Seldurin (Moon Elves)
Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
Selduring prefer lone, prominent hilltops that can be bathed in moonlight with the tops of the surrounding forest breaking against their lower walls like a midnight sea.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
Just as severe and haughty as the Aelsol, seldurin posses a softness and compassion to their faces as well as a playful light behind their eyes, as though prone to jokes and laughter. Their hair is usually silver, black, or blue and they eyes can be blue, green, or grey, with flecks of gold.
Civilization and Culture
Culture and Cultural Heritage
Seldurin cities are great hubs of art, culture and learning. All peoples are welcomes to come learn the "properly civilized" way of living, which is to say the Seldurin Way. And while critics will point out that this attitude is just as imperialistic as the Aelsol in its own way; they will also concede that the Seldurin do not force anyone to come to them, and those who do are free to leave and take what they learn and adapt as needed to suit their own peoples.
The seldurin maintain embassies within the capitols and major cities of their allies and frequently send groups out to visit smaller communities of allies and neutral neighbors in order to build and strengthen ties with those communities. While they will usually side with elves over other groups in disputes or negotiations, they are utterly committed to the idea that all parties in an arrangement must receive substantial, benefit in order for any deal or agreement to work.
