bow makes this cast a great weapon, or a great enemy. To make this army cast even that much more deadly; a number of the cast are also trained to ride as well as shoot.

The People were Dressed in hooded cloaks, there faces hidden. The moved with no sound; as if they weren't really there. One of the Figures approached. "You were taken from the archer and the soldier casts" His hawk like eyes looked on from under the hood "You were the Best among those casts, and now you will be the Best. You are here for no other reason then to train, to become the shadows" Motioning to the door behind me "once you came through that door you can no longer leave. Welcome to the shadows Way Watcher" |
Assassins, walking Death, evil; are all names the shadow cast has been called. They report only to the ruling king; no one else. They have become feared by the other casts because of the Weapon mastery they Prove. The Long bow, the short Bow, the long sword, the short sword, the throwing knifes of all different styles. The Way Watchers are the elite, knowing how to survive behind the enemy lines, to kill, to hunt and their greatest trait there knowledge of traps. Way Watchers are trained to slow and even disrupt the enemies soldiers while the Wood army readies. They are the First and they are the last line of defense.
To meet a Way Watcher is a blessing to have one cross your Path is Death. The Cast is not Joined; the Cast searches out the next to join. Make no mistake in that, the Shadow Cast tells you to join them; it is not the other way around.
There are even Rumors that Say the Leader of the Rebellion is a Way Watcher. If that is the Case then the Shadow Cast has become divided; The maker help any who walks into that cross fire.
