The Moon Elves are Elves who found the night easier to hunt in than the day. The quarry sleeps for the night, and you have cover. Durring the Drow Uprising they fought as scouts attacking Lolth's camp under the cover of night.

Moon Elf Adventurers
Three sample Moon Elf adventurers are described below.
Ranger: Beiro is a Moon Elf ranger. One day he decided to head out into the forest out of curiosity. He found himself out longer then he thought and by the time he got back to his tribe's grove they had left. He had searched the whole forest but couldn't find even any tracks. He eventually met a party of adventurers who had set out to explore jungles and forests in an attempt to whipe out a witch-doctor cult. Now he scouts and leads the party safely through some of the most overgrown parts of woodland that no man had been through before.
Monk:Lia is a Moon Elf centered breath monk. She was found on the doorstep of a monastery and raised by other monks. Despite the hard discipline she was taunted by the other youth for her differences. Soon the taunting got too much for her to handle and she found herself leaving the only way of life she knew. Along the road she came across an adventuring party who was seeking scrolls of wisdom and she felt a calling. The party had a drow seeking redemption, and Lia found it hard to not resort to the cruleities she suffered at the monastery. After the drow sacrificed itself for Lia she found the enlightenment she never got back at the monastery.
Seeker:Varis is a Moon Elf seeker who was given an order by the Seelie Queen to go scout a world that the Feywild for some reason could't establish a lasting link to. In that planeVaris missed fey kind but found solace in an adventuring party. He now calls upon the primal spirits to lead him and the party to greatness.
Roleplaying a Moon Elf
When creating a moon elf adventurer, here are a few points to consider.
One of the Tribe Moon Elf characteristics vary from tribe to tribe; from quiet and organized to a little more rambunctious. One thing is common however-on the hunt all Moon Elves are quiet team players with the goal taking priority only after companionship. To earn a Moon Elf's trust is to have a bow at your back ready to fight along side you.
Creatures of Night Moon Elves are just as respectful of the natural world as their Elven kin. Since most Moon Elves sleep during the day and don't get to revere in many beauties of the forest. There are, however, just as many beautiful sights at night.
Into the Forest During the day a Moon Elf tribe would retire to their encampment, which would be found in the darkest region of the woodland. Their settlements are built to be packed up and moved quickly but a tribe could stay secluded somewhere for decades.
Moon Elf Characteristics: Agile, Enigmatic, Loyal, respectful, Stealthy, Tempestuous.
