HISTORY

When the gods of Otherworld first claimed the land, a pre-divine race emerged from the fractured earth and stone. Known as the Dourclad, these beings were born of shadow, old stone and the pain of the land. They fought Avalorr’s gods during the construction of the Celestial City and eventually retreated into caves, mountains and wilderness. More recently, they raided the village of Domhan and were confronted by Dara, Heidi, Dignir and Edea.

POWERS/ABILITIES

The stocky Dourclad are deceptively strong and highly resistant to damage. They see in darkness, move slowly through earth and stone, sense buried metals and blood, and can corrupt holy ground. Their whispers plant doubts, fear and confusion in the minds of others. They often win through cunning and patience rather than brute strength.
