Physical Description: Elves that have obviously been tainted by unholy energy, their skin is dark/ashen and their eyes are a deep red. Sometimes they are beautiful similar to Elves despite the dark appearance, and other times they appear monstrous…
Associated Class: Dark Elves have a dedication towards magic, especially unholy and psychic magic. Thus they often becomes Mages or Battlemages.
Associated Religions: Worshipping dark gods such as Lucifer, Danyries, or even Malakai, the deities which Dark Elves give reverence too are typically unholy in nature.
History: Dark Elves spawn from, go figure, Elves. However their history is less simplistic than most would assume. Being created by a sect of Elves who craved to harness immense power to combat YHVH after he banished them from their home, this group of Elves sought to be empowered by Lucifer instead. This empowerment came at a price, and the Dark Elves were left incredibly disfigured. Still, a great deal served his cause and obeyed his commands as they were given, driven by a need to now stand against YHVH and oppose him.
In Morta IV: Not well regarded by most other species, Dark Elves are constantly plagued by the prejudice and hatred from species who see them as Elves tainted by unholy energy, and thus evil. This of course leads Dark Elves down that very path, becoming spiteful towards the various species which hate them and seeking to hunt them down and attack them. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy with Dark Elves committing terrible acts and only furthering the prejudice against them.
Constantly fighting against Light Elves, Dark Elves often wage war over incredibly trivial reasons. Though land disputes are rare, the planet of Avarash is prone to these land disputes causing wars and thus fighting between Dark Elf and Light Elf armies. Because of this, those born of Avarash have been constantly taught about the importance of war and grow up with it as a daily reminder of their hate for both Light Elves but outsider species in general.
