Drow

Drow is the official name for modern Dark Elves. Drows are of more human-like heights than their other Elven counterparts. They are only distinguished as an elf, by their sharper looking ears and variety of skin colors.

History
Dark Elves began history as the dominant type of elf. However, from the time of the Underkingdom's collapse to the modern era, they have greatly diminished in number and because of the living conditions and social interactions with the upper world have come to evolve into more human-like elves. Though technically modern elves are a different evolution path from the Drow, it is hypothesized by historians that the Dwarves and original Dark Elves shared common ancestry. In the 5th Swell, the Drows are heavily persecuted and struggle to survive in society. The lucky few who are able to join government organizations and rise in ranks usually have less authority than their similar ranked peers.
