Are there any new races?
Having come through almost one thousand years since the end of Darkfall and the beginnings of the Unholy wars many of the races are 'new' to some degree or extent. Some of course, more than others.
The Mahirim, for example, definitely sport a more 'evolved' look these days, while still maintaining their bestial heritage. The Alfar also, having suddenly been freed of Melek's twisting influence, have begun to walk taller and more self assured!
The Tovarr however, are a completely new addition, albeit at the cost of their ancestors, the Dwarves. During a time when Agon was literally covered in war between Celestial hosts, demon armies and mortals alike, an immense host of Dwarves emerged from beneath the mountains. Thousands died as they marched ceaselessly to the heart of the Goddess and Demons battle. Then, with absolutely no warning, a vast techno-magical device was revealed and erupted into an explosion of pure and deadly light. The war suddenly came to a shocking, abrupt standstill. The Demon Lords and the Goddess withdrew to regroup, the mortals, stunned by this supreme sacrifice put down their arms and banded together (at threat of pain from the Orks). But the Dwarven nation was decimated, the Humans of Mercia rallied to their mountain to lend aid to what few Dwarves remained. Over the centuries and generations of inter-marriage between Man and Dwarf emerged the proud Tovarr. Bearing the noble and stoic pride of their Dwarven forbears with the passionate adaptability of their human benefactors, Tovarr means, in old Dwarvish, Man Under the Mountain.
