Dark Elves

The Dark Elves who occupy the central Outlands are followers of the Chaos Gods. They call themselves the Druchii and are a race of harsh, warlike and vicious Elves. They dwell in the mountainous regions of the central Outlands. They are most often dark-skinned, but many of them are pale skinned and have raven black hair. They are cruel, sadistic raiders with much disdain for all other races, especially their lighter kindred the High Elves. The Druchii believe themselves to be superior to all and equal to none.

The Druchii primarily worship the Elven god Kaela Mensha Khaine, the Bloody-Handed God and Thousand Faced Lord of Murder. While their kindred, the High Elves of Ulthuan, only invoke this wrathful god in times of war, the Druchii are wholly devoted to him. Each city has temples and shrines devoted to Khaine where blood sacrifices are made. Dark Elves are required to donate a percentages of the slaves they capture on raids to the temple but most Dark Elves make several additional sacrifices a year. The majority of the Druchii live in a large city known as Sereg (“Blood”), in the center of the Outlands.

The Great Devastation

In the spring of 2098KE, the dark elf wizards sought to harness the power of the great wyrdstone. In their attempt to do so, they destroyed themselves and most of their race. But they also laid waste to a vast portion of Eire, and created a devastation which appears to be spreading over the land.
