Keepers of the Moon

The Keepers of the Moon are a clan of Miqo'te.

Lore
The nocturnal among the Miqo'te have dubbed themselves the Keepers of the Moon. Shying from the garish light of day, they revel in the shroud of night, with most offering their piety to Menphina the Lover, goddess of the moon.

They are distinguishable from their diurnal cousins by their darker fur, larger ears, rounder eyes, more pronounced canines, and longer, skinnier tails. The ritual application of war paint to the faced is still regularly practiced, as it is believed the vivid colors grant lunar powers. The Keepers are known for their reticent and brooding personalities, but are also respected and sometimes feared for their tenacity.

After a great many summers of conflict with the people of Gridania, the Keepers have finally made amends with the people of the sylvan city-state, with some even choosing to make their homes there.
