Elves Elfquest - Tribes

Subsequent to their arrival on the World of Two Moons, the elves splintered into a number of different tribes. These tribes differ considerably in culture and even physical appearance

Elves Elfquest - Wolfriders

The Wolfriders are a hunter-gatherer society of nocturnal elves who possess wolf blood, which gives them characteristics unique to their tribe.

Elves Elfquest - Sun Folk

The Sun Folk are a sedentary, largely agrarian desert-dwelling tribe whose dark skin helps protect them from the powerful sunlight of their home, a village called Sorrow's End.

Elves Elfquest - Gliders

The Gliders are a tall race of elves, almost all of whom possess the power of gliding (see Magic below). To avoid human persecution they have cloistered themselves inside the hollowed-out Blue Mountain, devoting themselves to art and contemplation. In the process they have become arrogant and decadent, none more so than the black-robed Winnowill.

Elves Elfquest - Go-backs

The Go-backs, as their name suggests, desire to return to the Palace. But the Palace is claimed by King Guttlekraw's trolls, and so the Go-backs have become a race of brutally barbaric warriors, constantly fighting the trolls until war has become their meat and milk. Unknown to the Go-backs, their chief Kahvi actually has Wolfrider blood.

Elves Elfquest - Wavedancers

The Wavedancers are a tribe of elves who took refuge in the oceans of the World of Two Moons. Thanks to elfin flesh-shaping magic, the Wavedancers have in some cases undergone physical alterations such as fins and fishlike tails to help them adapt to an aquatic life.
