Dark Elf
From WikiWatch
Conquerors of the Underfoot
Dark Elves are the embodiment of evil and maliciousness. Sinister, cunning and dangerous, dark elves coolly prey upon the weak and the ignorant. Dark Elves look down upon all other races, but in the past have made use of trolls and ogres as evil pawns. Dark Elves are one of the three known ancient elf races, they are known by the elf word, Teir'Dal, a word meaning "elf of the abyss." They have existed for ages in the dark underworlds of Norrath.

General
Dark elves have skin tones ranging from deep purple to blue with contrasting lightly colored hair. Like other elves, they have pointed ears and graceful features, make their coloring all the more exotic by human standards. Averaging approximately 5 feet in height they are lithe humanoids with defined musculature. Dark elves possess high intelligence and wisdom, making them well suited to master the magical arts of the mage and priest. Their agility is respectable and together with their innate cunning, can greatly aid a dark elf on the path of the scout.

Background
Legend has it that the Innoruuk, the Prince of Hate was so jealous of Tunare's creation of the High Elf, that he captured the first elven king and queen and tortured them over the span of 300 years, tearing them apart and rebuilding them in his own twisted image, creating the dark elf. Thusly, they are one of the three known ancient elf races, one of the oldest on Norrath. They are known by the elf word, Teir'Dal, a word meaning "elf of the abyss." In the darkness of the Underworld, they built their city of Neriak, a city of dark majesty which was lost in the cataclysm.
The dark elves have embraced Hate as a guiding force in their lives believing that Hate, when disciplined, makes them strong and focused. At the same time when inspired in others, can be a means to corrupt and control them. The practice of necromancy, which the Teir'Dal see as Innoruuk's gift to their race, is very much at the core of their culture. Tier'Dal dress is both alluring and functional and highly ornate, no matter for war or ceremonies. Their garb often shows details illustrating the history of their race or family house.
Dark elves look down upon all other races, but have no qualms using others as their pawns. While ogres have regained their former intellect and are no longer prone to Teir'Dal manipulation, dark elves will use anyone they can to further their own agenda.
Faith
The Teir'Dal remain devoted to their maker, Innoruuk. Their religion is rigid to the extent of fanatisism and tolerate no deviation or interpretation of doctrine.
