Dules

Inhabiting the region of Dulien on the western edge of the Wilderlands, the Dules descended from a group of elves who, thinking their mother-goddess had abandoned them in their hour of need, turned in desperation to the god an ancient, buried temple, hoping to be saved from an invasion by the Wilders. They were answered by an ancient, Orcish war god, long since forgotten by his former worshippers. In exchange for swearing allegiance to this god, the elves were transformed, becoming far taller than any other elven peoples, and suddenly possessing thickly muscled bodies that would allow them to surpass even Orcs in raw strengh. This in combination with the elves' naturally heightened senses turned them into some of the most fearsome warriors the continent has ever seen.

In the modern day, the Dulish elves live as nomadic tribes that ride upon a breed of massive, aggressive horses with a taste for flesh, waging war against each other in an eternal bid for dominance over the Dulish plains. Despite their inter-tribal conflict however, they are quick to put their differences aside to strike against foreign invasions which often come from the east.

In terms of magic and technology, they are among the more primitive peoples of the region, and their ability to work metal is severely limited, but they frequently trade with the elves to the north for weapons made of metal, often in the form of swords, spears or arrowheads- which are highly prized among their kin- in exchange for furs, meats or tribal artifacts.
