Cevenhel

The Cevenhel, or "Earthy Ones," are ash-skinned and red-eyed. They lived in the city of Garundil, until lava began to flood into it. As one of the sub-races of the Dark Elves, they are typically looked upon as "dark-skinned," "gloomy," and "ill-favored" and so on. The Cevenhel have powerful intellects and strong and agile physiques. They were typically bred into warriors and are powerful sorcerers.

The Cevenhel believe in their family traditions. They are often proud, clannish, ruthless, and cruel, from an outsider's point of view, but greatly value loyalty and family. Despite their powerful skills and strengths, the Cevenhel have a vengeful nature as age-old conflicts, betrayals, and ill-reputation prevent them from gaining more influence. Typically, the Cevenhel are the least beautiful of the dark elves. Their faces are more angular and their women typically lose their neotenous features earlier than most other dark elves.
