The Dark Elves are very like their bright cousins, the Alfer, save for their deathly pale skin, dark hair, and lightless eyes. They have been poisoned by long association with evil influences (mostly left over from their lives as slaves to the Ymir). Svartalfr are twisted beings with little regard for life.

Svartalfr are built using the Elf Package Deal from Fantasy HERO. They shun light, and are often verygreedy. They live mostly on Svartheim, a colony world set aside for them by the Asgardr.
