In the shadowed realms of the Fallen Lineage, the malevolence of the dark elves knows no bounds, extending even to their adeptness at weaving alliances with other equally nefarious races across distant lands. When it comes to exploiting opportunities beyond the borders of their homeland, they spare no hesitation in forging alliances with any who would serve their purposes of plunder and pillage. They are masters of manipulation, leveraging their dark charisma to bend others to their will, regardless of race or creed.
To manifest their intentions and coordinate their movements, they rely upon their Edecanes (Aides), dark elf envoys specialized in transporting and communicating the orders of their generals to the far-flung units of their armies. These emissaries are not merely messengers; they are the conduits through which the will of the Fallen Lineage is made known, their very presence striking fear into the hearts of those who oppose them.
The role of an Edecan is not merely one of communication but also serves as a training ground for future officers of the Fallen Lineage’s armies. Here, they acquire the skills and contacts necessary to one day take command of their own troops, learning firsthand the cruelty and ruthlessness exhibited by their superiors in order to command respect and obedience.
Within this clandestine academy of manipulation and intrigue, the dark elves learn to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and warfare, honing their skills in the art of subterfuge and betrayal. They are taught to exploit every weakness, to capitalize on every opportunity, and to crush all who would dare to stand in their way.
For those who pass through its shadowed halls, the path to power is paved with deceit and treachery, and only the most cunning and ruthless will emerge victorious. It is a world where morality holds no sway, where loyalty is a fleeting concept, and where only the strong survive to claim their rightful place among the rulers of the Fallen Lineage.
