“	The Elvish folk were passing bowls from hand to hand and across the fires, and some were harping and many were singing. Their gleaming hair was twined with flowers; green and white gems glinted on their collars and belts; and their faces and their songs were filled with mirth.	”
–The Hobbit, Flies and Spiders

Wood-elves are the Silvan Elves that dwell in the vast forest of Mirkwood to the northeast of Middle-earth. They are very much similar to the Galadhrim of Lothlórien, except that they are considered less wise and more suspicious. They live in the uncorrupted portion of Mirkwood, the Woodland Realm, and wear reds and browns that reflect their darkened home.

Notable Wood-elves include Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, and his son Legolas Greenleaf, a notable member of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Spawning

Like their close kin, Silvan Elves of Lothlórien, Wood-elves of Mirkwood tend to wander around their homeland, spawning on grass blocks to keep their population constant. Wood-elves will also spawn in structures, which include the Wood-elf lookout platforms, Wood-elf houses, Wood-elven towers and Elven smithies. Wood-elf captains will only spawn in Wood-elven towers.

Behaviour

Most Wood-elves will use the Bow of Mirkwood as their weapon of choice, and some may use Wood-elven swords. Their main enemies are the Mirkwood Spiders that live in the corrupted portion of Mirkwood.

The Wood-elves, however, are a suspicious folk, due to their isolation and the constant presence of enemies on their borders. Therefore, as well as targeting evil NPCs and players, they may also open fire on good players whose Wood-elf alignment is lower than 50. It is only once you surpass this level that the Wood-elves will trust you.

Hiring

Wood-elves can be hired from Wood-elf captains, which are found in Wood-elven towers. They cost 15-30 silver coins, and require +250 Woodland Realm alignment to hire. Note that the price decreases as your alignment increases.
