Clash-of-clans – What happens if I don’t have enough space for the remaining resources from the season pass

The Dark Elixir storage is where Dark elixir is stored and is similar to Elixir and Gold storage buildings. Dark Elixir is used to train Dark Elixir Troops through the Dark Barracks, as well as buy and upgrade Heroes.

Dark Elixir Troops are extremely expensive to train (because of the rarity of Dark Elixir), but are also generally more powerful than normal troops. Dark Elixir troops reside in the Army Camp, similar to normal troops e.g. Barbarian, archer etc.

Heroes are super powerful troops that do a lot of damage. They are immortal, but if injured in battle must sleep to regenerate their health. There are two heroes, the Barbarian King and the Archer Queen.

You can acquire Dark Elixir from raiding, or with the Dark Elixir Drill which is first unlocked at town hall 7 and a second one at town hall 8.

As of the Dark Spell Factory Update (1/7/15), Dark Elixir can also be spent on Dark Spells which are simpler spells which although are more specialized, are more powerful (compared power-per-storage-space to their elixir counterparts) and take up less space.

Loot won in a Clan War is automatically stored in the Clan Castle at the end of every war. This includes Dark Elixir. War loot cannot be spent until it has been collected, and if you collect the loot without a Dark Elixir Storage you will lose it.

The Dark Elixir will stay in your Clan Castle until you collect it, or until its raided. I recommend you read this page from the wiki which gives you more detailed information on Clan Castles.

The miniature gold, elixir and dark elixir storages on top of the clan castle represent where the war loot is stored after a war has ended. You can see these in the following picture of a level 2 Clan Castle:
