Races: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:45, 19 November 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 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.

-|text = Upon a first glance at the husks of the great city of [[Rie]], one would hardly think that only four hundred years ago, it was occupied by millions of Altalar. The original, as well as most populous subrace of Nelfin, the Altalar once ruled the Alorian stage as a great power with their magic might and their overzealous expansionism. They most frequently have blond hair, and are often seen with blue or green eyes. This is all accompanied by their incredibly angular faces with equally pointed ears. Most Altalar enjoy intellectual provocation, taking to scholarship, magical pursuit, and politics more than most other races, utilizing their intellectual superiority and longevity to become the ultimate mages. Altalar schools often double as temples devoted to the Elven Goddess known as Estel, a mysterious female figure thought to hold complete hegemony over all of Aloria. Rather than fighting or caring for nature, the Elves of the city enjoy a life of decadence, delving into personal pleasures rather than bettering the world around them.

+Once the dominant race on Aloria, the Altalar are perhaps the most diverse and flexible race still existing today, and for good reason. In times since passed, the Altalar lived under the Allorn Empire, the precursor to the Regalian Empire, practising all forms of magic, perfecting every craft available to them, and setting the standard for politics and court intrigue from then on, becoming quite possibly the most influential race in the modern day. Three hundred years ago, their Empire fell, owing to a combination of circumstance, internal conflict, and invading Orcs. Coupled with the catastrophic Wildering that made their marble citadels uninhabitable, the Altalar quickly fell from grace, leaving the stage open for Ailor to take, and for every other Nelfin subrace to manifest. Still, in spite of their fall from grace, Altalar maintain themselves as formidable warriors, supremely skilled craftsmen, and powerful mages, hoping to prove to the world that, although they once fell, they are perfectly willing to climb the ladder to world dominance once more, once the opportunity presents itself, and the fates align.
-Prior to the Cataclysm, the Elven Empire ruled as one of Aloria's highest organized powers. They enslaved many races, such as the Ailor, Varrans, and Slizzar. This Empire survived until the most recent [[Void Invasion]], where nearly most of the population would be wiped out. Following this, a subsequent Orc invasion cut the remaining population in half, hammering the final nail of death into the coffin known as the Elven Empire. Today, the Altalar of [[Regalia]] begrudgingly acknowledge the [[Ailor]] supremacy. They shun most other races, but out of convenience, they acknowledge the military might of the Regalian Empire. This doesn’t stop the Altalar from holding the belief that the Nelfin will rise again and retake the mantel of their fallen Empire. Until then, the Elves shall bide their time and wait, perfecting their arcane arts and expanding their knowledge of Aloria.
