Back to top4) Dweller Elf Culture
Dweller Elves by their very nature can be a treacherous lot, more ready to kill you when your back is turned than to embrace you as a friend or ally. This is often true even when dealing with their own kind and even their own family. Because of this Dweller Elf societies usually involve a powerful matriarch who has established themselves via power, threat, and exaggeration. However these societies can change hands often. Dweller Elves do not celebrate much as they are always scheming and preparing for unknown plans. Most Dweller Elves are monotheistic choosing to worship the dark god Zodo.
Dweller Elves take pride in family names and use them for their surnames, however being a matriarchal society, family names often follow from the mother's side instead of the father's. The only time this is not the case is if the father had developed a fame and reputation far exceeding that of the mother or mother's family, which is very rare. First names that are given are meant to sound intimidating and powerful.
Back to top5) Dweller Elf Racial Relations
Dweller Elves do not get along well with other races, even those that are similar to them or have the same beliefs. Dweller Elves even rarely get along with one another. They choose not to, desiring power for themselves over anyone else at all costs, not caring who likes them and who hates them.
