Yeah, the blog started as a place to organise my homebrew setting but has now evolved to be a dumping place for my ideas and everything else conserning gaming.
Shadow Elves
Posted 21st July 2008 at 09:23 AM by Blackrat
Shadow Elves are one of the rarest subspecies of elves. During the early days of the Elven Wars, the Mori clan broke into two. The Spider worshipping Dark Elves and the Star worshipping Star Elves (who would one day be called Shadow Elves). The cruel goddess Spider cursed the Star Elves with blindness, and her curse was so strong that their own god couldn't break it. But he blessed his children by giving them supernatural hearing and other senses, and so they could live perfectly without eyesight. But the cruelness of the curse was that they could no more see the stars they so loved.
It was the Star Elves who eventually created the curse that drove their Spider worshipping cousins underground. This was their revenge, and it was horrid, for the Dark Elves loved nothing more than the warmth of the sun on their skin.
Afterwards the Star clan secluded themselves and moved through yet another weil between the worlds to the world of Shadows. There in the great wasteland of dead woods, they built their homes and became known as Shadow Elves. Now they pass on to the world from time to time, in the outskirts of the Everwoods, and fight the Dark Elves whenever they find them.
It may be because of both the Curse and the Blessing, that the corrupting forces of the Shadow World has never taken ahold of the Shadow Clan. They are still physically the most imposing elves. Their skin is dark with a tint of blue to it, giving them a likeness to a gentle summer night. Their hair is silvery like the stars and their form is lithe yet strong. As a result of the ancient days they are still all blind, but their other senses are so astute that they can actually sense everything but colors by other supernatural ways.
