Dark Elves

Dark elves are distant relatives to wood elves. Their similarity begins and ends with their looks. Unlike wood elves, these dark-complexioned beings are very fond of mischief and are usually are very mean and common morals have no real value to them. They can be very good wizards or rangers, but most of them take the road of wandering rogues.

Their active time begins at night, as the other species usually lay already in their beds. Their sight is, therefore, very well adapted to starless nights. They are experienced magic users and have developed several magic resistances as well, especially against cold and lightning. Their favourite weapons are daggers and sabres, with their evasive skills making it harder to hit them.

But the strongest dark elf specialties are theirs poisons, on which they gain great bonuses. They are also poison-resistant and through their cunningness and intimidation many dark elves become valuable, but also feared leaders.

They despise swords and all blunt weapons, with shield-users are in their eyes ‘weaklings’. Their feeling of superiority over all other "low-life" species, makes them a very poor and miserable negotiators and merchants. No dark elf has ever been seen working as a cleric, or as an alchemist.
