Selenites, Gearchs and Selenarchs!

In The First Men In The Moon, HG Wells imagined native Moon dwellers whom he called Selenites. In "In The Shadow," Poul Anderson imagined a future ruler of Earth called a "Gearch" (Geo-arch). In Harvest Of Stars, Anderson imagines future human beings adapted to live not unprotected on the lunar surface but comfortably in artificial environments with lunar gravity, therefore called "Lunarians," whose rulers are "Selenarchs."

The way to imagine, e.g., a Martian is not to make a humanoid form taller and thinner because of lower gravity with bigger lungs because of thinner atmosphere and fur-covered because of the cold etc. That is not a Martian organism but a terrestrial organism adapted to a Martian environment. However, Anderson legitimately makes the Lunarians who are, of course, not native Selenites but the closest approach to such in contemporary hard sf, fine-boned and two meters or more tall. Men lack beards and hair on arms. Women have small breasts and slim hips.

The Selenarch Rinndalir, whose name, I think, sounds Tolkienesque-Elven, has a singer's voice, a marble-white face, high cheek bones, large grey eyes, a pointed chin, unusually convoluted ears and long silver hair. The Selenarchy is independent of Earth with the Selenarchs in their mountain domains as its lords and rulers. Maybe an element of fantasy has invaded the hard sf? - although Anderson was always able to rationalize futuristic medievalism, like sword fights and feudalism in the Technic History.

The Selenarchs are individualistic, capricious and feline, maybe a bit like the Exaltationists in the same author's Time Patrol series?
