Homebrew Moniker (Mothfolk) Species Details

They have a reputation for being determined, moody, elegant, Pensive, perplexing, passionate, cryptic, and empathetic. They are slow to anger and have a tendency toward nature with a penchant for thought and ritual.

 A moth Affiliated Archfey Lorded over one of the many gates that leads into the feywild, cursing every human that came through It's Gate the characteristics of a moth. The eladrin took in these fey-cursed humans, eventually falling for each other and there unions created the Moniker.

To the Moniker, light is life, community, everything good, while darkness means confusion, loneliness, and death. At the centre of each village stands a tree of light. A lightkeeper ensures that the tree of light never darkens, as such an event would mean giving up the village. They owe their lives to the land they come from, and often find themselves responsible for its protection. Using their silk threads they weave fabric, write on fabric scrolls, reinforce building material, and many, many more things. Many pursue intellectual or mindful pursuits, becoming librarians or philosophers, pontificating on the nature of life and knowledge itself.

Moniker were given the gift of civilzation from the eladrin, and have picked up their method of naming for themselves, but transformed it through the ages to suit their own needs better. They go through their lives in two distinct phases: As a larva, they are given a short name. They must go through a rite of passage to gain adulthood. Once they have finished, they emerge fully grown and choose an adult name, which often builds on their larval name.
