Favored by the goddess Sehanine Moonbow, Dusk Elves are a rare and elusive kind. Keeping to small, secluded enclaves within the darkest forests of Faerûn and the Shadowfell, their numbers have dwindled over the centuries.

Guarded by the moon's light, Moon Elves are an extraordinarily outgoing kind with a particular affinity for lunar magic. With a particularly strong lust for travel, they prefer living alongside other races, many of which they have held positive relations with for generations.

Direct descendants of Winter Eladrin, Snow Elves are a secluded and isolated kind, having kept only minimal contact with the outside world for generations. They've learnt to thrive in dangerously frigid environments, living off the land and often establishing small communities near significant natural or religious landmarks.

Star Elves lived isolated within a Demiplane of the Feywild for generations, emerging only after the Spellplague. Unfamiliar with the customs, races, and natural environments of Faerûn, they are curious and enjoy learning about their new surroundings, eager to explore and integrate into the world beyond their secluded realm.

An ancient lineage of Elves renowned for their preference to remain within their own secluded settlements, rarely seen elsewhere. Sun Elves dedicate themselves to perfection in their chosen professions, often committing to a singular craft or skill for the entirety of their extended lifespans.

True lycanthropic Elves gifted with the ability to shift their forms into that of wolves. Rare in Faerûn, Lythari prefer the company of their own deeply intertwined packs. Despite their lycanthropic nature, they are often averse to violence and primarily rely on their their lupine form for scouting, delivering messages, or hunting.

Deeply attuned to the Weave, Aevendrow have forsaken Lolth's teachings and the typical ways of Drow society. Settling within a bioluminescent nexus of magical energies deep underneath a mountain in the far north, they venture to the surface only for ritualistic purposes, harnessing their magical prowess under the starlit sky.

Having defied Lolth's teachings, Lorendrow fled Menzoberranzan to settle within Saekolath to the far south of Faerûn. Fostering a deep connection to the natural environment, they live in balance with the forest, the earth, and the sky and thrive within the shadows of the jungle's foliage.

Favoured of Lolth, whether through achievement or birthright, Lolthtouched Drow are outstanding members of their community. Afforded far superior training than the average Drow, the spider's blood within their veins claims any weakness they may have harbored, resulting in a near fearless avatar of the spider queen that instills fear and dread into anyone who lays their eyes upon them.

Born of the profane union between a Shadow Dragon and a Drow, Zar'ithra possess draconic blood despite not being true half-dragons. With a profound connection to the Plane of Shadow, they show strong inclinations towards shadow magic and are frequently blessed with innate magical abilities from birth. Renowned for their strength and power, Zar'ithra frequently ascend to leadership positions within their communities, wielding their formidable abilities to command respect and authority.

Half-Aevendrow inherit a deep attunement to the Weave and a rejection of Lolth's teachings from their elven parent. The human blood within their veins allows them to traverse the surface even during the day, igniting a wish to wander past the boundaries of the Starlight Enclave within them.

Feeling a deep connection to both the natural world and the shadows, many Half-Dusk Elves leave their parents' secluded enclaves to discover what Faerûn may offer them. Their elven ancestry imbues them with a subtle grace and an innate understanding of the shadows, allowing them to comfortably navigate both light and darkness.

Half-moon elves inherit the outgoing nature and connection to the moon from their Moon Elf parent. They thrive in diverse communities where they bring a sense of curiosity and wanderlust, often serving as travelling bards, clerics, or artists.

Half-Snow Elves are usually born to the few Snow Elf ambassadors sent to establish contact with human settlements beyond the frigid north. Raised in these settlements due to the perilous nature of travel, they often lack the endurance of their Snow Elf parents, although they still retain traces of the frigid magics inherent to their lineage.

Star Elves enjoy integrating themselves deeply into unfamiliar cultures as a means of study, sometimes discovering love in the process. As a result, Half-Star Elves are not uncommon and frequently viewed as a blessing. Blessed with some of their elven parent's abilities, they lack their distinct naivety and wonder, as they are more familiar with Faerûn.

As Sun Elves rarely leave their communities, Half-Sun Elves are rarer than other Half-Elves. Not typically raised within exclusively Sun Elf settlements, they lack much of the immense direct exposure to their elven parent's culture, yet still inherit some of their inherent abilities.

It is not uncommon for Lorendrow to ally themselves with one of the human settlements within the jungle they inhabit, often resulting in the birth of a handful of Half-Lorendrow. They inherit the skill for jungle survival from both of their parents combined with a touch of elven grace, making them formidable survivors.

While Half-Lythari inherit certain animalistic traits from their Lythari parent, they frequently lack their parent's lycanthropic ability. This distinction can sometimes leave them feeling estranged within the lupine packs they call home, prompting many Half-Lythari to wander beyond, seeking a place where they can truly find belonging.
