Dark Elf

Dark Elves, a subrace dwelling within the borders of Kevelon, have a complex and intricate history that sets them apart from their elven brethren. Originating from the desolate and decimated lands of Thordorn, beyond the shimmering wall to the north, the Dark Elves have endured great hardship and loss. Their ancestral homeland was ravaged by the cataclysmic spell that brought devastation upon Rheiknor, casting a shadow over their existence.
The Dark Elves' connection to Thordorn runs deep, as it was once a lush and thriving forest teeming with life. However, the catastrophic consequences of the cataclysm left the land desecrated and inhospitable. Forced to seek refuge within the protective confines of Kevelon, the Dark Elves adapted to their new surroundings while carrying the weight of their shattered homeland in their hearts.
Among the elven subraces, the Dark Elves stand out for their affinity for secrecy, subterfuge, and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge. They find solace in the shadows and are adept at navigating the intricate webs of intrigue and espionage. Their experiences beyond the wall have shaped their perspective, fostering a deep-seated resentment towards the Praelon Var and, to some extent, the other elves who they believe were complicit in the cataclysmic events that befell Thordorn.
While many Dark Elves have integrated into Kevelon's society, others have ventured out into Rheiknor, seeking solace or a new home where they can restore their way of life akin to Thordorn. Some have even dared to venture into the treacherous Rim, driven by a longing for a place where they can exist as they once did before the cataclysm shattered their world.
Dark Elves possess a natural affinity for stealth and the arcane arts, delving into forbidden realms of magic that other elven subraces often shun. Their skills in assassination, illusion, and shadow manipulation are unparalleled, making them formidable adversaries and valuable assets in times of conflict. Though their clandestine nature and mysterious practices can generate distrust and apprehension among other races, the Dark Elves' unique abilities and knowledge hold potential for both great good and great darkness.
Within the multifaceted culture of Kevelon, the presence of Dark Elves adds an air of mystery and intrigue. Their tragic history, clandestine nature, and affinity for the forbidden arts make them both feared and respected. They serve as a reminder of the cataclysm's enduring impact, the shattered dreams of Thordorn, and the resilience of a people seeking to rebuild their lives and rediscover their place in the world.
