Your people have had no contact with another race for generations but your race's natural longevity means they remain the stuff of history not myth. In keeping with their longevity, the birth rate amongst the Elvrabor (wood elves) is exceptionally low and decades can pass without a child being born. Elvrabor are literally born from the trees and every Elvrabor has a life-long bond with his birth tree, being irrevocably weakened if it is ever destroyed. They are able to merge with their birth tree at will and it is the one place they feel truly at peace and close to their creator, Karmana. Although they mate in bipedal form, the pregnant mother merges with her birth-tree soon after conceiving and does not emerge until her tree bring forths new life. It takes many years for the new sapling to mature sufficiently for the infant within to be brought forth. Only then, does life begin for the newborn.
