Devkarin Elf

Devkarin are the dark elves of R avnica. They make up one of the two elite classes of the G olgari, the other elites being the teratogens . They are presided over by their matka, a high priestess, who until recently was Savra.

Physical Characteristics
Devkarin elves are much like many elf subraces in appearance, skin tones tend to be somewhat gray, owing to a combination of genetics and their time spent in the undercity of Ravnica. Most Devkarin have eyes of gray, brown, orange, or black, and heterochromia is not unheard of in some bloodlines. They tend to be somewhat tall, combared to other elves, reaching an average height of around 6 feet tall, with a slim, muscular build. They favor leather garments and armor, which combined with their dark hair allows them to blend into the shadows of the undercity. Many Devkarin elves wear their hair  in tight braids or dreadlocks, ornamented with metal rings or bones and feathers.

Psychology
The Devkarin, or dark elves, exist on a very different level than the rest of their kin. Native to the Undercity,  Devkarin elves thrive in areas of darkness and decay, drawing their power from rot and regrowth, the natural form of recycling. Devkarin are strange and frightening to the Silhana, and are actively shunned by most other races; this has not been lost on the Devkarin, who take the criticism of their ways in stride. They see themselves as grim pariahs, keepers of secrets too grand and too raw to be understood by those who have not lived among shadow and death.
