Harlequins

The Harlequins are a troupe, or perhaps multiple troupes of dark elves who appear and dissappear without trace nor reason. They are dancers of death that follow the mad gods of Eilistraee and Selvetarm and as such their dances can reflect the remembering of their history or can be directed at ones who have unknowingly angered their gods.
Their dances are truly beautiful and never without purpose, they can be warnings of forgotten lore, reenactment of great battles or targeted assassinations. Their dress is that of ornate acrobats, flowing with all colours and shapes often lead by a representative of life and death.
It is rumored that they are able to access the shadow fell to traverse the world at a much faster pace than the rest of us. If this is true it would prove that the other realms are not so cut off from us as we once thought. With this said, I have also found that elven societies often attribute their defeats to their foe having some otherworldly power giving them an edge that none could overcome and may well spread these rumours as a result.
