Description Last one!! RIGHT, so I've been wanting to put Dark Elves up for a while, so here be their lore! AND JUST A FEW...

---------------

MORE FACTS:

- Dark Elves aren't actually all that good at magic. They've been away from the surface for so long that many of their former magic arts have been lost to time. However, nowadays, they are truly best at resisting magic, and finding themselves able to shrug off many forms of magical damage. 

- Very few Dark Elf Noble Houses have survived to the present day. Many have been wiped out by their own incessant infighting and active attempts to extinguish one another. The few that remained have had to rely on relationships with commoners to continue propagating their bloodline.  

- Because Noble Houses aren't really trusted by Svartalfheim's people to lead a stable society, Dark Elves are nowadays more closely knit together, operating like a clan. They also encourage their children to act as aggressive and confrontational as them. Their treatment of them may even seem almost comically abusive but well...they can handle it quite well.  

- Females in old Dark Elf culture were once priveleged above males, as they supposedly were favored by Voritas, the Goddess of Vengeance. Hence their old penchant for doing justice to those who wronged them. Now? Females no longer get the special treatment that they used to get in old Elvish society, because female and male Dark Elves are equally prone to crass, buffoonish behavior. 

- In some parts in the world...some Noble Houses have survived. Mostly remnants of those who had found ways off of Svartalfheim after its fall, and deliberately left their fellow Dark Elves behind. Many are old, but retain much of their old ways. A fact that makes modern Dark Elves detest them greatly.

After reading about their description, I'll have to brainstorm more on my own Dark Elf character. Anyway, very impressive work!
