The wood elves are known as the gray elves in the oldest texts, but they grew out of the name, which appears to have been an early Elf King’s idea of a logical transition between light and dark. Some humans call them the green elves. Wood elves resisted that name until recently when some wood elves associated with the High Druid began using the term “green elf,” or “wild elf,” to distinguish themselves from elves who do not follow the High Druid. Green and wild are presently considered impolite terms at the Court of Stars.
