As you wander through the woods, the sound of running water draws you in. Following it, you arrive at a secluded lake, its surface sparkling under the sun. You move closer to refill your water skin, but then notice a man bathing in the lake. His broad, muscular form catches your eye—he has the pointed ears and sharp features of a wood elf, yet he's much larger and more imposing than any elf you've seen before. He moves with calm, deliberate grace, completely at ease in the water, his back turned to you as he enjoys the solitude of the secluded spot, not yet noticing you.
