Fluff

>>2506
>Civilization Name: Dökkálfheim
>Color: Light Purple
>Civilization Race: Svartalfs (Dark Elves)
>Racial Bonuses:+/-[The Ancient Ones] As the eldest race, Elves have an extensive knowledge and repertoire of various myths stories, and legends preserved primarily thanks to oral tradition. This grants bonuses towards completing origin quests, identifying landmarks as well as artifacts, and uncovering ancient mysteries. However, being the eldest race brings with it a certain amount of disconnect from the other younger races. Elves possess harsh diplomacy penalties against humans, and moderate diplomacy penalties against dwarves.
+/-[Shadewalkers] Being molded in the divine clarity of Hela Half-Dead’s psyche has granted the Svartalfs significant harmony with the domains she rules over. Svartalfs possess an innate Attunement towards disease, death, and chaos magic and the undead, as well as other servants of the Half-Dead maiden, are more likely to be passive in their presence. However, this also grants the Svartalfs penalties towards spheres of life, among them being crops are more difficult to sow and rear, the living are more distrustful of Svartalfs, and population growth is more difficult to maintain.

>Civilization Fluff: The Dökkálfar insist that they are a separate kin from the Svartalfar. They speak a divergent dialect, practice a greater deal of oral works than their literate cousins, and have differences in art and architecture. Nonetheless, they are racially tied to the Svartalfar, whether or not they like it. They have embraced worship of Hel entirely, but also venerate her as a resurrecter, as evidenced by her ability to revive Baldr. In association with this resurrection, the Dökkálfar have delved deeper into necromancy - only on those not worthy of the eternal peace of Hel, of course. Of course.

>Leader Name: Sibis Lysoyne
>Leader Fluff: Sibis, heir of the Lysoyne (Bright-eyes) line of Dökkálfar, rules over his civilization with an omnipresent strength. He is an enigmatic figure - beautiful and hideous, stalwart and weak, young and ancient. He often travels his realm in disguise, to play tricks on his people to test them, or merely to spy on them. Powerful as he is unpredictable, the lord of the Dökkálfar is often called Skygge, as he is about as easy to pin down and hold as one's shadow.
