Illumina Valos

This cabal of elusive Moon Elvish elementalists are not directly affiliated with the Windsong Republic or the city of Windsong where they are based, but do act as protectors to the city in times of trouble and act in the interests of Windsong more times than not. Primarily, their goal as an organization is to preserve what remains of the Moon Elvish culture and to ensure the tradition of their heritage is not forgotten as their numbers slowly dwindle. Primarily, they are historians, artisans and scholars look fondly upon throughout the Republic and abroad, but can and have act with a great deal of force upon an enemy should the cause be dire.

The Illumina Valos will take only Moon Elves and rarely, a Half-Moon Elf or Asyn-Shei of considerable talent and character. They normally do not dabble in politics, but have the capacity to be very influential in government matters if they choose to do so. By and large, they are responsible for the amazing buildings that Windsong enjoys that look as though they are shaped from the stone of the world itself, rather than built with mortar and brick or wood and stone. They maintain a heritage library in the city called Illumina es Shei or Knowledge of the Elves. Members of the Illumina Valos are identified by their silver robes, with white runes sewn into them.
