Customs - Archery contests are the most important social ritual. People of high social rank hold the contests about once a month at the beginning of a holiday but a contest can be quickly put together if a contestant shows great skill combined with a strong desire to further the goals of the tribe. Winning a contest is the best way to gain notice by person of high regard. Just winning contests, however, can only get you so far. In order to progress socially you must first win several contests and then get the support of a higher ranking member of the tribe to host a contest. A rare tree must be planted before each contest, and a large reward must be raised for the winner. After the contest the event is celebrated with a feast. The giver of the contest gives the winner their reward just before the beginning of the meal.
Elves use the index finger of their right hand to touch their "third eye" with their palm facing left and the the thumb and remaining fingers in a circle as a sign of respect or to pray.
Trees - They never cut living trees unless they are diseased beyond saving and when they do cut them they make sure that no part goes to waste and replace them with a tree of greater value to the lands.
