Elves

Sun elves (Alfen or sometimes Dagalfen) are mostly orderly and obsessed with propriety, but have a wild side to them. Moon Elves (Månalven) are more fun loving and willing to let the chips fall where they may.. Svartalves (aka Dark Elves) were for a time conquered by the humans and driven underground, and feel that the other elves did far too little to help them. This is ancient history by now, but the Svartalves remain taciturn and suspicious except with those they know well. The distinction between Sun Elves and Moon Elves doesn't denote any propensity towards diurnal/nocturnal activity, but rather is an artifact of ancient Elven legends to do with the creation of all Elves. The Day elves hold themselves to be the creations of Corellon, who is the sun. The Moon Elves hold themselves to be the creations of Sehanine, also called the Moonbow. The Svartalves, shaped more recently by their long tenure underground, pay tribute to Lolth who taught them to be crafty and gave them the means to survive their exile. A fair number of Svartalves also pay tribute to Moradin in thanks for the aid of the Mordanics in retaking their homeland.
