Almain

Three words define this race: Nobility, Honor and Bravery. In the battlefield, they are well trained warriors who abhor Chaos, imposing structure and ritual with every art of battle they are trained with.

Some of these brave warriors have moved to Faelands seeking freedom from the binding ties of politics and religion, hoping to make their own destiny away from their twisted homeland politics.

History
During the age of Middle Kingdoms, humans inhabited and socialized throughout eastern Alfaria. The locals however couldn’t carry the peace as gnolls had also build an establishment in the same patch. The gnolls under the strong leadership of Cynoc started to mesmerize the local humans who lacked a true leadership.

After years of struggle and a tyrannized period, humans did get a strong leadership in the form of a man named Balforth. He not only fortified the settlements against the merciless gnolls but also took the fight to them, eliminating their leader Cynoc.

After the independence, Balforth took over the Kingdom and was known as King Almere. The long struggle against the atrocity and injustice rendered people with great courage, bravery and strength. In the honor of the great King Almere, the locals adopted the name “Almain” to continue a proud heritage of their own.

Dokkalfar

They are Charismatic, Intelligent and Seductive. Apart from their alluring presence, they have mastered the art of magic and manipulation. They can enforce things with their magical skills and their sharp mind makes the prey helpless. They fight along with their cousins Ljosalfar against the massive armies of Fae.

History
After the chaos of Deep Gloam was averted, they came out of the underground taverns and headed south in search of more temperate lands. They found an ideal homeland to live in and named it as Eldirth. The Erathis there knew the art of Magic so the newly settled dwarves learnt the magic from them.

They enjoyed peace and prosperity (known as Alfaria) until humans (The Dureks) flooded the territory with blood of the Ljosalfar. Although the dwarves managed to take the fight back to the barabrians but the justicars insisted that the Dokkalfar should end this war.

Though the Dokkalfar loved the light elves (Ljosalfar), they realized that their philosophical differences were too pronounced to continue living side by side. The Dokkalfar knew they must leave Glen Suthain behind and seek their own destiny.
