Svartalfar

More information about this subject might be available on StarfinderWiki. |
Svartalfars are a species of cruel fey exiled from the First World to the Netherworld for grave, unspeakable crimes who work as hired assassins for those who can pay.1
Appearance
A svartalfar resembles an expressionless, bald, gray-skinned elf.2
Society
Svartalfars are cold, calculating, tenacious professional killers who rely on shadow magic to do their job. They feel no pity, empathy, or friendship; they do nothing without a practical reason, and once contracted to kill, cannot be swayed from this duty.2
Svartalfars live in clans and accept payment in secrets, which they add to their huge underground libraries in the Netherworld.1 If one svartalfar fails at a task, another clan takes the contract, resulting in a loss of honor for the failed svartalfar's clan.2
They are extremely interested about their ancestral home, and are rumoured to search for a way to return and take revenge upon those responsible for their exile.1
