just needing some help with an elf gloom stalker backstory. I have an idea just wanna make sure it seems viable enough from a lore perspective:-
A small civilisation of high elves who patrol ancient peaks, darkened and twisted by several crossings to the Shadowfell.
These elves keep watch over this land which boarders the two planes, not only to defend their adopted kingdom but to keep guard over any potential threats that may spill forth from the shadow realm into the material plane.
These high elves have started adapting in way of life and culture to their darkened environment, with the majority of their number being counted among the Gloom Stalker ranger path. Dark garments and night themed tattoos are commonplace among these elves, befitting their environment.
We're not the ones to ask. Your DM is. They're the one who will know if this fits with the world lore of your specific campaign.
That said? Don't see an issue outside of whether or not the DM is kosher with a society of mountain-dwelling shadowhunter elves. Seems perfectly adequate as a backstory if the DM's willing to sign off.
