The wild hunt is the most important social ritual. People of high social rank choose the huntmaster who personally picks the people who are allowed to go on the hunt. It is the highest social honor and one that always has heavy competition. Just one member of a family on a very important hunt could mean the success of the entire family for a generation.
Honors - A person showing great courage and intellect on the hunt can earn the hunt honors which is usually rewarded by the huntmaster with a gift. This earns you great respect within the community and is considered a increadible honor.
After the contest the event is celebrated with a feast at the main castle that feeds all members of the town for the day. The giver of the contest gives the winner their reward just before the beginning of the feast and they are asked to give a speech to the crowd.
Prayer - 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.
