Tetrarch Vellior:
Enlightenment is followed by sacrifice. If you
look back on the history of our race, you will
truly relize the truth of this teaching. When
the Great Sorcerer Dasparion came to us a
thousand years ago and proposed to teach us
black magic, we did not anticipate the sacrifice
we would have to pay in the future and
accepted his proposal.
When we were at war the Elves of the
light, the black magic spells we cast wiped out
the innocent Elves of the trees, due to
Dasparion's malicous plots. While the Elves of
the trees died, they cursed us with all teir
remaining strength. As a result, our beautiful
forest withered, our skin became scorched by
the sun, we went blind and became the
race of the Dark. For hundreds of years, we
lived hidden underground.
Now the curse of the Dark EDlves has been
broken and we live above the ground, but we
must not forget the high price we paid to earn
strength.
