The Dark Elves separated from the Wood Elves, making a pact with the mysterious Faceless Ones. Then, their entire people embraced Darkness and began to live in the underground world, building their cities in vast underground caves. The Dark Elves worship the dragon of darkness and prove their devotion to it through actions in its honor, so the Dungeon society is built on secrecy, intrigue, betrayal, and occultism. Each city is ruled by its own clan, headed by a High Priestess. Women are all-powerful in this society, as they control the religious, political, and military power. They do not raise children themselves: instead, they send them to the Temple, where they are taught all the sciences that a young Dark Elf must know to survive in this world.


In peaceful times, the Dark Elves use their very specific skills against other Dark Elf cities to strengthen their clan. But during wartime, all their skills will be directed at killing, and the power of intrigue will be unleashed on the common enemy. As warriors, the Dark Elves are known for their exceptional strength and agility, which even their lower-ranked troops possess. Fortunately for their enemies, their exceptionalism comes at a high price, and the growth of warriors is slow, so the Dark Elves are few in number, and the loss of each warrior is a serious blow to their military power.
