Dark Elves

Dark Elf Race. Fan art by Bladnoch

Dark Elves where originally a faction of Wood Elves that refused to stop studying dark magic from the Igneo culture. Exiled from Syrtis, they arrived in the barren desert of Ignis with the Esquelios (exiled Alturians). There, they found the native Moloks and formed an alliance with them. To separate themselves from their kind, these elves performed a ritual that changed the skin of their whole population. Today, all 3 defend Ignis. They abandoned archery, the way of Wood Elves in favor of swordsmanship while retaining their innate magical abilities, making them vicious warriors and adept mages.
