[edit] Description
Dark Elf
Dark Elves are one of the playable races of
Elf and can be found on the continent of
Qalia. They are a subterranean race, but a group of them established a home in
Mount Stiirhad and have clashed with
Ahgramun and
Mordebi frequently. Dark Elves are generally not trusted by others, and reciprocate the sentiment.
The Dark Elves of Mount Stiirhad have recently been driven from their home by an invading force of Elementals. They (supposedly) sought shelter at a nearby human outpost.
Dark Elf players begin near an Altar of Haelifur near Hathor Zhi, a fort within a great canyon guarding the route to the main Dark Elven city of Pankor Zhi.
[edit] Official Description
Destined to rule the world and enslave all others beneath them, the Dark Elves must hurdle one last obstacle, themselves. As a people, the Dark Elves are driven by one desire, the accumulation of power that is rightly theirs by blood, the blood of dragons.
One of the oldest races on Telon, the Dark Elves fled from their volcanic home of Stiirhad with their queen to establish a new empire at Pankor Zhi. They are now regrouping and preparing to destroy the mad king of Stiirhad and retake the true throne of the Dark Elves. First they must deal with the waifish elven rebels of Aeokor Zhi.
Distrusted by all the races on Qalia, the Dark Elves have few others to turn to for they refuse to ally with those beneath them. Only the Varanthari horse people, masters of the northern plains, are afforded an inkling of respect. For now.
With the blood of Haelufir coursing through their veins, Dark Elves make masterful Dread Knights, Rogues, Monks, Bards, Clerics, Disciples, Blood Mages, Sorcerers, Psionicists, and Necromancers.
[edit] Relevant Lore
"Mount Stiirhad ah, yes. Rivers of lava flowed in canyons beneath cities we carved from the living mountain. We watched our enemie's assaults upon us and laughed as they died and joined the ash in the air. We will beat back the Elementals, and return to our rightful home."
Dark Elf Noble
"My family fled Mount Stiirhad as the Elementals filled the halls with lava my father guarded our retreat. As we crossed the last threshold, I saw a towering beast of fire and lighting strike him down. It took many days of walking across the sand of Liath for us to reach this stinking outpost of humans. My mother waited until we reached safety before she took her own life in shame."
Dark Elf Child
"Trust the Dark Elves? You must be joking, my friend. Indeed, we work with them at this point in time, but I assure you this is only until they've outlived their usefulness. I'm sure this more pressing problem will be taken care of shortly, and then the Dark Elves will be next. They cannot be forgiven for their actions."

[edit] Welcome to Young Dark Elves
The following note is displayed to dark elves who enter the land of Telon without going through the Isle of Dawn.
- Bow your head, thin blood!
- You have arrived in the military outpost just outside of Hathor Zhi. Here, under the watchful eye of the Legion, you and other refugees from Stiirhad will be tested for overall usefulness to the Queen of Pankor Zhi.
- Though you may be a dark elf, and are entitled to rule over Telon, know that those of us with the true blood of Haelifur, Father of the Dragons, will reign supreme.
- While the rebels within Aeokor Zhi continue their laughable attempts to unseat our queen, their hindrance is as easily dismissible as it is mentioned. Once our legions have overthrown the mad king of Stiirhad and the bloodline of Haelifur is restored, there shall be none on Telon to oppose our power; not even the bloodless high elf cultists of Vol Tuniel.
- As a dark elf, you will be expected to root out traitors and project our obvious strength and superiority over the other races, as they are our subjects; assuming, of course, that you are worthy.
- Worry not soldier, there is hope for you yet; your blood has yet to be tested. As decreed by the Queen of Pankor Zhi, the blood of Haelifur must be chronicled so that the bloodline of our people might be restored.
