Dark Elf

The dark elves were moon elves once, and danced with the rest. But some among the dancers found in the night's magic the raising of the dead and the calling of monsters; and having these arts they looked at their kindred, who had such power and ruled nobody with it, and were ashamed of them.

So they went under the earth and left the moon behind. Their skin has turned black there and their hair white. They have great cities in the deep, and make war on all that lives near them, and when there is nothing else, on one another. They hate every elf that walks above. It is said in the upper world that a dark elf never forgets the moon, and never forgives it.
