Dark elf

The Dark elves are an Elven race which rules the nation of Ismara in western Endor.

Appearance
The Dark elves are similar in height to humans.

Dark elves have skin tones varying from somewhat greenish and the more common gray to the occasional light blue. Their eyes are usually golden, amber, or bronze in color, with brown and gray as rare alternatives. Dark elf hair is typically dark in color, with occasional red.

Culture
The Dark elves are a proud race with traditions that extend back to the founding of Ismara.

Dark elf society is matriarchal, with women holding almost every aspect of political, religious or military power. Dark elf men often serve as teachers, artisans, farmers and/or merchants.

Dark elves celebrate four unique holidays:
 * Alle Shaeles: A day in which the spirits of the dead return to earth for one night.
 * Pasken: A day which celebrates when the Dark elves were freed from slavery.
 * Adank: A day which celebrates when Ismara was founded.
 * Sheyn: A week long holiday which celebrates the liberation of Ismara from the rule of the Tiber Empire.

Religion
The Dark elf religion is centered around the worship of the goddess Azura and her prophet Kora.
