The Dark Elves
Story Of The Elves inside spoiler.
The elves were once a proud and noble race, with a kingdom of great beauty and awe.
The king of the elven kingdom had two sons, Eridinios and Ferdonal. The two brothers sent out on a hunt, a hunt in which the eldest, Eridinios, did not return from. A pool of blood being the only remains of him.
Many years had passed since the disappearance of Eridinios, and the king grew old and weary and needed an heir to pass the throne too. The king and queen decided that Ferdonal, being next in line after his brother, would take the throne, and so the crown would be passed to him.
One night before the coronation, a hooded stranger demanded entry to the kingdom, saying that he was Eridinios, the lost prince of the elves.
The city guard took him straight to the king, who did not believe that he was Eridinios, and that he was just a lowly peasant trying to steal the throne. He was taken to the dungeons, where he overheard guards talking about his brother's coronation, which lead him to believe that his father knew it was him but denied him because he favoured his younger brother. Enraged, Eridinios broke free from the guards, killing five of the six that escorted him. He then escaped to the palace. From his memory as a child, he knew where his parents chambers were, and with a blade in hand, he stole into their room.
The kingdom awoke to sad news of the death of the king and queen. Eridinios was chased out of the kingdom by the royal guard and Ferdonal after proof that he killed the king and queen from a maid.
Eridinios walked aimlessly for days, standing on the brink of madness. In his wanderings, he found a large dark fort that looked to abandoned. Upon entering, he stumbled across a table laden with food and drink. He ate and drank, then realized that there was a strange red being at the head of the table. The red being told him to not be afraid and watched on as Eridinios ate. The being listened to Eridinios story, and offered much more than just the elven kingdoms for Eridinios to rule over, but the whole world. All he had to do was serve this strange being.
He pledged his service to the red being, who in turn told him who he was. A Demon, or Penalite, a being in a great war against other beings, Angels, otherwise known as Benifates . The Penalite gave Eridinios a great army of lesser demons, in which he used to take over the kingdom. The royal guard was overrun, and Eridinios took the throne. The royal guard had no choice but to serve the king, no matter how mad they seemed. Ferdonal and a score of elves escaped the city to somewhere where they could prepare for war.
The demon army vanished, and Eridinios now had a powerful army of elves at hand. He renamed his kind the dark elves and told all to worship the Dark Demon, the being who saved him from death. But unknown to Erdidinios, he was just a pawn in something much larger...
Nothing stood in Eridinios's path, nothing but a kingdom of men...
So the war began
Dark Elven Muskets
These troops are formidable when it comes to mowing down Deltoran Soldiers before they can even get a meter away. (The guy with the sword is meant to be a bard type guy, but I forgot about that)
Knights of The Dark Demon
The mainstay of the elven army, these troops cut through almost any armor with their elvish blades, forged within the smithies of the dark lands.

Ranger Of Darkness
These warriors are clad in dark armour, making them hard targets for enemy archers. Their bows can be used in close combat and their arrows are laced with a poison that sucks the life out of it victim, slowly killing them.

Dark Assassin
The master of stealth and espionage. The Assassins of the dark elves are extremely deadly on the field, taking out entire squads of men without a scream.
Dark Priest
These dark elves are ready to do anything for their Penalite masters, even if it means sacrificing their own kin.
Lord Elridor The Dark
After the supposed death of Lord Eridinios, Elridor took up the mantle as Dark elf ruler. He has no mercy for those who do not worship the Penalites and will even kill women and children without a second thought. He is truly evil, slicing through enemies with ease with his Dark
RT powered blade, given as a gift from the Dark Priests after sacrificing 100 souls of men to the Dark Demon.
Units to add: Bard, Some Halberds and Demon Minions.
Constructive criticism is welcome. I will be posting more factions in the future, just need a reliable camera.
Thats weird, I can see it. Anyone else looked at this thread and noticed that?
