Moon Elves

Parent Race: Elf

Note: The Moon Elves are considered an ancient race. While their descendants, the Wood Elves, still carry fragments of their legacy, Moon Elves should not be used as a playable race by new characters.

The Moon Elves, or Elva’rai, were a semi-nomadic elven race that emerged during the early divergence of the First Elves (L’nai), originating from the legendary continent of Aurel. They withdrew into the forested peripheries, aligning their lives with the lunar cycle, natural rhythms, and dreamlike intuition.

The Elva’rai built no grand cities, left behind few formal archives, and developed no central governance. Instead, their cultural cohesion rested in ritual, oral memory, and a sustained relationship with nature—particularly forests, shadows, and the moon.

Though often overshadowed by their more dominant kin, the Elva’rai held influence in early elven spiritual traditions and are widely credited with preserving ancient healing practices long after other lineages formalized or fractured.

The Elva’rai no longer exist as a distinct culture. Over generations, their descendants gradually adapted to the deep forests and, in time, became the Silva’rai, or Wood Elves. While some Silva’rai clans still preserve Elva’rai rites and stories, the original culture is considered dissolved, not destroyed.
