the Forest of Renshaw.  They feel morally superior to those they left behind,
hence the name of high elves.  They also used magic more frequently in their
daily lives than their woodland kin.  In the short time of being located in the
high mountains their skin color darkened.  This change makes it easy to tell the
difference between a woodland elf and a high elf.

third of residents of the Forest of Renshaw.  She was elected as their queen
