Bosmer are referred to as Wood Elves by other races and they are considered to be the masters of the bow. Quick, witty, and agile, they mostly live in the wilds and get along well with nature and its inhabitants. Their life span reaches to about 300 years.
They hunt together using horn bows, and arrows made of various animals, as well as feathers from different types of birds and creatures. On the other hand, they show great respect towards nature, animals, and everything that surrounds them.
Each of them goes through the so-called Rite of Theft, where they steal something and then ask for a favour of equal value to the item stolen, a ritual few outsiders understand. As for names, some good examples are Gelum Dornvale and Bourhel Balfwing.

Their ability with the bow is unrivaled, though they are seldom seen using metal weapons and you won’t find any forges in their forest homes. Most stay in their homeland for all of their lives but there are some that leave to see what the world has to offer. They have no reason to hide who they are so come up with a name for your Bosmer character and see what they get to experience.
