{{flavour|The Deep Elves are a species of Elves who long ago fled the overworld to live in darkness underground. There, they developed their mental powers, evolving a natural gift for all forms of magic, and adapted physically to their new environment, becoming weaker and losing all colouration. They are poor at melee combat and physical defense, although they are capable at using bows in ranged combat.}}<br />

{{Easy}}<br />
<br />
Deep Elves are archetypical "mage" characters - great at all types of magic, but frail. Not complicated, but still moderately difficult to play. Being fragile isn't great in a permadeath game, since this can turn bad situations into perilous ones. So while their magic aptitude is strong in its own right, a prospective Deep Elf should remain vigilant.<br />
<br />
They also have a great [[Ranged Weapons]] aptitude, the best in the game (tied with [[Kobold]]), which allows them to be decent [[Hunter]]s or [[Hexslinger]]s.<br />
