<section begin=faendryl />Once the leaders of the Elves, the Faendryl were cast out of the [[Elven Empire]] at the end of the [[Undead War]], for crimes the Elves were unwilling to forgive. Ever the leaders in terms of their mastery over magic, the Faendryl had dabbled in demon summoning. All the Elven houses were appalled at the spells the Faendryl had unleashed. They expressed their outrage by exiling the Faendryl to Rhoska-Tor.<section end=faendryl />

They expressed their outrage by exiling the Faendryl to Rhoska-Tor.


Slowly, the Faendryl began to change. Their features became even finer and sharper. Those living in the deepest caverns, those closest to the ruins of [[Maelshyve]], found their skin darkening to a brown or black.

It was some time later that the Faendryl Elves returned from their exile and founded [[New Ta'Faendryl]]. However, they would never again be a part of the great Elven Empire.

=== [[Dhe'nar]] ===


First splitting off from the rest of the elves before the formal creation of the Elven Empire and Elven Houses, the Dhe'nar spent generations exiled in Rhoska-Tor. Much like the Faendryl who came to Rhoska-Tor after them, their features and physical stature were forever changed.

Much like the Faendryl who came to Rhoska-Tor after them, their features and physical stature were forever changed.


The Dhe'nar are a race committed to perfection in all its forms; be it of the mind, the body, or the Family. The honing of a keen mind and intellect is the first goal of all Dhe'nari training, and perfection of the physical is just as important. Above all, however, is the overarching need to bring the Family to new heights, to demand the most from its members, and to insure that strength and rigor is rewarded, rather than punished.

Be advised, the Dhe'nar as a whole have taken conceit to a new level. They are viewed as self-centered egotists who have little compassion for the thoughts, rights or feelings of other cultures and races. Even the [[Khanshael]], with whom they have developed a close relationship, are little more than slaves in their society. These views are likely to make a Dhe'nar unpopular wherever he travels in the company of persons outside of his own culture.

===[[Evashir]]===
== Other Characteristics ==


<section begin=evashir />Originally a faction of elves who left prior to the creation of the [[Elven Empire]], the Evashir spent time studying [[Rhoska-Tor]] before leaving it to found their own nation far to the southeast. Now known as the Principality of Evashir, it is a small, independent principality on the southeastern coast of the Southron Wastes, isolated from the worst of Rhoska-Tor's influence by the Toskathyr Mountains. The dark elves who live there are descended from those who first researched Rhoska-Tor as well as from Faendryl and Dhe'nar who have joined them over the generations. Much like the Faendryl and Dhe'nar, the original Evashiran dark elves were changed by Rhoska-Tor's influence.<section end=evashir />
Due to the skill in dark magics that the dark elves possess, and their use of it during the [[Undead War]] and in the destruction of [[Ta'Ashrim]], the other elven houses loathe the dark elves. The inns within [[Ta'Illistim]], for example, have magics cast on them that prevent the entrance of an unescorted dark elf, and all shops within Ta'Illistim, [[Ta'Vaalor]], and [[Sylvarraend]] have severe [[Trading|price hikes]] for the darker skinned race.

Languages Common, Elven, Dark Elven

Dark elves can be distinguished by their sharper features and usually dark brown or black skin color. This anomaly with Dark Elven skin can be attributed to the mana foci in Rhoska-Tor where they were exiled to after the Undead War. They became bitter and resentful of their fair elven counterparts. They felt that their expulsion was more the result of political opportunism than anything else. Even today, Dark Elves are commonly shunned by their fairer brethren in the Elven Nations.

They possess a great love of knowledge and learning, possibly only outmatched by their fairer Illistim brothers. Dark Elves are said to have mastered both spiritual and elemental magic as no other race ever could. Also, Dark Elves are recognized for their striking architecture as the impressive palaces and estates of Ta'Faendryl can demonstrate.

Famous Dark Elves: Daephron Illian, Rythwier Faendryl (father of Chesylcha), Tahlad Faendryl

Did you know? Often times experiments performed by Dark Elven mothers can cause their child to have a lighter pigmentation, accounting for the dozens of light-skinned Dark Elves living in Elanthia today.

House of Faendryl

Once the leaders of the Elves, the Faendryl were cast out of the Elven Empire at the end of the Undead War, for crimes the Elves were unwilling to forgive. Ever the leaders in terms of their mastery over magic, the Faendryl had dabbled in demon summoning. All the Elven houses were appalled at the spells the Faendryl had unleashed. They expressed their outrage by exiling the Faendryl to Rhoska-Tor.

Slowly, the Faendryl began to change. Their features became even finer and sharper. Those living in the deepest caverns, those closest to the ruins of Maelshyve, found their skin darkening to a brown or black.

It was some time later that the Faendryl Elves returned from their exile and founded New Ta'Faendryl. However, they would never again be a part of the great Elven Empire.

Dhe'nar

First splitting off from the rest of the elves before the formal creation of the Elven Empire and Elven Houses, the Dhe'nar spent generations exiled in Rhoska-Tor. Much like the Faendryl who came to Rhoska-Tor after them, their features and physical stature were forever changed.

The Dhe'nar are a race committed to perfection in all its forms; be it of the mind, the body, or the Family. The honing of a keen mind and intellect is the first goal of all Dhe'nari training, and perfection of the physical is just as important. Above all, however, is the overarching need to bring the Family to new heights, to demand the most from its members, and to insure that strength and rigor is rewarded, rather than punished.

Be advised, the Dhe'nar as a whole have taken conceit to a new level. They are viewed as self-centered egotists who have little compassion for the thoughts, rights or feelings of other cultures and races. Even the Khanshael, with whom they have developed a close relationship, are little more than slaves in their society. These views are likely to make a Dhe'nar unpopular wherever he travels in the company of persons outside of his own culture.

Dhe'nar also have very high expectations for those of their own kind. Members of their Family who fail to meet these expectations may be treated in a very harsh manner, expelled from the Family or murdered.

Evashir

Originally a faction of elves who left prior to the creation of the Elven Empire, the Evashir spent time studying Rhoska-Tor before leaving it to found their own nation far to the southeast. Now known as the Principality of Evashir, it is a small, independent principality on the southeastern coast of the Southron Wastes, isolated from the worst of Rhoska-Tor's influence by the Toskathyr Mountains. The dark elves who live there are descended from those who first researched Rhoska-Tor as well as from Faendryl and Dhe'nar who have joined them over the generations. Much like the Faendryl and Dhe'nar, the original Evashiran dark elves were changed by Rhoska-Tor's influence.
