==History==
===The Alaran Corruption===
The Alaran Corruption came after the Harg invasion of the continent. The Harg invasion forces from a chain of islands of the continents coast managed to bypass the majority of the Alaran scout system when they came to plunder a town and cities along the coastline. As such the Alarans were alerted too late to be able to mobilize and intercede in the battle between the Harg and a city's defence force.
The battlefield where the confrontation had taken place was a mass of blood, carnage and death. The Harg had taken the elderly, the women and children from all the towns and villages they had passed during their invasion. Then during battle they had used them as living meat shields and executed those who survived the battle.
Having seen the depths these invaders were willing to plumb the Alarans came to a chilling conclusion. That they must make the consequences of what the Harg had done so horrific that no army would ever dare consider doing the same.
So the Alaran mages began research into a new devastatingly powerful magic. The new magic was to be fueled by the energy produced from negative emotion. Due to this property is was dubbed "Dark Magic". However in its early development it was discovered to be unstable and consumed the user as often as it did what the user wanted. The Alaran mages concluded that the only way to make the magic stable would be to bind it to the blood of the caster.
The first experiment to bind Dark Magic to the blood of a caster was also the last. The true power of the magic was not fully understood and instead of merely binding to the blood of the caster, it bound to the blood of all living Alarans.
When the Dark Magic bound to their blood suddenly and without warning it was too much for most to control, many of whom had never attempted to control magic before. Those who were unable to control the power were consumed by it and wiped out of existence. Very few amongst the population survived the initial shock, many more died whilst trying to master their new power. After the dust settled only around 5,000 Alarans remained alive, less than 1% of the population. Their civilization fell and they became and endangered species. The survivors ended up being spread across the continent after 'The Harg Reckoning'.

===Dark Magics===
Dark Magic is the type of magic unique to Alarans that is fueled by the energy produced by negative emotion. It was also the cause of The Alaran Corruption and the consequent fall of their civilisation. After the Dark Magic was bound to their blood Alarans became unable to use any other kind of magic.
