The kindreds are not only bound by physical traits, but also by their shared ideals and bonds of duty. Each of the noble kindreds specialises in unique fighting styles or their approach to warfare, all of which the leaders of the Wood Elves have come to trust in times of war. Some of the kindreds rely on their countless hours of disciplined training, where others strike without hesitation, their instincts honed by decades of hunting and combat.
