The Faceless race.

Magnus, come on, if it were a drow, they wouldn't have let Railag compete for power:)
The Faceless are an unnecessary race...
Well, Ksel, you're on fire... how is it that "only one Faceless remained"? I admit, I might not know something, but, come on, they pray to the Faceless!!! And one more thing... Malassa is just a RATIONAL LIZARD:) so to speak. And Elrath is a descendant of Asha. And even if that's not the case, who are the Black Dragons then? They must be clones:) Plus, in the end, Malassa is not opposed to Eldar! She's on the sidelines!
(Magn, if you've read Le Guin, here's a thought - T.E. is a mix of drow and Karg.)

It's logical, but the problem is that in my head, logic is fighting with common sense :)
Logic - the Nival website says about their culture, and it turns out that they are drow
Common sense - the Nival website says that they are dark elves, and there are also facts that Railag is the clan leader, Tralsai is the clan leader, Sorgall is Railag's general
Logic - but the laws say that any of Malassa's children could compete for the right to become the leader
Common sense - but this suggests that it's not a matriarchy
Logic: but a matriarchy can exist in the management of cities, their clans, and there is only a Guardian of the Laws, not a Guardian, and the title of the Shadow Matriarch
to be continued,
Malassa is an elemental dragon, I don't know how she became one, but it is known that Asha created 6 elemental dragons:
Arkat
Silat
Shallasa
Silanna
Elrath
Malassa
even the Sphinx talks about this
the black dragon is Malassa's servant, just as the Angel is Elrath's.
The Faceless may be the black dragons. In short, why are we guessing when we can ask Nival through philosophical reasoning, but the probability that they will answer is 0%, it's good if they don't even write a comment, 8)
