The Alari are gentle to their friends but fierce to their enemies. They are currently allied with the Vilmari, and the two elven races trade with each other on a regular basis. Along either side of their neck is a set of three gill slits, allowing them to breath normally under water. Despite popular rumor, it is possible for the Alari to exist out of water for extended periods of time. They do prefer to bathe at least once per day, however, one bath a week will suffice to keep their skin healthy.
Alari hair ranges from black to gold, with several shades of green in between.
The Alari are fond of gems and jewelry created above the waves. Because of this, the Alari trade a lot with the friendly air-breathing nations around the Sea of Vilmar. They commonly trade pearls, fish, and exotic sea plants and herbs with their land-dwelling brethren. The Banestri Collectively known by all other sentient races as the Dark Elves, the Banestri are the evil seed of all of their kindred. Long ago, the Banestri were overcome by the promises of the Dark One, Bane.
