Elves, Jekka Dusk (3.5e Race)

Elves, Dusk (Jekkan)

The origins of the Dusk Elves can be traced back to the Wood elves who lived in the Grove of the Premordial Night. It is unclear why the Grove is enshrouded from the light of dawn, nor why the Elves entered the Grove in the first place, they most certainly underwent fascinating changes. From their hair to their skin and even their physique, they emerged from the Grove as an entirely separate people from their Woodland cousins.
