Creatures born of the holy powers are slowly corrupted by the powers of the evil and cursed. As a result, their skin and the element of their divine power also turned dark.
That was the profound significance of a dark elf's representation in the holy scriptures.
Any dark elf that was not under other protection was often killed or made into a holy sacrifice.
As a result, it caused a sudden decline in the dark elf population, and the only dark elves you could see these days were the ones under someone else's employment.
The holy scriptures in the temple were not as holy as they seemed. Many had been written or modified by human hands to serve their interests, leading to the inclusion of strange clauses.
One such clause stated that any creature under another's control could not be harmed by anyone but their master. This was a loophole that some, like Layla, could exploit for survival.
