Dark Elf History

The Dark Elves are a subterranean race that desires no contact with other peoples. They are an ancient offshoot of the True Elf race. The True Elves claim that some of their number committed themselves to mastery of the dark magics and separated themselves from the rest of the world by creating an underground commune. The mutating effects of the dark energies caused an evolution in this small group. When they finally emerged almost two centuries later, to rejoin their cousins, they were rejected and expelled. Their pain and sadness soon turned to hatred and vengeance. To this day, they are sworn to destroy that society which cast them out, along with any other races who support that society. Since nearly all other races have friendly relations with the True Elves, they have also become targets for the Dark Elves. The Dark Elves use subversive and devious tactics to accomplish their goals. They are masters of covert operations. Because of their heartless nature and deadly vengeance, they are unwelcome by any other race, and often find themselves actively hunted.
