	'''Dark Elf (Legacy)''' was an evil race of Dominion. They were one of the three wizard-races (the other two being Sylvan and Icekin). Most players considered Dark Elves as one of the more challenging races because it required you to run high Wizard Guilds, which is known to be one of the most useless buildings in the game. They also lacked the turtle-ability which ~~makes~~ it very demanding in both strategic knowledge and activity. They made decent explorers, especially if you were aiming high in the blackop rankings and also made good attackers, assuming that you knew how to play them.
