The dark elves' most distinguishing feature is their purple skin, which is usually of a very dark, almost black hue. Warlocks spend most of their lives indoors, so their skin is usually much bleaker. Like all elves, Charneldar have pointed ears of wildly varying length.
For the most part, the dark elves are considered extinct, as their Empire no longer exists; however, dark elves have recently been spotted in colonial establishments on the surface. The Val'Sharess is one of the rare surviving dark elves of the Moons Age, which places her age at over twelve hundred years old, at least.
