[b]People/s:[/b] [i]Elves make up the overwhelming majority of Sotraeca's population. It is possible to find enclaves of non-elves living among the edges of the forest, but the toll can be counted on one's fingers. Few outsiders dare venture into the trees without proper guidance from the elves that call this land home.[/i]

[b]Culture:[/b] [i]The elves of Sotraeca live isolated lives, hidden within the trees and largely unconcerned with the affairs of foreign realms, save for King Alrendil and his council. As a whole, they are content to be left alone from the politicking of other nations, so long as their own livelihood is unthreatened. However, when Sotraeca finds itself at the edge of a sword, the entire forest readies itself in defense. The elves guard their homeland with a wary eye and a stiff hand; it is not in their nature to conquer, but to preserve.

Former conflicts with neighbors have given Sotraeca's inhabitants reason to distrust outsiders, and as such, they are quick to err on the defensive when the motives of others are unclear. They are a suspicious lot, and when they gaze upon the rest of the world, they do so with great cynicism. When forced to broker with outsiders, they disguise their misgivings under veils of congeniality.

Sotraecan elves emphasize living in accordance to the natural world, rather than manipulating or fighting it. They are prone to value ideals of balance and harmony, where they are just as much a component of the natural order as a tree is but one portion of a forest. At young ages, they learn how to survive among the wilderness, navigate the endless rows of trees and forage from the land. The martially-inclined hone their bodies to glide through the wood with ease, sharpening their instincts and dexterity to great heights.[/i]

[b]Reputation:[/b] [i]To the rest of the civilized world, Sotraeca is a black sheep. Whereas the courts of most nations are urban, tucked away behind stone walls, Sotraeca's halls are embedded deep beneath the woods. There are no true roads that connect the cities and fortresses of the elves; each settlement is shrouded in the trees and only they have the familiarity with the land to know which direction to travel. The massive forest is whispered to be an enchanted place: a magical entity in itself that detests intrusions of its privacy. Dryads are rumored to assail trespassers, and the most ancient of trees are said to spring to life at whim. Stories of monstrous creatures, possessed of a near-sentience and appetite for men, are told to children in Virian and Baile settlements close to Sotraeca's edge. 
The isolation in which the elves live, coupled with their penchant for misanthropy makes outsiders wary of their dispositions. It is not infrequently that commoners from other nations, especially those that border the great forest, voice their prejudices concerning the elves.[/i]
