Chapter 1

There is tradition passed down to each generation for just about every
society in Thera. The elves pass down their ageless looks and magical
mithril smithing. Dwarves pass down their forgecraft and bearded women,
where the latter results in passing down alcoholism to the males. Some find
it quite curious then to see the dark-elves pass down such traits as vision
in extremely low light but also a weakness to an alloy once prided eons
before until their wickedness sent the drow underground. Nearly all of the
races in Thera can handle mithril quite easily, even other subterranean races
like the gnome and svirfnebli. So what is it about the dark-elves that
harnesses this acquired weakness? Dark magic. By forging nearly all mithril
blades with positive energy, the elves have quite cleverly discovered a way
to oppose the negative energies imbued into the dark-elves. The dark-elves
always pride themselves on their ability to harness many forms of magic, such
as the elements, conjurations, rituals of the Pit Fiends, necromancy, and of
course; transfiguration.

The First House of the greatest Dark-Elf society, Teth Azeleth, holds many
seats for students well versed in the advanced forms of dark arts, with the
most accomplished taking a position next to the all mighty Matron Mother of
the First House. It is here in the First house, during a ceremony to find a
new handmaiden to serve the Matron Mother, where we meet young Xeneth.
