High Elf Vs Wood Elf Vs Dark Elf
When some D&D players think of elves as a whole, high elves may be what initially comes to mind. Sometimes, they are known as sun or moon elves in the Forgotten Realm setting. Appearing within the 2024 Player's Handbook, high elves are known for their cunning and magical capabilities, regardless of whether a given elf is of a spellcasting class.
Dark elves and wood elves were originally high elves that splintered off into their own culture due to a civil war and not wanting to leave the forests when ordered to respectively. The primary subraces of elves-Wood Elves, High Elves, and Dark Elves. Wood Elves and High Elves are physically identical, and culturally very similar.

The difference is that High Elf culture is adapted to life in a highly-structured and sophisticated society, while Wood Elf culture is adapted to life in a chaotic and complex spirit-infested forest environment. It's a little bit like the "country mouse, city mouse" thing. For example, high elves have great artillery, elves of color have shorter range archers that do a bit more damage (darkshards OP), and wood elves lack the flexible melee-or-ranged units of high/dark elves (shades, lothren sea guard), but have the most mobility.
Concept - Character was born a High Elf, but - relatively young in life for an Elf - went into self-imposed exile. (A dreadful trope, I know.) A few short years later, the character is "adopted" into a tribe of Wood Elves. Should the character have the racial traits of a High Elf or a Wood Elf? Thanks! For me wood elves are the natural lifestyle of the elf and high (white) elves are a kind of radical evolutionary path.

Elves in my world are very much tied to evolution and the natural world, they generally lack the capacity to subvert and dominate nature like humans do. High elf for a mage or samurai Dark elf for a warrior, spellsword, or assassin Wood elf for a ranger, thief, or stealth archer. But i think generally the high elves are the ancient, highly civilized culture of elves, while the wood elves are the wilderness.

Dark Elf vs. High Elf: which is better for magic? Thinking of starting a new run as a different race for once. I usually have always played as a Nord or Orc, primarily using weapons.

Now I want to use mostly magic. High Elves start with +50 Magicka, though Dark Elves do more Destruction damage (I think? I can't remember the stats well).
