The dark elf creation myth in EverQuest is based on the lore of Innoruuk, the god of hate, who kidnapped and corrupted the first elven king and queen and turned them into his dark children1. The dark elves, or Teir’Dal, are one of the oldest and most evil races on Norrath

Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with your query. According to the EverQuest Wiki1, the dark elves are one of the three known ancient elf races, one of the oldest on Norrath. They are known by the elf word, Teir’Dal, a word meaning “elf of the abyss”. They have existed for ages in the dark underworlds of Norrath, and are the children of Innoruuk, the Lord of Hate.

It is said that Innoruuk, as part of his retribution against the gods that did not invite him to create a race on Norrath as part of their pact against Veeshan, kidnapped the leaders of Tunare’s creations, the first elven king and queen, and tortured them over the span of 3000 years, tearing them apart and rebuilding them in his own twisted image1. Whatever their true origins may be, there is no doubt that the dark elves have embraced Hate as a guiding force in their lives. Hate, when disciplined, can make one strong and focused. When inspired in others, it can be a means to corrupt and control them. The practice of necromancy (magical power over death and the dead), which the Teir’Dal see as Innoruuk’s gift to their race, is very much at the core of their culture1.

The dark elves’ racial city is Neriak, a city split into four zones (three of which are the actual city). The Foreign Quarter, the first place you go into when you enter Neriak, provides a soulbinder and a bunch of vendors, making it a good place to rest during downtime. The Commons and Third Gate are more reserved for training/buying spells. The city looks nice and there’s some shortcuts to pass through the small corridors and alleys of Neriak2.

The dark elves are a versatile evil-only race in EverQuest, with access to all the caster classes and their clerics have some of the highest starting wisdom. They also have racial traits such as Ultravision and Hide that can be useful in various situations2.

I hope this information was helpful to you.��

aren't dark elves a cross between high elves and orcs?

or is that a different game's lore
This is highly offensive and you should make a public apology to all dark elves for ever suggesting they have orc blood.

Inny is like the catholics in that they are always trying to resurrect jesus (lanys) and all the other religions are inferior and should be purged from Norrath.

And their daddy taught them the sekrets to divinity (aka necromancey and life extension) i think catholics are real big on helping ppl with hospitals and stuff so def necromancers.

Now don't get me wrong i'm not saying catholicism bad. I think I may convert one day in another life.

St. Anything is likely a Catholic hospital. God bless your good works.

i'm not really butt i'm playing lots of eq so that is ok ))))

lanys was the child of innuruuk sent to come kick butt in the name of innoruuk she's a hottie ! with a bad attitude! (i think she is actchualy pretty progrezzive for a dork elf tho!)

and the reason kithicor is the way it is

also i think innoruuk did it cuz of the wisp bro from tunares realm who impregnated firiona vies mommy
