dark elves
During the third Order of the world, the dark elves get separated from most other races. Their lands are only bordering to human lands and in this time of quarrel among humans only few people are willing to listen to problems of another race. But beeing also a proud race, they are unwilling to beg or even ask directly for aid.
Their closest relation remains with the light elves but they can do little to help their befriended peoples, beeing at home a long way of.
Thus they continue to live their lives in the far north where winters are cold and long and summers short.

Civilization and Culture
History
Given by the gods the lands in the uttermost north-west, the dark elves have ever stuck mostly with their own kin. From the earliest days on they worked strong magic in their lands and were very protective of their lands and secrets. They became proud of their accomplishments and thought little of anyone unable to work magic or to cast spells. This was often seen as arrogance and yet they were envied their power.
During the great demonwar they fought bravely altough they needed not fear the demons at first as their land was far from the great desert . When the spirits descended onto the Land they immediately revered them greatly for they could sense their power and feel their wisdom. So it came that when the spirits finally destroyed the hordes of demons but were left with an even greater evil to deal with, the dark elves wer willing to give up even their homes to aid the spirits. Thus they were forced to leave the place they where they had done so much and worked such powerfull magic. They never recovered wholly to this day

Common Myths and Legends
As dark elves reject writing in any form, their past lives in their memory and is passed on as myths and legends. These are often very close to the historical truth and should therefore not be confused with myths of many other races. Yet it may be said that there are some unruths or certain soft changes in the stories that can change with the clan it is told by or a single person that tells something from own experience. One fact for certain is that in their legends both immortal spirits and dark elves are never the villains
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
As long as their memory reaches back, dark elves have been strong in their working of magic. Anyone unable to do as they do they look down on and see themselves as more worthy. This does not however make them cruel or unwilling to help but it is simply a given fact to them.
