Eshkuu

Eshkuu, as they call themselves, or the Moon Elves are the ruthless, depraved race of elvenfolk that live in the Northern reaches of the world, cut off from the Khasov by a black, icy strait of water. Their land of Khar is leaning away from the boiling sun and thus, has brief, fleeting days and long black nights so they may get closer to their patron and guide, the moon.

The Eshkuu gain a strong, insatiable urge to kill and unleash on their enemies because of the moon, it fuels their impulses and errodes their restraints. Thus, to be at their most effective, they perform most of their raids at night so their patron may guide them.

Due to their lands being so inhospitable and hostile, almost as if it were sentient, the Moon Elves have gone relatively safe as far as invasions, however they are eradicated root and stem when they dare to reach beyond their soul.

However, the cunning Moon Elves have a plan they are weaving together. The folk of the lands of Khar have been growing an army to command, they have been bolstering their forces in complete silence in their northern halls. The Moon Elves have now amassed a colossal invasion force and have since begun their war on the outer world.

As well as excelling at displays of cruelty and wanton slaughter, the Eshkuu are experts of maritime war and sailing and are able to efficiently deploy their warriors onto a battlefield and outsmart vast fleets with minimal forces.

Society
Similar to the Volorel, society for the Eshkuu has become grimly fused with warfare.

Commanders

 * Phaselord - The eight senior-most warriors, aristocrats and generals of the Moon Elves. These eight are high-born, opulent schemers who calculate how best to dominate their enemies. They can be either brash, violent lords of slaughter or more subtle, deceptive weavers of subterfuge. These warrior-nobles must be cold-hearted masters of their craft, be it spellweaving or swordsmanship.
 * Grand Lunarch - The undisputed ruler of the Eshkuu elves and the paragon of their kind. The current, first and only Lunarch is Irkhalla, the epitome of the Moon Elves' philosophy. The Grand Lunarch must stand a cut above the rest. The qualities necessary to attain this position are unknown, as there has only ever been one.

Notable Characters

 * Irkhalla - The first and only Grand Lunarch of the Moon Elves, Irkhalla is a conniving, sheming, villainous elf that commands her people with an icy fist.
 * Krescar - First of the Eshkuu's Phaselords, Krescar is a calculating and reserved warrior, very ponderous in his cruelty and methodical in his battles. Krescar prefers to break an opponent down from inside, to take advantage of their fears and psychologically dismantle them with minimal effort.
