[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5967119, member: 52734"] Just for my own curiosity, this is from my own game system (54 Fantasy). Beyond it being for a different game, is this entry similar to what you would like to see in 5E? If not, what should be different? ELF, DARK Elves are peculiar creatures of the natural world. Dark elves are generally scheming and grasping creatures who have let their desires consume them. Dark Elves are usually found in underground or treacherously overgrown areas of wilderness.
