The specific culture of the elves of Oujda extends beyond the borders of that realm, mostly because elves used to be more numerous and the realm considerably larger.
Commonly called Forest Elves, both the land and the culture of Oujda are deeply influenced by its dense, rich an fertile forests, the result of millenia of Elven Agriculture.
Forest Elves are the most traditional, isolated and self-sufficient elven culture. They are hunters and gatherers, live in tree-top villages and stay among themselves to the point of xenophobia. Along the borders, the realm of Oujda is known for its extreme protectiveness, and humans in the surrounding realms assume that entering the realm without permission will get you shot at sight. Which is largely true. However, beyond the immediate border, the elves are friendly, not just because they simply assume anyone they meet must have permission. They are never welcoming, however. An invitation to the fireplace is typical, an invitation into a hut unimaginable. Non-elves are always outsiders. Guests maybe, but never friends.

Architecture
Oujda is home of the most stunning elven architecture seen on Auseka. The dense forest and fast growing trees make it easy to grow houses. No trees are cut for houses, walls or bridges among the Forest Elves. Rather, branches and entire trees are bended and grown into shape using ropes and other guides. Elven houses aren't so much built in the trees as they are the trees themselves.
Religion
Like all elves, Forest Elves follow the old Elven Gods.
Extent
The Forest Elf cultures covers an area of more than 77 thousand square kilometres and guides about 1.2 million people, both elves and humans.
It is concentrated in the elven realm of Oujda, but spreads beyond that into Njombia, Grasalia and even the (mostly human-inhabited) hills of the dwarven realm of Ebronland.
