The Ekeli are almost as old as the Alari. They are not immortal as the Alari are but still live for centuries. To the other cultures, they are mysterious people, dwelling apart in the Hollow Hills, deadly hunters who make mysterious bargains. But as an Ekeli, you have gone out into the world to find something outside your original home. Your magic is effective; your skills at hunting monsters, the tainted, even desecrators, perhaps even more so.
In the First Age, the Alari and Ekeli fought devastating wars between the opposing philosophies
represented by the gods of Sky and Earth, who also fought. But now, they regard each other as cousins,
having more in common with each other than with the folk of the younger cultures. Both have drifted
away from worshiping the old Earth and Sky gods; instead, they focus any religious attention on the
original creator.
