[edit] Tenebrous Elves

[edit] Personality

Due to the particulars of the creation of the Tenebrous, flights of elvish fancy and amusement are seldom with the dour and contemplative Tenebrous. They are consummate trackers, following their marks with a patience that would rival most focused dwarves. Conversation tends to be brief and to the point, and anyone coming away from such a cursory dialogue often feels the Tenebrous divulged absolutely no information. Needless to say, the other races have a tendency to label the elves as impersonal and detached. Despite this , the Tenebrous are not inclined to derisive remarks or egotistical goading.

[edit] Physical Description

Tenebrous elves are of medium height and slim, standing about 5 feet to just under 6 feet. Like their High elf predecessors , they are graceful but frail, with the elven men the same height and only marginally heavier than the elven female. Their skin is almost always pale and the color of their hair is typically dark, with deep brown eyes. Tenebrous elves grow no body or facial hair . In any light except total illumination , the Tenebrous elves seem to be outlined by a slight shadowy aura. This aura allows the Tenebrous to blend into shadows, making them exceedingly capable of stealth and remaining unseen.

[edit] Relations

[edit] Alignment

The Tenebrous are unfailing and consistent. Following law is ingrained into the personality of these elves. It is their nature to be neutral in regards to the good versus evil axis.
