Vaeldrin's Mark Lore - Korrivar (Dark Elves)

Korrivar (Dark Elves) - Mutated abominations created by Kor, the Lord of Shadow

Kor wished to leave his mark on the face of Vaeldrin. He placed his hand on the fledgling world and stole away thousands of beings from eternals to the mortal races. The humans that he took were infused with the souls of demons which transformed them into the Korrivar, or Dark Elves. The Dark Lord cast them back into their homeworld where they gathered, a new race on the planet. In the northeastern lands of the Continent, they raised the realm of Koroth, or Kor’s land in the demon tongue which the Dark Elves speak fluently. While not inherently evil like their dark master, the elves practice dark warlock magic as well as necromancy. Kor gifted them them with the mastery of evil magic unlike the other races. Korrivar raids are common on giant lands whom they have fought in the north east for generations. 10 years before the events of the Marked Ones Prophecy, the elves marched on Argunheim with full force. The elven host was subsequently smashed in the fields around the city by giant forces. The giants then launched a vicious counterattack destroying much of the defences around Koroth. The dark elves lands now pay homage to Argunheim and have become a subservient state to the larger nation.
