Moon Elf

The moon elves from the world of Adummim are unrelated to similarly named races found in other source books.

These elves are legendary luthiers and bards and have an order of Paladin-hood unique to their faith.  Moon elven skin tone can range from pink to milk-white. When they are at ease their hair is naturally pastel blue but changes color rapidly with their emotions. Eyes are large and beautiful, tending toward blue, pink or (rarely) black.

Moon elves are nocturnal and see well at night but not well underground (with the exception of the underdark where radiation makes their ultravision useful.

Moon elven society revolves around the night sky and their legendary libraries filled with all manner of lore. To qualify for a moon elf character, ability scores must fall within the following ranges:
