Black elves are one of the races of elves in the world of Daventry
Background[]
They are extremely ugly and evil, live underground, and are descended from maggots. They love to inflict injury and sickness on people.[1] Like other elves they have their own kings, laws, and customs, but do not live together in towns and cities.
Behind the scene[]
The black elves originate from Norse mythology known as the svartálfar. Some scholars think they are synonomous with dwarfs, and potentially the dark elves (dökkálfar) as well.
