Ras looked between his daughter and the priestess and nodded. “I understand. Then you’ll be happy to know that Sharindia is the smartest Elf I know, and I know people who are even smarter than her. In fact they’re so smart they have trouble teaching other people. Maybe I can introduce you to her some day.”<br/><br/>Rayne laughed quietly and shook her head.<span style="color: #5900b3">“No, they’re mostly a hold over from the race our people were styled after. The old generation of Elves have very pronounced fangs but even then they’re mostly used for biting their mates. We hunt with bows and curved blades called glaives. I have one but when I was brought to this world it was confiscated for being a weapon. This is what our people were based on when our deadbeat goddess made us.”</span>She held up her watch and brought up a picture of Ras.<span style="color: #5900b3"> “He’s a Troll and they are the oldest race on Azeroth. He was- is the father of my child but I have no memories of either of them. I just know of them.” </span>She scrolled through a few pictures she took of him and then of Kitori.<span style="color: #5900b3"> “That is Kitori, our daughter. As strong and wild as she is beautiful.” </span>She stared at her own picture for a moment with a sad smile but snapped out of it when the bush started to move again.<span style="color: #5900b3"> “We have spell casters known as druids, they can commune directly with nature and the more powerful ones can even transform into animals themselves. As I am, without power, I’m simply aware of my surroundings and can sense the ‘feelings’ of my environment. The talking trees are generally just known as Ancients but they sometimes name themselves. They generally fall into one of three categories. War, Wisdom, and Lore. The first is pretty self explanatory, they defend their lands by burying their foes under boulders and devouring them with roots. Ancients of Wisdom usually root themselves in glades and either become buildings where young druids are taught or they’ll retain their form and teach visitors themselves. And finally, Ancients of Lore are historians and record keepers of our world’s history. They usually wander around and explore the forests of our homeland. And then we have treants, which are much simpler beings but still walking and talking trees like the Ancients. Usually treants are summoned to aid a druid or protect an area from intruders. But they can also grow and form naturally and become fully sentient and individual beings with names and hobbies like any mortal.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
