Moon elven society was often loosely organized and few moon elves stayed in one place for more than a season or two, preferring a nomadic lifestyle.

Moon elves, rather than feeling that interaction outside of their race diminished or weakened them, believed that interacting with other races, humans in particular, was the best way to spread the values of the Tel-quessir races, thereby strengthening their culture. This extroverted quality was part of the reason why moon elves got along uncommonly well with other races and had come to the conclusion that the N-Tel-Quess were not necessarily as foolhardy or unworthy as their brethren might think. Moon elves longed to be on the road, traveling and exploring the untamed wilderness that lay between cities and nations.

Of all the elven races, moon elves were the most impulsive, with a strong distaste for complacency or isolation. Male moon elves were typically taller than females. All exhibited a characteristic best described as golden flecks speckled through the iris. Moon elf eyes, like those of other elves, were very commonly green, although some were blue as well. Moon elf hair was commonly black, blue, or silvery white, although human-like colors were heard of as well, though very rare. Moon elf skin was pale, often with an icy blue hue. Like all elves, the Teu-tel-quessir were tall, close to humans in height, but more slender and beautiful.
