# Estes Estes is the reigning monarch of the moon elves and a stalwart protector of his kind. As a support-focused hero, he channels lunar magic to sustain his allies while defending against external threats. ## Background The moon elves trace their origins to the Emerald Woodland, an ancient realm situated west of Moonlake and home to the legendary Tree of Life. Each successive elven king has emerged from this sacred tree, serving as the spiritual and political leader of their race. The current ruler, Estes, suffered grievous wounds during the Second Plains War and subsequently entered a prolonged slumber within the Emerald Woodland to recover. With their king incapacitated, the moon elves found themselves without sovereign guidance during a tumultuous period. When conflict between humans and orcs threatened to engulf their peaceful forest sanctuary, the young archer Miya rose to leadership and rallied the elven forces to mount a defense of their homeland. Yet darker forces conspired against the moon elves. The Blood Queen Alice, servant of the abyssal darkness, corrupted numerous young elves through insidious manipulation, drawing them toward the void. This betrayal from within their own ranks pushed the moon elves to the brink of extinction—a transgression that finally awakened the great king from his slumber. Roused by thunder and fury on a fateful night, Estes emerged transformed. Though commanding and exacting in temperament, he tempers his authority with compassion for his subjects. Blessed with the radiant power of moonlight itself, the king took up the Code of Moonlight as both scepter and oath, pledging to strike down any who would threaten his people and to empower his allies against all who dare encroach upon elven lands.
