Sylvan Elves

The common elf, the original elf, would consider themselves Sylvan elves due to the circumstances of their creation. They were a group of highly proficient human mages who decided to make their own naturalistic society. Sylvan denotes "of the woods" and the original elves consider themselves at home with nature, and they worship it.

These elves eventually created the kingdoms of Ithiliel and Ikthalia and they eventually reached out to help the rest of human society, without actually transforming them into elves as well.

The elven House Sylvannas was one of the founding houses of the first elves, who settled in nature. The elves of House Sylvannas call themselves "wood elves" in particular to further distinguish themselves as those who do not even live in elven cities, but still in mostly undeveloped woods. They basically consider themselves the sylvan elves of the sylvan elves, the elviest of elves.
