			This enigmatic race is frequently presumed to be evil, though more accurate descriptions may be fierce and calculating.

			The unforgiving deep forests and caves leading to the Underdark are their natural home. They will only venture into the light of day when they have great need.

			The Dusk Elves once belonged to Elven society and though separate still have a place with in it. Though they have their own nobles and courts, these are not from the Spark as the houses of the High Elves are.

			The Dusk Elf’s sensitive eyes are caused pain by daylight, and they tend to avoid daytime or cover their faces with hoods. Furthermore, an open mind is a weakness and thus Dusk Elves go to great lengths to shroud their thoughts as well.

			===Makeup Requirements===
			The player must wear ashen, light gray to night black make-up on all exposed skin, the coloration may be highlighted as well to emphasize an Elven / alien look. Most Dusk Elves have gray, silver, or white hair, with a rare exception having flame red Hair. All Dusk Elves must wear pointed ears. Dusk Elf males do not have facial hair.

			Dusk Elves tend to wear lots of dark hooded clothing, or blacks. Also, spiders, skulls, and other macabre images are common on their clothing.

			===Population===
			3 per 100 players in the game.

			===Profession Information===
			'''Preferred Professions:''' Knight of Strife, Duelist

			'''Forbidden Professions:''' Marauder

			'''Preferred Magic:''' Wrath & Ethereal

			'''Forbidden Magic:''' None

			===Affinities===
			'''Weapon:''' Single Edged Short & Longsword, and Crossbow ''(DR with Bladesong)''

			'''Magic:''' Celestial & Wrath

			'''Production:''' Poisons

			===Skill Information===
			'''Special Skills:''' Weapon Damage (Both) (called Bladesong by the Elves), Resist Sleep & Resist Charm (up to 5 each)

			'''Special Masteries:''' Dusk Elven Weapon Master (Bladed Weapons & Crossbow) ''(may use two Dusk Elf swords for Special Affinity DR)''

			===Inherent Advantages:===
			Dusk Elf characters may purchase the Resist Sleep, Resist Charm and Resist Mind Effecting up to five (5) times each.

			The Crossbow skill is a staple of childhood combat training, and a Dusk Elf may purchase this skill for half skill cost, rounded up.

			When using a crossbow, all Dusk Elves gain a +2 damage bonus above any Weapon Damage and/or magic bonus they have with the crossbow.

			Dusk Elves excel at the arts of war and have developed a Weapon Mastery to go along with their natural agility.

			Dusk Elves may purchase the Weapon Damage (Both) skill and practitioners of this style of combat are known as Death Dancers.

			Starting Dusk Elves may buy the Nobility skill if they wish.

			===Inherent Disadvantages:===
			Size and physique prevents the Dusk Elf from purchasing the Two-Handed Blunt, Two-Handed Cleaving, or Two-Handed Master skills.

			A Dusk Elf suffers from physical weakness in bright light or daylight. The Dusk Elf suffers a –10 hit points penalty at these times. This may cause weaker Dusk Elves to go comatose during these times, though they will not die and will recover once in darkness. Similarly, the Light spell (Terrestrial, 1st Level) causes a Dusk Elf to be blinded for 10 seconds. A Rune of Brightness (Rune, 1st Level) and an alchemical Light Elixir will have the same effect if activated within 5’.

			''''Note:'''' ''You must have a Marshall’s approval to play a Dusk Elf

			Note: All Players wishing to start a Dusk Elf must have achieved enough experience to be at minimum Level 10, in addition to Marshal approval before creating one of these beings.''
