Alami

The Alami are a beast like bipedal race that reside on the mountain of Falaj. Like the dragons, their lifeforce was linked to the alchemy stone and thus were seen as protectors of the mountain. After the sealing of alchemy. Most of the Alami tribe perished. The few that remain today do so because of small fragments and shards cut from the original alchemy stone that they have in their possession. They were renowned blacksmiths however their furnaces have long since gone cold. What few weapons remain are considered priceless and are even said some were infused with the power to harness alchemy. 
It is said that they once rode on the back of dragons coining the term dragoon and in some rare cases were able to form special pacts with the beasts of legend becoming what was known as bloodriders.
Sagad, Tihan, Nanook, Nuada and Fiachra are some Alami warriors.
