Dark Elves

Several centuries ago a group of elves were banished from their forest home when they started to bulk against the seclusion of all elves. Sentenced to live beneath the earth for their continued wanderings into the mortal realm, most now have an extremely dislike/hatred for their elven cousins. Unable to feel the sun upon their skin they adapted in order to live in their current environment. When night falls they are allowed to come to the surface and know the freedom of clean air. However with the sunrise the spell cast on them forces them back beneath the earth. Living in seclusion deep beneath the earth they share much in common with their elven cousins. They are natural immortals (immune to disease, recover rapidly from wounds, heal others). However like mortals they can be killed. They also possess a natural ability with bow and arrows, remarkable agility, heightened senses, and affinity with all of nature. Their height, black/light gray/purplish skin tone, white/silver/black/purple hair, dark/silver eyes, and pointed ears make them easily identifiable. Because they reside deep beneath the earth they also share an affinity with metals and gems. The men have continued practicing their skills, while the women have stayed docile and subservient.
