Their hair is usually light, like white, silver or pale blonde, but this has it's exceptions, with black hair flowing as if it were in water. this hair is a sign of great misfortune, distraught or an evil heart.
They were once a tribe of elves who lived in the cold north blessed with the power of ice from the divines, But these once peaceful elves were taken over by greed and deceit, after outsider humans came to the shadow elves they introduced the dark arcane arts and with these new found powers the shadow elves sucame to the the curse of shar the god of darkness and loss. After receiving this curse the elves were imbued with a dark strong yet evil power, this power changed their race forever. The dark power, was given to all, but it devoured their once good clan, divided them and fused with their blessings of ice, thus the dark ice they use was created. However thr went on some returned to their previous nature, these losing their dark gift, the others were too obsessed with the power and gaining more to let it go.
They are becoming less primitive, but are too restrained by religion to join the civilized world.
