History
before the race of the dark elves was born, some of the elves who lived in the terror forest had a darker skin, those elves with a darker skin were always seen as inferior by the lighter elves, which often denigrate them, those dark skinned elves were used as slaves in their society, until a brave elf (ker-nan) started to resist to the abuse that the lighter elves inflicted on the darker ones, than he led the darker elves to a riot against the lighter elves, but since the lighter elves outnumbered them, ker-nan and the other darker skinned elves had no other option than migrate in another land, away from the lighter elves, after hard months crossing the mountains, the elves reached the new free land, soon they settled there and formed they're nation. Now that all the darker elves breeded only between each other, the genetic code became narrower (expecially the one that regulate the melanin levels) and eventually a new race of elves was born.
