    We'll go with "Sunless Elf" - if you just want to keep on the term of dark that just means, dark; lacking light.

    If you want to have more of an evil meaning, then perhaps "Nefarious Elf".

    Or perhaps all use of dark/black/brown or any mix thereof will just be replaced with "redacted"

    >look at Bobless
    You see Bobless.
    He appears to be a Redacted Elf.
    He is tall. He appears to be decrepit with age. He has gold-flecked crystal green eyes and redacted redacted skin. He has chin length, silky platinum hair with a redacted streak running through it. He has sharply-curved pointed ears.

    I always liked the high elf name better when I played one (back in the 90s). However, it would be a loss to the game for the interesting stuff the players have made for DEs, not to mention all the countless personal back stories. If I was more into WOT than MBOTF, I'd have probably already made a palestra hopeful.

    Your use of the word "sharp" triggers me.

    Thadston says, "Stand down Baron, and your men. Or I swear to Koar, Liabo, Lornon, Cruxophim, I will release your daughter and watch her die right here."
    Stormyrain evenly asks, "Did you just make Cruxophim a god?"

    But it's naive to think that this place doesn't have a self-selecting biased, based upon the general content, that encourages certain ways of thinking and a predominant mindset.
    Sorry that we’re not fragile enough for you I guess?
