After the Scouring the majority of the Wood Elves retreated from Human societies.Dark Elf
There have been sightings by Dwarves who mines reach the Underdark of a species of Elf with grey or black skin, and white hair. These Drow are known to worship an evil goddess, but it is not know if this is by choice, tradition, or if they are forced.

They made a pact with an evil goddess and over time became the Drow.Eladrin
