Civilization and Culture

History

The elves that would one day become the Dusk Elves, were originally made up of elves that didn't agree with the empire's treatment of the other races and the constant schemes, machinations, war, assassination, and betrayals for power and control. These elves escaped underground either to try and make a better life or self-exiled to prevent their own deaths.
