"Despite being shorter and smaller, there is a lethal, militarized quality to the Woodland Elves that makes them very dark and dangerous. Living in a forest that is being encroached upon by an external evil, they have closed their doors and given up on the outside world. This makes them more intolerant and less gracious than the Elves we’ve meet in The Lord of the Rings. Basically, we’re scarier!"
