Elf (Moon)
Advertisement
Elves tend to be slimmer than humans. Their features are finely chiseled delicate and they speak in melodic tones. Moon elves are often looked upon as being frivolous and aloof. They concern themselves with natural beauty, dancing, frolicking and other similar pursuits. Their humor is clever as their songs and poetry. Moon elves are the most common elves in Faerun. Many of them have deep-seated hatred for their subterranean cousins, the drow elves.
