Review – Player Races: the Dark Elf

Beneath the earth, the Dark Elves plot revenge against the surface.  A classic fantasy role-playing race (done as a lovely homage to their first AD&D appearances) for Savage Worlds.  If the classic evil elves have a place in the underworld of your Savage World campaign, take a look.
