The Druchii are the Dark Elves of Naggaroth: exiles, betrayers, and the truest heirs of elven supremacy. Cast out of Ulthuan for the crime of wanting to rule it, they built a kingdom of black stone and colder hearts. Their cities float on Black Arks crewed by screaming slaves, their witches bathe in blood to stay young, and their armies march under banners of flayed skin. Hatred is their birthright, cruelty their art, and betrayal their only honest emotion.
Overview
If you want to play a beautiful monster who smiles while sliding the knife between ribs, who sees the world as cattle and themselves as the only true predators, welcome to Naggaroth.
Appearance
Pale as moonlight on bone, hair black as betrayal or white as widow’s tears. Eyes that drink light (crimson, violet, or coldest black). Armour of sea-dragon hide and black steel, cut to kill and to seduce. Every inch is designed to terrify or tempt, usually both.
Culture & Society
- Regions: Naggaroth and wherever their Black Arks cast a shadow.
- Culture: Power is the only truth. Everything else is weakness to be punished.
- Names: Malekith, Morathi, Hellebron, Malus Darkblade, Tullaris, Kouran, Lokhir.
- Religion: Khaine is the bloody-handed lord of murder; Slaanesh whispers in the dark.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Strengths: Deadliest infantry alive, monstrous cavalry, dark magic that burns souls, zero mercy.
- Weaknesses: They hate each other almost as much as they hate you.
Playing a Druchii
Speak softly, smile often, kill quickly. Trust no one, especially not family. A noble plots six betrayals before breakfast. A sorceress trades years of life for one more spell and laughs while her youth drips into the cauldron. A corsair sails under false colours and changes flags the moment the wind shifts.
Everything is a weapon: beauty, terror, love, pain. Mercy is the only sin.
Physical Appearance
Elven grace sharpened to a razor. Pale skin stretched over perfect bones, lips painted with poison, armour that looks poured on. They move like panthers and smile like death warming its hands.
Notable Ranks & Careers
