Dark-Elves

Overview
Dark-Elves are High-Elves which got corrupted through Abaddon and turned towards the dark arts of their master. As a result of Abaddons gifts, they exceed at magic, but it also turned their skin black. However not all Dark-Elves are true followers of Abaddon, some may only be the descendends, but they inherited the gifts and the hate of the other races aswell.

History
During the great war many elves were terrified by the horrors unleashed by Abaddon, yet some were also fascinated by the shear amount of power. It was only a matter of time when a group of six High-Elves, namely Rid'nala, Nezar, Enu'e, Noish, Val'jean and Ish'tar, decided it should be theirs to command. The first to return was Ish'tar, collapsing on the road short before an outpost of the High-Elves defenses at night. The guards brought him inside and after he awoke, he warned the High-Elves from his former friends. They too, returned to the High-Elves society, with their skin turned black and accompanied by a legion of demons under their command. After the massacre they became known as the first Dark-Elves, symbolic for their skin and leaving only ashes behind where ever they come along. After the war had ended they disappeared, their fate unknown.

After years had passed new elves with dark skin started to appear, less powerful then the original Dark-Elves, but still far stronger then the High-Elves. Despite no incidents occuring the High-Elves tried killing the Dark-Elves, which lead to multiple disasters as they defended themself. Overtime, they rallied together in Mamorek and with their new creation, the orcs, they forces the other races out. This victory was however cut short, as the orcs rebelled against their masters and in return forced the Dark-Elves out of Mamorek, which retreated to Zanathal and stayed there peacefully. Soon after some Ra'zil also started to populate the area and despite the aggressive nature of Ra'zil towards outsiders they decided to live together with the Dark-Elves.
