Introduction

The Dark-elves are an extinct race of elves that once lived on the Lunatara Continent leaving the Wood-elves as the only living major elven race left. They were wicked fighters and followed their leader, the god Kronos, to get revenge against their brethren Wood-elves who forced them out of their old homeland.

History

Together with the Wood-elves the Dark-elves were the oldest race on Terra and before being wiped out they were considered one of the most powerful races known on Terra. Their great skill in both physical and magical combat made them feared amongst their enemies. They were also known for their great magical treasures and their ability to find rare metals and materials.

The birth of the World

At the dawn of Terra, Lumati god of nature, decided that he would create a people more intelligent than the animal life Auriell had already created. These creatures became a copy of himself and his two siblings, Zeni and Kronos. He called them the Elves and as they evolved they split into many separate groups who evolved into getting their own powers and features as the years went by. The Wood-elves stayed with their god and tended to the nature, while the Dark-elves who had gained the dark skin of Lumati's sister began worshiping her and moved to other lands far away on the Lunatara Continent.

Act of Jealousy

Kronos, who had always compared himself to his brother were now jealous as Lumatis powers over nature were able to create life while his powers over time and space did not have the power to do so. He gained the help of the Dark Soul, whose real name had been lost in time, and together they worked to destroy the elves in silence. They gave them the ability to feel anger and hate and this quickly spread across all the elven races except the Longbreed who were strangely unaffected and in an attempt to get away from their newly made enemies they hid themselves in the large cave system known as the Dark Deep. With this new feeling, the Wood-elves and the Dark-elves began fighting against each other.

The Elven Wars

During the beginning of the Elven Wars the Wood-elves were at a disadvantage. The only thing keeping the Dark-elves from attacking them were the great defense of the capital Sinaya. However, to their great fortune, the Atlanteans emerged from the sea and after tried to get a friendly solution to the war. They failed however and they decided to join the Wood-elves and create the Holy Order. Shortly after the Atlanteans had joined both the Dwarves and Halflings joined the order. The Wood-elves now had a great advantage over the Dark-elves. With a final strike the last of the Dark-elves where pushed back to their capital. After a long epic battle between Lumati and Kronos the Wood-elves emerged as winners and started the Dark-elf Holocaust.

The Dark-elf Holocaust

After the war was won the wood elven elders decided that all of the remaining Dark-elves would be hunt down and killed, even innocent women and children, to pay for their crime against nature. This order was done swiftly and despite their effort to hide every last one of the Dark-elves had now been killed by their old enemy. However after the Dark-elves had been killed the Dark Soul, who had now become totally insane after loosing his powers as a god, used his last strength to resurrect Kronos and his fellow Dark-elves. However his powers was not strong enough to return them totally alive and they returned as the new Undead legion.

Threat of the Undead

The Undead spread quickly, growing stronger with each of their enemies killed, and soon their new realm Kronopia where one of the strongest forces on Terra. Ever since that day the Wood-elves and the Holy Order have done everything in their powers to stop the them.

Notable Dark Elves

• Narius Darkblade - Officer of a taskforce that encountered Althiril and Altheia.

Appearance

The Dark-elven facial features are more angular and defined, with almost almond shaped eyes and also pointed ears. They are slightly shorter than the average human races and tend to be more slender as well as graceful. They do not grow hair anywhere on their body except for on their head and the color on the hair can be in shades from white to a light-gray or silver, to odder colors like red, blue, purple and in some rare cases pink. Their skin in different shades of black, ebon or a very dark purple or blue. Dark-elves are thought of as more beautiful than other races, even more so than their Wood-elven counterparts. They do not grow weaker or loose their youthful appearance when growing old.

Culture

The Dark-elven culture works around strength and skill to decide rank amongst their people, though weak persons are never treated badly and are always made sure they are healthy. However whenever it is possible to sacrifice a lower ranked person in order to avoid a highly ranked person being damaged or hurt there is no question about the sacrifice being made, the higher ranked will do it without thinking.

Relations

The Dark-elves have no good relationship with any other race, as they believe(and are probably right) that bringing in any other race into their ranks will only dstroy the perfect balance in their strikes.

Faith

The Wood-elves almost exclusively worships Kronos who where the one who took them under their wing when the Wood-elves forced them away from Lunatara. Most Illusionists still worship Zeni to honor their magic and gain her protection in battle.

Technological Status

The Dark-elves use few technological weapons and instead rely in raw magical power, which they successfully manage to invoke into their gear.

Warfare and Tactics

In battle the Dark-elves fight using the famous Elven fighting style. They move constantly, as if they were dancing, and avoid any incoming attacks while looking for opportunities to strike at their enemies. To gain advantage in their strikes the Dark-elves uses the darkness and shadow to their advantage and ambushes are amongst the most common technique to gain advantage.
