In the days of old wars, the Deraisim had lost their home and became wanderers, hiding in the woods, but adapting a nomadic style of life. Some families used to travel together, live for a short period of time before an area could no longer support them. They were hunted and were always outnumbered, so they retrated to the deeper woods. During this time they met several races and cultures, and developed a cautious trading with them at the time they built several trading post that served as temporal residence as well. When the wars reached some of those other races, the Deraisim retreated and tried to live by themselves on some of the trading post on a semipermanent way. Finally, they reunited with the Cenath, who had just lost their home and the majority of the Deraisim were covinced to adopt the sedentary live and the teachings of the Cenath, while hunting and providing food and protection for them. Thus, the major trading post became the city of Ab'dendriel. Part of the Deraisim were not convinced on settling down on a permanent area and decided to continue as nomads, giving birth to the Abdaisim caste. 
However the city of Ab'dendriel was still weak and had low defenses against attacks, while lots of nomads still visited the city, as the dwarves were aware of and registered in this book. Finally, time later, the pressure of the orcish hordes led the Kuridai caste to make contact and form and alliance with the Cenath/Deraisim, moving in to Ab'dendriel. This resulted in an increased security of the city and stability the elves had not seen in several hundreds of years.
The current leader of the Deraisim is Faluae; other known mambers are Irea, Brasith and Anerui.

== What People have to say about the Deraisim caste == 
They perceive themselves to be in tune with nature and are needed to help other castes. The Cenath see them as providers that need guidance while the Kuridai think they are useless, cowards or simply a waste of talent due to their passivity.
