fighting against their infernal heritage or embracing the

darkness within.

protect humanity, the dwarves are now cursed by Illiir to nevergain entrance to the afterlife or the cycle of rebirth within the

to break the curse.

perfect servitor race for the Ssethregoran Empire, the Eloriieventually rose up in rebellion against their masters. Each

alliance with other nations.
