Extract from ‘The Darkest Legacy’ by Solin De’Teinde.
I care not to think of the reasons, or even repeat what I was taught by my elders, but long ago in our history yet another race of T’Iea were formed in secrecy, a dark and menacing race, still beautiful and graceful as any T’Iea, but dark and deceitful in nature. These T’Iea were not numerous and thankfully still to this day have never been great in number. Dark elves these people are called in the common tongue, T’Iea’Neat’Thegoran in the T’Iea language, the translation into the common tongue being ‘elves not yet forgiven’ for to all T’Iea they are viewed as a misguided people and as such we had to believe that they could also be redeemed.
At first we tried to meet the T’Iea’Neat’Thegoran as friends and it seemed for a while that they were willing to befriend us and take what we had to offer, but it soon became apparent that take was what they did, for in secret they perverted what we taught them and did not freely teach us anything in return, rather jealously guarding their knowledge. What they did have to offer seemed to have no reason to it and we did not accept their teachings and refused steadfastly to engage with their purposes.
