Dark Elves in Fiction - General Dark Elf Lore

General Dark Elf Lore

Dark elves are known for their aggression, deceit, and stealth. They are very brutal and cruel by nature, having little mercy when it comes to cheating, battling, or anything dealing with the life of another being. They have little respect for even their own kind, at times waging war against each other. However, clans are known to band together, to combat invasions and attacks by other races. They do not mix blood with other races. They lurk in dark places and love the shadows. Rarely will they come into the light for needless purposes, but it is not usually believed light will harm or weaken them. Their weakness varies upon legend, and may include excessive heat, rain, nettles, or the blossoms of some plants and trees. Dark elves generally travel in pairs or groups, as their tendencies towards cheating and theft make them targets for retaliation and violence at the hands of other races.

    The following general definition of an animal: a system of different organic molecules that have combined with one another, under the impulsion of a sensation similar to an obtuse and muffled sense of touch given to them by the creator of matter as a whole, until each one of them has found the most suitable position for its shape and comfort.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    My beautiful, my beautiful! That standest meekly by,
    With thy proudly-arched and glossy neck, and dark and fiery eye!
    Caroline Sheridan Norton (1808–1877)

    OUR Latin books in motly row,
    Invite us to our task—
    Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
    Yet there’s one verb, when once we know,
    No higher skill we ask:
    This ranks all other lore above—
    We’ve learned “’Amare’ means ‘to love’!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
