#Moonshadow Cultures and customs

Moonshadow Elves live in multiple communities located inside the Moonshadow Forest. Among those communities are the Hollow Wood, known to be a bustling village, and the Silvergrove, which is hidden underneath a veil of magic and can only be entered through the use of a ritual.

Inhabitants of the Silvergrove live in homes built into immensely large trees, preferring to establish their cities within an existing ecosystem. For freestanding structures, stones are used and an apparent preference for high ceilings is present in all of their known dwellings. There are schools, implying egalitarian accessibility to education and knowledge. Symbolism and motifs of the Moon are heavily featured in Moonshadow decor.

They are known to tame Shadowpaws, Moonstriders, and Moon Phoenixes as mounts and pets. They are also particularly fond of Adoraburrs. They sometimes mistake Maple Dragons for resources for their weapons.

They perform dances in rituals and celebrations, such as weddings and birthdays, more often than any other elven races, namely the "Moonshadow Birthday Dance" for the latter. Also as a part of their marriage proposal the pair of elves present each other with horn rings and decoration as well as for protection. They show intimacy and affection by braiding each other's hair.

Moonshadow Elves Beliefs (in general): obey a rather rigid, honor-driven culture. They believe in duty and oaths above all else, and never show fear towards anything, even death itself. If an assassin ever hesitates or shows mercy, they will be executed on the spot by their own kind
