We're forced underground in what is now known as the Underdark, a vast system of caverns and tunnels spanning much of the continent. The dark elf have since built cities across the Underdark, becoming one of the most powerful races therein. They have adapted to seeing better in the darkness than in the light, and they rarely, if ever, venture up to the surface, for their eyes are sensitive to the light. Dark Elves characters are extremely intelligent, charismatic and dexterous, but share surface elves' comparative frailty and slight frames. Females tend to be bigger and stronger than males. They are characterized by white or silver hair, obsidian black skin, and red (or rarely gray, violet, or yellow) eyes, as well as innate spell powers and spell resistance. This is balanced by their weakness in daylight. As a race they are usually evil yet some become neutral evil on occions. Dark Elves have been fighting demon hordes for thousands of years. They have unfortunately lost the wars and are forced to live with surface dwellers. They are scattered throughout the lands as they claim no town of their own. May you be weary for they are one of the most dangerous race to ever exist!
