History:
Moon elves, also known as Teu-tel-quessir in the elven language or as silver elves, were the most common of all
the elven subraces. More tolerant of humans than other elves, moon elves were the ancestors of most half-elves.

Like all elves, the Teu-tel-quessir were tall, close to humans in height, but more slender and beautiful. Moon elf skin
was pale, often with an icy blue hue. Moon elf hair was commonly black, blue, or silvery white, although human-like
colors were heard of as well, though very rare. Moon elf eyes, like those of other elves, were very commonly green,
although some were blue as well. All exhibited a characteristic best described as golden flecks speckled through the
iris. Male moon elves were typically taller than females.

Of all the elven races, moon elves were the most impulsive, with a strong distaste for complacency or isolation.
Moon elves longed to be on the road, traveling and exploring the untamed wilderness that lay between cities and
nations. This extroverted quality was part of the reason why moon elves got along uncommonly well with other
races and had come to the conclusion that the N-Tel-Quess were not necessarily as foolhardy or unworthy as their
brethren might think. Moon elves, rather than feeling that interaction outside of their race diminished or weakened
them, believed that interacting with other races, humans in particular, was the best way to spread the values of the
Tel-quessir races, thereby strengthening their culture.

Moon elven society was often loosely organized and few moon elves stayed in one place for more than a season or
two, preferring a nomadic lifestyle. Moon elves were generally comfortable living amongst other elves,
particularly sun elves, as well as gnomes, humans, or halflings. Most moon elves organized themselves into groups of
a dozen extended families or so, each ruled democratically, although often with de facto leaders whose say held
more weight than anyone else's, an individual most often respected for either their age or their martial skill.
Wherever they lived, moon elves were unassuming, with homes that were humble, if comfortable.

Although often light-hearted and at ease, moon elves could leap to action if danger came around. Like other elves,
moon elves made sure that nearly all of their members were trained to wield a weapon and many also had some
small skill in magic. However, even in dark times, moon elves tended to find something to brighten them up, a
quality that could be valuable for maintaining morale.
It was not uncommon for a moon elf to take on the life of an adventurer. After all, moon elves were innately a race
driven by wanderlust and the desire to learn or do good. Altogether, moon elves were individualistic and most
believed sincerely that each person could make a difference in the world, for better or worse. Because moon elves
had an innate sense of altruism and good will to others, most moon elven adventurers were heroes, rather than
villains, though both existed.
Those who did turn to an adventurer's lifestyle commonly embraced the musical path of a bard; the martial lifestyle
of a fighter, ranger, or rogue; or studied to become wizards. Some might also become, later in life, arcane
archers or bladesingers and during the organization's existence, many also felt a calling to the way of the Harpers.
