Ylthuiir

When demonic entities first came into the world, the Druid eldress Ylthuiir sought not to combat their evil, but to embrace it or harness it for her own gain and that of her clan. This lead to infighting amongst the Druids as the grand elder Ferinar could not stand for such treachery. In the end, Ylthuiir and her followers were forced into hiding, no longer welcome within the wilds of Minthyra. She and her people would harbor a great hate for the kin that forsook them. They continued to embrace the chaos from whence the demons came, hoping to harness its raw potential. Eventually Ylthuiir and her people would become tainted by the powers they sought and they became creatures of evil and malice -- the dark elves.
