The elves of the southern reaches of Erethor, where temperate forest gives way to lush tropical rainforest, are known as the Danisil. They live in the dense boa-bil groves along the many small rivers that wind through the Aruun Rainforest. Their homes nestle into the upper canopies of the boa-bils, and a bustling and lively town can be completely invisible from the ground. The Danisil forage for the fruits fifish and hunt along their rivers with fleets of slender canoes. The Danisil prefer loose tunics and colorful vests to avoid the worst of the oppressive heat, though their warriors oftften don lacquered linothorax breastplates. The cunning weave of the elven cloths used in the armor make the pieces light and breathable but tougher than a studded leather jacket. Traditionally, the armor would be as colorful as the rest of the elves’ clothing, but as the war against the Shadow continues, they have adopted muted greens and browns to better strike from ambush. They also carry wide, curved fifighting knives called sepi and shortbows that can easily be used in the forest’s dense confifines. Nearly all the Danisil adorn their arms and faces with complex patttterns of ritualistic scarring. Though they are enchantingly beautiful, the patttterns serve a much more serious purpose than decoration. They are, in fact, wards against the fell demons that inhabit the dark depths of the Aruun. Traditionally, the Danisil have been the foremost academics and philosophers amongst the elves, having studied the mysteries of the arcane and the disappearance of the divine from their world for thousands of years. But in the decades since the Shadow’s victory, the evil demons of the forest have grown bolder and more powerful. Now they fifight ferociously in Izrador’s name, and the malign god has littttle need to dispatch his legions into the Aruun’s depths. Although the Danisil are sorely pressed by their supernatural foes and have less time for academics, their learned warriors still bear the knowledge to overcome the Fallen they face.
