In the long past of the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] world, the Dark Elves were once just [[elves]].  Then, heir-apparent [[Malekith]] found himself passed over when it came time to choose the Phoenix King, and he started a civil war.  When he <s>lost</s> got bored, he and his followers (called the ''druchii'' in their language) <s>were exiled</s> left across the ocean.

Presently, the Dark Elves inhabit and dominate Naggaroth, the Warhammer World's analogue to North America; this might tell you something on how GW views the Colonies. Their population is concentrated in six major cities, including the capital city of Naggarond, but they also inhabit massive city-ships known as Black Arks, kept afloat by the magic of the Witch-King. Where the arks go reaving, things burn, slaves are taken, and fat lewt is piled high and sent back to Tortureonto (Karond Kar) or Evil Fredericton (Har Ganeth) or Hellifax (Clar Karond) or whatever. Don't mess  with the corsairs. Unless you're a Norscan or a Hung, in which case, shine on you crazy Chaos Viking/Hun!

Then we have the shades, a bunch of hosers that live in the wilderness full of beasts that Chaos dragons think twice before messing with.

The Dark Elves are also the biggest jerks  in the universe- ''The [[War of the Beard]]? Oh, we raided the dwarven caravans that started it all! *Mad cackle* [[JUST AS PLANNED]]!''. 

Coincidentally, this also leads up to Nagash's rise to power with his Necromancy since the trio of dark elves that were ordered to start the war ended up in Khemri, warhammer Africa, where they were shipwrecked when trying to escape. They were later found and captured by Khemri guards, then tortured by Nagash for information about magic and other high quality stuff to become powerful and evil. So yeah, [[Vampire Counts]] nor [[Tomb Kings]] would never exist if it weren't for the Dark Elves and [[The End Times]] would never happened. [[Not as planned]] for the Dark Elves.

Males are forbidden to use magic since Malekith's mum [[Morathi]] said that he would one day be killed by one. Not like anyone cares, but it's probably a plot by her to take the throne.

Among their traits are that their nobles ride exothermic carnivorous reptiles into battle. This is weird since their homeland is quite chilly, so you would think that they would be sluggish and inefficient mounts (hence why they have the rule 'Stupidity').
