Dark Elves (@Dark Elf) are a faction of elves. The difference between Dark Elves and common Elves is cultural and political, and this split developed sometime during the Age of Legends. Dark Elves are actually the same race as elves, and they are physically identical and indistinguishable from regular elves. Dark Elves are quite racist and xenophobic, seeing non-elven races as being too incompetent to govern themselves. They tolerate other elves and half-elves. Most of them admire Arronax. They are the subject of discussion in the book T'sen-Ang: Horror Among the Dark Elves.
Dark Elves tend to live in T'sen-Ang, but are occasionally encountered in the larger cities like Tarant and Caladon.
