Nightspun
Elves banished into endless night, sun-cursed and remade in symbiosis with the intelligent things that crept into them in the dark. Scattered, otherworldly pariahs who dwell at the shadowed edges of the world. Not evil, whatever the light preaches, and not quite anything the world has seen before.
Matron of the frozen northern seat and the nearest a scattered people has to a crown, though half the tribes would spit at the word. Maelith speaks for the worms that speak through her, and it is never certain which of them chooses the words. She remembers the banishment, and who ordered it, and she has decided across long centuries that the Nightspun will not merely survive their exile. They will become the thing that comes after the ones who cast them out.
