Dark Elves are a younger race, descended from the Elves. The only difference between Elves and Dark Elves is that your ancestors sided with the Incantors of Duanrahel during the Sundering. During the fall of Duanrahel, they either fled across the surface and went into hiding or descended into the Underdark. Dark Elves are also recognisable by their pointed ears.
Makeup Advice
The only common makeup component for Dark Elves is the pointed ears held on using spirit gum. There are a wide variety of ear styles and is entirely up to personal choice as to which ears to use.
Playing Notes
Believing themselves to be superior to other younger races, and other Elves, Dark Elves are often arrogant and dismissive of younger or “lesser” races. It is not unusual to find Dark Elves that feel they are superior to Drow as well, believing the Drow scarified too much of the Dark Elven identity.
Whilst not as paranoid as the Drow, the Dark Elves still do not trust easily.
