Dark elves
I'm not completely up on my Middle Earth lore. Its been a few years and I don't have the time to look every little detail up.
Can someone give me a short lowdown on the Dark Elves of Middle Earth? I know they're not the "Drow" of D&D. But I'm considering using them as shock troops of the new Enemy, Orcs and such just don't cut it do they.
Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Fell deed awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shields be splintered,
a sword-day, a red-day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
