Long ago the Dark Elf tribes joined their Elf bodies with Phantasms and developed a second heart. A Dark Elf can survive losing a heart, but they must choose to give up their corporeal form or their mastery of magic. Breaking tradition, the Dark Elf hero left her people to join in the adventures of other warriors and see the world. Periodically she must return to her spectral homelands to drink from the Font of Phantasms to replenish the magical might of her phantasmal heart.
The Variant features a less clothed version of our Generic character and includes alternate artwork by Lokman Lam. In some cases, this version was actually created before the original.
The Dark Elf continues the result of a collaboration between Adam & Lokman, exploring some well established tropes in fantasy art. Originally intended as a small line of Generic Hero Classes, the results were so compelling and un-generic, each hero's appearance told so many exciting stories that we wanted to integrate them into the KD world but so far nothing concrete has emerged.
