The Nightshard clan is one of the three major clans of the Dark Elves, the other two being the Soulscar clan and the Shadowbrand clan. Members of the Nightshard clan are passionate about emotions like sadness or happiness. They are the least aggressive of all the Dark Elves, and far more interested in trade and neutrality than the other clans. The clan is led by Menan, who became Lord of the Clans after the War under the Mountains.
