History
The Dark Elves, or Dokkar, have always been withdrawn. They started as a group of alfar who wanted nothing to do with the nearly global empire that their bretheren created. They fled far away, to an unground realm where they would be secure and named it Darkenhome. They rarely if ever have anything to do with the outside world after this. This lack of interest in the outside world caused many others to view the Dokkar as a mere fairy tale. The necromancers knew they were more than myth however, and ruthlessly attacked their holdings during the war. The Dokkar had no choice but to fight, and take a more active role in the world after the war, since their existence was revealed to the other races when they fought the Necromancers.
Politics
The people of Xel'da'kor are ruled by the Dominator. The Dominator is the supreme leader of the Dokkar people. He, in theory at least, has absolute and total power. In reality though, he is ballanced by the Council of State. While technically their superior, he cannot ignore their advice or 'sugestions', as they hold much power. The council, on the other hand, cannot overthrow the Dominator, as the people view him as a living god. The Dominator has ruled the Xel'da'kor people since they broke off from their Alfar bretheren, and he shows no signs of dying anytime soon. He has lived an unaturally long life, even for a Dokkar. The council members on the other hand, do die, and when they do, and election is held. Everyone can run, although they must be qualified for the position to do so. Because of this, several commoners are always on the council.
