Night Elves
The Night Elves are an violet skinned and white eyed elven subrace found in the Principality of Dusk'rah. They live mostly underground and are the only nocturnal race of mortals, active by night and dormant by day. Closely related to the Dark Elves, some have suggested that the Night Elves are merely a subrace of a subrace, being a variation of Dark Elves. Though they share much in biology and culture, there are distinct differences. The Night Elves are a far more malevolent race, their culture praises subordination, uniformity, zealotry, and total isolation and hostility from cultures they consider alien to their own. The cruel Night Elves have been known to make proficient dark mages, necromancers, and assassins.

Culture
Average technological level
While many in the continent would describe them as technologically inferior, it would be more accurate to describe the Night Elves as having tread a different path altogether. Being isolated as they are and mostly historically interacting with Deep Elves and Dwarves, the Night Elves developed bizarre and alien technologies and inventions that have few parallels on the surface.
Birth & Baptismal Rites
Upon birth, Night Elven parents will take the offspring to their seer and the seer will determine what station the baby will be at in their life, such as a worker, warrior, and so on. They almost always inherit the caste of their parents with few exceptions.
Funerary and Memorial customs
When a Night Elf dies, traditionally, their family or organization will mummify or taxidermy their corpse and keep it in their place of residence, almost as a decoration. Their funeral involves this corpse being present and treated as though they're still alive and in communication with guests.
Major organizations
They form the majority of Dusk'rah as well as a distinct plurality of nearby nations, especially the Empire of Daeruin.
