Dank elves came to exist after the fall of Suhkorium after the The Hundreds Year War. When the isles were crumbling, Suhkoriums most powerful wizard cast a transformation spell on the whole city in the hopes that it would allow the people to survive. This spell transformed all of the citizens into fish like hybrids before the city came crashing down into the ocean. The survivors that washed up on shore now had their appearance severely altered. While elves we turned into dank elves and made their way back to land, the humans became Mer and stayed in the ocean with the wreckage of Suhkorium. The first generation of dank elves were able to set up camps and survive, however as generations went on, dank elves became more savage, and reverted back to a caveman-like, nomadic life style.Culture
