State of the Nations 2: The Arak
The Arak: The First. The words are synonymous¸ and the people carry with them the pride of being just that. Throughout all the generations and all the changes in Diomin¸ the Arak have remained true to the one. They have cast out those who have strayed¸ and ostracized those who have lowered themselves to breeding with the T'endrak. Someday the one will judge all¸ and the diligence and purity of the First People will be rewarded. Devotion to the one. There is no other way.
The Gnolaum: Born of the Arak Dolphin and Turtle clans¸ the Gnolaum have set themselves apart from their barbaric fathers. Disowned by Dragon¸ they have grown away and apart from their heritage. Their journey has brought to them nobility¸ grace¸ and strength¸ and it is unmatched in all others on Diomin. To gaze on the face of any Gnolaum is to see the face of the entire nation. one would never know that when gazing that it is a face that hides ignominy so deep that it can bring the entire nation to its knees.
Two Great Races: one has remained close to their roots in nature¸ while the other has traversed the circle of progress from hunting to the height of technology and back again. And so it is that these two ends of the spectrum come full circle¸ each revering nature¸ their gods¸ and their ways of life.but can they find a common ground? or is another war between neighbors on its way?
