Svartalfar
The Faceless of Malassa
The Faceless of Malassa
Svartalfar are the descendents of fey who settled within Malassa's Domain. By bonds of oath and bonds of blood, they became servants of the dark dragonness. They can be found anywhere the Fury’s work is being done. Often they take the role of the leaders or protectors of cults dedicate to her. Other times they use their darkly seductive natures to torment others, preferring to inflict spiritual pain over physical. They are often blamed for bringing nightmares or tragedy, even if they had no role in the events.
Physical Description:
Svartalfar appear human in form, except for ears which are pointed like an elf‘s. Their skin is very pale, to the point of almost being white. Their hair color ranges from a dark blonde to bone white and both males and females wear it long and loosely bound. In addition to looking human, svartalfar have similar builds and life spans.
The most alien thing about the svartalfar is their eyes, which are solid black or a near black purple. They decorate their torsos and upper arms with geometric tattoos.
These tattoos hold spiritual and tribal significance to the svartalfar. It is said that you can read a svartalfar’s entire life story in his tattoos.
Among their own kind, svartalfar wear dark colored clothing that show off their tattoos. For males this means that they wear only dark colored breeches and black leather boots. Females usually dress in a similar fashion, but add a halter top to the ensemble. Among other races they always add a long sleeved tunic and a hooded cloak to avoid outsiders seeing their tattoos
Adventurers: Most svartalfar who become adventurers are outcasts from their society. They are those who either failed to make it in society, or who felt stifled or uncomfortable in their rigid society. More recently however, many younger svartalfar have begun to become adventurers to prove themselves in society. While still rare, it is becoming more common to find svartalfar wandering the world in search of adventure.
