Several fantasy settings present dark elves as a racist offshoot of elves that are looking to purify the world.
Normally, they're depicted as a branch off of preexisting elfdom.
But what if they're the original lineage? The high elves and wood elves being debased and unpure splits from the pure, master, elf race? What if it's not just dark elf marketing?
I think it'd be funny if elves started as the creation of one of the evil gods and the non-dark races of elves started as heretical branches who rejected the evil god and started fighting for good!
It might explain why the dwarves don't trust them. They just know that those damn elfs will be reverting to their evil god worshiping ways and century now... Just you watch, any millennia now... We're ready, why aren't you?
