Superior Darkvision. Accustomed to the depths of the Underdark, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.
Trance. Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. If you meditate during a long rest, you finish the rest after only 4 hours. You otherwise obey all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed.
Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.
Drow Magic. You know the dancing lights cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the faerie fire spell once with this trait; you regain the ability to cast it when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the darkness spell once per day with this trait; you regain the ability to cast it when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Drow Weapon Training. You have proficiency with rapiers, shortswords, and hand crossbows.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Elves are considered children until they declare themselves adults, some time after the hundredth birthday, and before this period they are called by child names.
On declaring adulthood, an elf selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child name. Each elf's adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of respected individuals or other family members. Little distinction exists between male names and female names; the groupings here reflect only general tendencies. In addition, every elf bears a family name, typically a combination of other Elvish words. Some elves traveling among humans translate their family names into Common, but others retain the Elvish version.

Major Organizations

The dokalfar fall into three sub groups. 
The Maladari are the most prominent. They remain loyal to Vildoros, capturing surface dwellers to sacrifice to the god of undeath.
The Xathren are a matriarchal society that worship the shadow coven, most notably the goddess Xar. They seek to corrupt the world and reshape it in their own dark image.
Galad iae is elvish for light scorned. This is what the few dokalfar who shun their dark heritage are called, for they can never truly bask in the light of day again.

Major Language Groups and Dialects

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.

History

The Dokalfar once counted themselves among the race of elves. They were ruled by the first king of their people Vildoros Maladir. When the king died the elves were so over taken with grief that they turned to dark magic to bring him back to life. The ritual worked but at a heavy price. The once noble king was now a fiend thirsting for blood and souls, while the elves themselves were touched by darkness, never to bask in the sun's light again.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

The Dokalfar are not well received by any surface dwelling race. even among their own kind it is best that they stick to members of their own family.
