The kagonesti are descended from high elves but long ago rejected the
civilized trappings of their high elf cousins to establish their own
wilderness settlements. Kagonesti are about the same size as high elves,
but much more muscular, and not as intelligent. Their dark brown skin is
traced with tattoos of clay and paint. Most have dark hair, ranging from
black to light brown. Kagonesti elders have silvery white hair. All
Kagonesti have hazel eyes belying their heritage with the Silvanesti. Wild
elves believe that harmony with nature is the key to a full and happy life.
They are proud people, hot-tempered and passionate. While these barbaric
elves do not initiate wars or attack strangers, they are by no means
pacifists.
The kagonesti elves are stronger and quicker than their high elf cousins and
thusly are substantially better thieves. Kagonesti are also the stronger
breed of elf, making them well suited the rigors of toe-to-toe combat such
as that which warriors, barbarians and scouts would be involved in. However,
a general lack of mental aptitude leave them being below average clerics and
druids.
Note that despite what elves are like in fantasy books and other games,
elves are not long lived here. They have the same lifespan as humans.
