Moon Elf

One of the taller varieties of Elf, with pale, marble skin ranging from grey-tinged to blue-tinged. Their ears are proportionally longer than other varieties of Elf, and are tilted slightly downward. Moon Elves, along with High Elves (who developed at around the same time) were the first Elven race to exhibit photophores in the irises of the eyes, resulting in the characteristic glowing eyes of Elven kind. Along with High Elves, they have abnormally bright photophores. Their eyes can be Violet, Blue, Amber, Pink, or Green. The Moon Elves were given the jungle-filled western expanses of the Yllsilyn Kingdom when it was divided into thirds in 739 TS, when the Moon and High Elves were officially recognized as separate races. This nation, called the Caryymonac Expanse, developed a highly religious society based on the shamanic religion that the Moon Elves developed. They would later share this religion with the off-shoot of the High Elves that would later become the Wood Elves. The Moon Elves, more than any other Elven race, represent the “oneness with nature” typically associated with Elvenkind. At first the Moon Elves were fairly numerous, but toward the end of the Time of Sages, their numbers began to decline. They are now very uncommon, and mostly only found in their ancestral homeland of Wiiramyl.
