Mordharow: Deep Elves "Drow"
History of the Mord:
A small group of Dokkjoro women begin worshiping the Obsidian Queen. A mythological daughter of Zylestra. They refer to themselves as the obedient ones. The rest of Elvenkind call them Mordhorow which means the dark Afflicted ones. They get this name due to the fact that the Cult curse the Sun and through initations the initial group casts a spell that all of their decendants would be hurt by sunlight and any that joined their cult would have to take on this curse or boon depending on what perspective you took. Thus they would only come out at night or since they were Dokkjoro they lived in caves. They blamed the Eldar who lived in the light that they were subjugated and treated unfairly and wanted nothing that benefitted their oppressors. Through this line of thinking they were able to swell there group to hundreds of Dokkjoro if not thousands. Mordhorow began to terrorize the Eldar and the Dokkjoro are blamed. The Mord are discovered to be the ones that have been terrorizing the Eldar for the last five years and between the Dokkjoro and Eldar they banish the Mord to the depths of the earth. In the minds of the Eldar they are being merciful partly because of their affliction in which they can not stand the sun. This is also how they are found out. Leaders of the Dokkjoro found out about their cult to the Obsidian Queen as well. The Eldar make a proclamation and the Mord are told they would be killed on site if any of their kind with this affliction were found in the Eldar's realm. The Dokkjoro agree to the proclamation and due to murders that were found within their own kingdom agree to exile them into the greater depths.

Description: Deep Elves. For the most part unknown to most everyone except the Erline & the Dokkjaro, who do not speak of them in shared company. Called Mord for short, they live in some of the deepest regions of the underworld. The men and women share little of the same trades. The men mostly are fighters or manual labor and women are leaders or religious leaders . For the most part the Mord do not want to be bothered. They stay to themselves and only occasionally have dealings with the deep Dwarves. Any creatures that they come in contact with they try to use them to their benefit. The Mord are a selfish race they care little about any other races unless they can use them for their own benefit. They will try many ways to manipulate or use those that they feel they can get something out of. It is been said that the Mord, worship a spider queen or god making blood sacrifice to her.
