Pallid Elves
The pallid Elves are a mystical and insightful people with skin as pale as the surface of Exandria's largest moon. They emerged from the Pallid Grove this century and wander the world with childlike curiosity.
History
The ancestors of the pallid elves were a group of reclusive elves who worshiped Sehanine, the Moonweaver and lived in a woodland on top of a mountain plateau in the Cyrios Mountains, protected by illusion magic maintained by their moon priests. During The Calamity, however, the plateau on which the woodland stood sunk as minions of Torog, the Crawling King burrowed beneath it and sucked the life and color from the roots of the trees, leaving behind a valley of bleached, petrified trees that came to be known as the Pallid Grove. During the Crawling King's attack, many of the elven denizens were dragged underground and tortured, but some survived among the sunken roots of the Pallid Grove under the protection of the Moonweaver. Forming clans, the survivors lived in fear of the Crawling King and hid underground from the destruction of The Calamity. Over time, the Moonweaver's blessings mingled with the elves' natural adaption to the Pallid Grove, eventually forming a new ethnicity of elves known as the Pallid Elves. The pallid elves did not start to venture out of the Pallid Grove until the time of The War of Ash and Light, confused and curious about the world that had developed without them. Within the Clovis Concord, pallid elves are generally viewed with a cordial curiosity.
