The contamination from the continent colored their skin an alien blue and their hair silvery white. To this day, the Drowdar elves predominantly live their lives in citadels on the faraway continent, battling off the torrent of demonic armies and the Kathar elves that roamed the land. While very few are seen to leave Drowda, those that do were either exiled or left by choice. They are treated with suspicion from the rest of the world. [[Regalia]]ns typically grow uncomfortable around dark elves, and they’ll most often be treated as if they were unpossessed [[Kathar]], despite the Drowdars’ deep hatred for their grey-skinned cousins. Certainly being exposed to so much void contamination had its drawbacks. Anything from the Forbidden Continent couldn’t be good news. Yet the Drowdar knew that their minds were clear and their cause was pure. They would be the saviors of Aloria. | ||

|text = | |text = The Kathar, or Dread Empire Elves, are the westernmost Nelfin species that occupy the Shadow Isles, the Kathar Steppes, the landmass of Saivale, and the Wolond Walds that make up the Dread Empire. The Kathar are seen by many other races as a force of true evil, and their Empire is at war with nearly every other state in the world as a result, constantly butting heads with the other Elven States, the Orcish Tribes and the Regalian Empire.. The Kathar themselves, often also referred to as Shadow Elves, are a fair but gray and pale skinned race of Elves with peculiar physical characteristics that set them apart from the other Nelfin species. Furthermore, they have vastly differing cultures and societies that make them seem otherworldly in comparison to other Elves. From inside their walled Khalor cities, the Kathar keep the old Elven Empire alive in a far more depraved and vile state, corrupted fully by the Void Essences they sought to bring into the world. To say they worship the Archdemon and serve him as leal followers would be wrong, however. Through the centuries, the Kathar have managed to master the Void Essences that once controlled them to turn the tables and harness their unlimited energies to wage war on the world both in body and in mind. | ||

From the extensive forests to the rising cities reborn from the destruction of the [[Elven Empire]], the Yanar can be seen about [[Daendroc]] and other great holdings of nature, tending to their groves and gardens as their lady [[Estel]] has instructed them. Well known for their plant-like appearance, these humanoids grow flowers, bark, fungus and fruit seemingly out of (or in place of) their flesh. Yanar are elegant and pure in their youth, but withered and decomposing in their older ages, towards sixty years. Their hair and eye colors reflect the norm of the [[Elves]]; that of golden, green, blue and brown eyes, to match brunette, black, and blonde hairs (if they have hair). As mentioned before, the Yanar all bear some resemblance to a plant, whether it be fruit or vegetation. These flowery folk were born when Estel saw the need to warn the Altalar within the Elven Empire of the most recent [[Void Invasion]]. But the Altalar had strayed too far from nature, and they could not understand the Yanar.

But the Altalar had strayed too far from nature, and they could not understand the Yanar. When the [[Kathar]] did come, they were able to infect the plant-like people with a mildew substance, slowly deteriorating the physical and mental states of the host until he or she turned into a dark entity of [[Behaesal]]: A corrupted Yanar. Following this, the Yanar began slowly being incorporated into Elven society, splitting with the Yanar at the Elven civil war. Now, they are renowned for their healing abilities using their general knowledge of the plantlife of Aloria, serving Regalia in that aspect and being treated with according respect. | ||

Revision as of 21:16, 13 May 2018
Aloria is brimming with a plethora of races scattered all about the lands and seas alike. Alorian races are all incredibly diverse and individually unique, spanning from the prosperous Humans and their excellent ability to expand, the Maiar that rise to the surface or dwell deep beneath the water, and the Mekett, whose strong culture has only recently surfaced from the deepest pits underground. What makes a race different from any other beast is primarily its sentience; a race has the ability to think, communicate, and is able to be aware of itself, while a beast cannot always do that. Races are playable on MassiveCraft while beasts are typically not, and when referenced, race names are capitalized and beast names are left lowercase. For example, a troll is a beast, while an Orc is a race.
