DELFAE HISTORY:
The Delfae
were once a race of light-coloured beings, moving about happily
on the surface in tribes and family groups. Somewhat barbaric, they
came against a great enemy that split the families apart, though
they know not what that enemy was.
Soon
after, a seer was born to the delfae, and thus was discovered the
first magic talent. The seer predicted the return of the enemy,
and for a long time the delfae waited and grew in their power, discovering
other magic talents and building their defenses. But the attack
they expected was not the attack they received...the sun they worshipped
so fiercely was turned against them, blistering their skin and blinding
their sight.
Another
special delfae was born...one destined to become their leader. This
was the Winged Delfae, and she led the delfae into caves deep in
the earth. Two groups did not follow, however...one a barbaric group
and the other a spirtual one. The spiritual ones would reencounter
them later, but the barbaric one was never found.
The delfae
built a home for themselves in the rock, sneaking out at night for
items from the surface. They had no contact with others until their
lost kin rejoined them, claiming there were others on the surface
more like delfae than like animals, who had minds and were also
under attack by a fierce enemy.
The Delfae
split into two groups...the lost ones, who would remain behind,
and the ones who would support the surface-people. The delfae built
a long tunnel, and then sealed it behind them, sealing the two groups
apart. The Winged one stayed behind; the Regent claims a mystical
connection to the Winged one and rules the ones who left to support
the surface.
The fighters
could not bear the sun, but did their best to help from afar. After
the enemy was gone, the delfae encountered dwarves for the first
time, and they officially allied with each other, leading to the
culture that exists in Korgarr today.

VARIATIONS:
There
are three known variations of the Delfae; the barbarians; those
who did not help the surface races; and those who broke off and
did. All Delfae PCs are of this last variety; there is little known
and even less contact with the other two tribes of delfae.
