Description:

Ten thousand years ago, there was an elite magic-using sect of Shadow Elves known as the Vid'arii, who dabbled in magics that many other elves considered heretical. They tapped into these magics by drawing upon the power of Chaos. The Vid'arii opened a number of portals that brought forth rips in the weave, and forged conduits for the flow of Chaos energy into the Prime Material. These portals triggered a series of events that lead to the banishment of the Vid'arii. The Vid'arii fled through their portals and were never seen on the prime Material again. As with everything that is touched with Chaos, the Vid'arii over time were mutated.

Cut off from the Prime Material Plane, they allied with the Chaos Lords. Flushed with their newfound ability to siphon mana from creatures of the Twisting Nether, the Vid'arii Have become a force of power for the Chaos Lords and a dangerous adversary.

Their outlandish ancestry is easy to pick out from their fur grown naturally long in places to their tails, and even the structure of their legs. however beyond what you see is often a mystery. .

They often dress in garish colours to offset their naturally solid colour bodies and since there is only one colour they come in (black). Their clothing is where their individuality really comes in play.

They are however industrious and will often and quickly adapt styles, and manners of wherever they find themselves.

Combat: While its well known that they are good at whatever fighting style they do they often fill roles as mercenaries or levies to other Chaos armies.

No two Vid'arii have been known to fight the same. they employ styles of races they have met, they are fighting with, and can pick out the weaknesses and exploit them in their enemies.

Just as often as they are seen fighting for others, they are also seen not fighting. They fight with a ruthlessness that is unheard of. However they will only fight when they want to and how they want to. Their loyalty in a battle never sways and their skill is often exceptional.

Habitat/Society: They are seen rarely and little is known about how they live.

Ecology: They seem to thrive on opportunity. Though they will do whatever strikes their fancy most often. They can live anywhere. They are often mercenaries, though they don't always work for money.
