Sylvankind are a race descended from elves who refused to join the Elven Empire, preferring to hold to the old ways within the deep forests of the world. Among the elves, they are known as sylvisterai, or "those who embrace, or marry, the forest". Reclusive and mistrustful of outsiders, they have ever moved their settlements to avoid the encroach of civilization.
