Aen Krew

The Aen Krew (meaning "People of the Blood", Blood Elves) are elves descended from a clan of ancient elves infected with the darkspawn taint during the First Blight, inhabiting the land of Vahl'Hallar, far to the north of Thedas. All members of the Aen Krew naturally carry the taint in their blood, although it is not as potent as that of darkspawn. They have their own culture and identity, believing themselves separate from their more common elven relatives. Their current regent is Gekydo.
