Hive of Races

Fallen Elves Race

Dark Elves of the Grim Hearts clan, who chose to serve Urgash rather than Malassa. After their defeat in the battle against the Shadow-Branded clan, the remnants of the clan moved toward the nearest portal to Sheo, where they were met by Vayer, a new vassal of Kha-Belekh, who offered a deal: they would sell their souls to the Overlord, and in return, he would grant them the power that had been reserved for the Dark Messiah.

Color - red, purple

Emblem - a black flaming dagger plunged into a skull.

Location - Dungeons of Ashan - the race leads a nomadic lifestyle and uses dungeons for sabotage and clearing the way for the demon army. They almost never emerge to the surface.

Capital - Darkflame - the largest mobile city of the Fallen Elves (second only in scale to Zehir's Ilm-Hijra), located near the largest underground portals to Sheo.
