"Some say we are all killers, heartless takers of lives. In truth, some of us are, but I won’t tell you which and neither will any of the rest of us. Smart folk assume we all are. That’s our strength."

Rimain

Few races have a more notorious reputation than Dark Elves. Some of the most vicious crimes of recorded history have been perpetrated by them, or more accurately, have been blamed on them. Dark Elves generally are not very defensive about such generalizations, commonly being somewhat aloof regarding their notorious heritage. This makes many folk suspect them even more.

Dark Elves are not a rare sight in almost all of the clans and cover all social levels and occupations. Their more sinister talent for finding lethal places to slip a dagger has earned them their reputation, however. Despite this reputation, many Dark Elves have gone on to become great heroes and well-liked leaders.

Dark Elves, like Sylvan Elves, are frail of body. They favor stealth, and in doing so, do not wear armor that is bulky or creates noise. While Dark Elves can function normally in daylight, the condensed energy of a Light spell can stun them. Like their Sylvan Elf cousins, Dark Elves are very strong willed and many are capable of resisting charm and sleep effects completely.
