Shadow Elves Shadow elves were once high elves that had become trapped on the plane of shadows

for over one hundred years; over this time they changed to become more suited to their new environment. Shadow elves tend to be slightly taller than high elves with the common range being 5 foot 6 to 6 foot 3, with either stand high elves pale skin or even a purple color (on rare occasions Shadow elves might have black skin akin to drow, but this is exceedingly rare). Common eye colors for brown, light green, silver, with blue and purple being the most common color. They have the same general hair color ranges as high elves, though some may have a stranger color hair. Shadow elves often have a swirling aura of shadows around their body most commonly when they are conflicted with a powerful emotion, but are always present in dim lighting. While this shadowy aura isnt black, as it is commonly a shade of purple, it does often give them a dark, evil look. Shadow elves are commonly chaotic neutral, neutral evil, neutral good or lawful evil alignment, with chaotic neutral and neutral evil being the most common. Shadow elves communities have strong connects to one and another, just like normal elven communities, but are not as socially strict in their beliefs as most elves are. However, they (while not xenophobic like other elves) take the elven we are better than, those non-elves to larger extremes as they are rather cruel to most non elves going so far as to willing torturing such individuals for little to no reasons. As a whole the shadow elves want to spread, to go as far and wide as possible, to go and dominate the world or even further, if possible. However, not all shadow elves are like this some are not as prone to harm non-elves like their other brethren and others would like their race to go back to how they were before they became trapped in the plane of shadows for 100 years.
