Location
Hidden in the veiled forests and high cliffs of the Mountains of the Moon, the Ithil'ari dwell in a secluded valley known as Moonshadow Vale. The land glows faintly at night with bioluminescent flora and whispering trees.
Belief System
The Ithil'ari do not follow the Old Gods or the Seven. Instead, they revere Naelora, the Great Thread, a living force that connects all beings plant, beast, and human through luminous strands of spirit. They believe every life is a note in a great song, and death is a return to the harmony of the world.
Culture
The Ithil'ari live in woven dwellings suspended in trees or carved into cliff faces. Their society is deeply communal, with decisions made through consensus and guided by Voices of the Thread elders who interpret the will of Naelora. They are hunters, singers, and guardians of the wild.
Physiology
Ears
Long and curved slightly backward, with a soft, flexible structure that enhances hearing.

Long-limbed and agile, with powerful legs for leaping and running through forest canopies. Their hands and feet are wide and dexterous, aiding in climbing.
Claws
Fingertips end in retractable claws, used for hunting, climbing, and ceremonial carving.
Abilities
Skinchanging
: Nymara is a powerful warg, capable of entering the minds of animals. Her primary bond is with Thalor, a pale-furred shadowcat born the same night as her. Through him, she can see, hunt, and fight with deadly precision. She can also briefly touch the minds of birds, wolves, and other creatures native to the Vale, though doing so is more taxing and less reliable.
Threadsens
Nymara possesses an intuitive awareness of nearby life, sensing the presence and emotional state of animals and people through what her clan calls the "threads." This ability is strongest in natural settings and during moments of stillness or ritual.
Close-Quarters Combat
Though she favors the bow, Nymara is skilled with curved bone blades and uses her height, agility, and clawed hands to overwhelm opponents in swift, fluid combat.
