Chaos Elves

Chaos elves, or keldari, are the second subrace of elvenkind. They differ greatly from high elves. They possess red skin, stand about a foot taller, and possess far more bulk than their lithe cousins. Their faces had also become softer and more uniform than their brethren. Some chaos elves had become so ingrained to nether energies that they began to grow bone-like protrusions from their torso and hands.

History
When the Black Order invaded the elves homeworld, many of them had succumb to a magical plague that consumed their bodies from inside out. Most of the race had become too weak to properly resist the demonic invasion. A few thousand elves managed to retreat into the forests and wage a guerrilla war against the Order, but this did not last either. Kalgrethod infected the rebels' food and water sources with his demonic ichor. When the elves drank from these corrupted sources, they grew addicted to the pit fiend's blood. The keldari were born.

Since their induction into the Order, the keldari have spread to many worlds. They share many similarities to the pitguards, in that they still cling to mortal traditions. They still raise families and form into clans. Many chaos elves have grown close to pitguards, seeing them as distant kin. The two races often fight together and against one another, pursuing vengeance bonds and blood rivalries. Pitfiends have grown mistrustful of the two races bond, and many have began to sabotage their relations. If the pitguards and chaos elves were to discover this treachery, it could spell civil war for the Black Order. And the Burning Pantheon wouldn't be able to stop it.

Description
Chaos elves stand between 8 and 9 feet tall, and weigh in roughly 350-400 pounds. They are almost all pure muscle and are deceptively quick for their size. While not as cunning as an erenar, they do possess magical affinity that rivals the Sutir. Their skin colors are typically red, orange, and rarely green. They, like high elves, tend to grow out their hair to long lengths, which is usually obsidian in color. Unlike their high elven cousins, the males possess the ability to grow facial hair, which comes out as dark as their hair. Those who choose to grow their facial hair do so to incredible lengths, often rivaling dwarves.

Combat
Chaos elves make use of bows, axes, and longswords. They tend to strike hard & fast in shock and awe tactics. They adorn metal armors to protect vital areas, but otherwise prefer to wear demonic animal leathers.
