Domaen

Domaen are one of the several offshoots of Pure Elves. Commonly known as House Elves, their once-proud warrior race was turned into slaves over a millennium ago, and they were bred like livestock to fill a number of functions in human civilization. Racism towards Domaen is extremely common, especially in nations like Galea.

History
Soon after Elves and Men went to war, each race began experimenting with captured individuals of the opposite race to create slave breeds that would serve them, as a show of dominance over the other. The end result for this on the side of men, roughly eighty years ater the war began, was the Domaen, a subservient race initially bred for heavy labour.

In time, a number of Domaen were rescued from or escaped their human captors, siding with their pure elven cousins in fighting against man. They became warriors of some renown, striking several blows against the human race. In time, however, the last elven holdings fell and many of their kind were once again captured and made into slaves; those that could flee created their own kingdom far to the west of what is now modern Galea.

As they were surrounded on all sides by human territories, the independent Domaen had to fight off attacks from all sdes; eventually their kingdom fell, and they fled, moving east and fighting wildly all the way. Their advance was halted near a nation at the time named Terran, and the entirety of the species was once more subjugated.

The domaen did not simply allow themselves to fade into servitude, however; before their complete assimilation under humanity's thrall they formed the Duin'ro Cach, an organisation of assassins that would assassinate key figures of humanity's governments and nobility in order to strike decisive blows against their enemies. The order survived as the Domaen were enslaved, arguably becoming even stronger as they were often granted easy access to high-priority targets.

Even so, Domaen have not had an easy time of their lives; racism towards them remains rampant, and even those few wo have obtained or kept their freedom are often targets for violence, especially in countries such as Galea and Fel.

Defining characteristics
Domaen are typically light of skin and fair of hair - though there are exceptions- but elsewise they have little in terms of specific characteristics. Domaen present every type of build and size possible, depending entirely on their breed and offspring. Domaen bred to serve as ledgerkeepers and the like are typically short, slim and unimposing, while those bred for heavy work or combat will more often than not be extremely tall and well-built (though often not very intelligent). Arguably the only other defining characteristic applies to their women, who are known for their prevalent curvaceousness and beauty.

Much like pure elves, Domaen do not have body hair.
