As fate should have it, before the splitting of the Children of Darkness and of Light, these Star Elves sprang forth from the very creative essence of the multi-verse, on their own, without the aid of The Gods. They mostly live scattered throughout the upper reaches of the outer planes. On rare occasion, star elves with the required amount of skill have traveled to other planes for a myriad of reasons, usually through some odd circumstance.

	Cool Name (Wild Elves) Another race nearly unknown to any on the material plane, Wild Elves, like their twin race the Star Elves, were among the first elves to come into existence in the multi-verse. As fate should have it, after the creation of the realms and before the splitting of the Children of Darkness and of Light, these Star Elves sprang forth from the combined remnants the Elemental Chaos and the Feywild, of their own volition--without the aid of The Gods. Wild Elves live scattered throughout the multi-verse. They tend to have a disdain for the material plane, and as such they usually avoid it.

Roll 1d4 to determine which of the following conditions you inflict upon the target: 1= Blindness, 2=Charmed, 3=Deafened, 4=Frightened. This condition lasts until the end of your next turn, unless if during that turn your choose to establish madness again. At which point, the target will make an additional wisdom saving throw or again be overcome my madness; as before, roll 1d4 to determine which condition is inflicted. At 15th level, you gain greater control of your abilities and gain advantage on your rolls to determine conditions inflicted. At 17th level, you've become adept with your abilities and can decide which conditions are inflicted, without a determining dice roll. Deep Slumber: Unlike most other elves, Wild elves do not enter reverie. Instead, while resting they enter a deep, hibernation-like, sleep. They do not dream. During this time they fall inwardly, into a rolling sea of chaos and fey energy—the very place their power comes from. You are able to achieve a long rest in 4 hours time. Temperament: Wild Elves are nomadic by nature, choosing live alone and sometimes in small communities; only in rare cases has a Wild Elf lived in any sort of large civilization. They are very impulsive and strange, finding delight and disgust in the oddest of things. Languages:Sylvan and Elven.
