Moon Elves

The Moon Elves is a race of elves who originated from the Moon and whilst most made their way down to Rathnir and reside in the southern part of Plagos, others travel the world.
==History==
=== Early history ===
Many years ago there were many Moon Elves who resided on the Moon. Their habitat is of unknown origin, believed by them to be made by the Moon itself, which the elves believed to be sapient and worshiped it. One day, the Sun turned to the habitat in a way, that has burnt a lot of the infrastructure. Elves blamed it on their Sun God, Sureal, however many of them started supporting Sureal, saying that it was the punishment for their traditional lifestyle, and that they should live more egoistically and control their population. A civil war broke out, where it is believed that the legendary hero Munas Moonsinger got a sword from the Moon itself and led traditionalists in a fight against surealeans, where he has slain The Godling of Sun. Surealeans were crushed in battle, but their legacy lingered.
===The civil war===
A few centuries later, due to overpopulation, poverty growth and lack of resources, surealean revival happened. More and more Moon Elves started supporting these ideas and crime rate started to skyrocket. Many government officials started sympathising with Sureal and it seemed that elves would go to war again. However, a certain technological progress had happened and elves became especially advanced in cryogenic technologies. A council, constituted of the 20 most influential Moon Elves was created to decide the fate of the country, however many have snuggled weapons to the meeting, and, after a fierce agrument a fight broke out. People on the streets started panicking, many started to hide in cryogenic capsules. However, shortly before the war broke out, a rocket struck the Moon, slaughtering nearly all Elves in a massive blast. Luckily, one particular shard with a few hundred cryogenic capsules has landed somewhere in Rathnir or Eldham.
===Arrival on Earth===
It is unknown where exactly the shard had landed, as there are very little records, though it is said to be somewhere in the ocean south of Lunaris. At this peroid, the Moon Elves began to evolve like their elven cousins, and became nomadic seafarers continent of Plagos and the Ostum Sea. This changed when Hans Luon lead a large group to,settled down and conquered the Island known as Nox Aeterna. Since the foundation of the Lunari Empire, the Moon Elven people settled across the islands owned by the nation and established numerous towns across the ocean. The Moon Elves' faith since then has the folklore of the Moonsinger Pantheon, and the adoption of the now widespread Asitir Faith. Both religions are known for strong ties with the moon itself.

The appearance they took on was more human like, however they were still emerald on the inside. Moon Elves changed to become tall people, with the average height of males being around 6’3 to 6’5. The height of females is shorter from 5’10 to 6’4 in size. Moon Elves are known to have slim and dexterous body frames and stand upright.
