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The Dark Elves, or Dokkar, have always been withdrawn.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 Krinleaf are ruled by the Dominator. The Dominator is the supreme leader of the Dokkar people. His people view him as a living god. The Dominator has ruled the Krinleaf 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. He appoints Ministers from the noble class. These ministers do the day to day running of the state.
Religion
The people of Krinleaf worship the Dominator as God-King of the Dokkar people, rather than the tradional 'gods'. This was not intentional on the part of the Dominator, but he has used it to full effect. As the savior of the Dokkar people, the Dominator has long been respected. Not only did he found the nation and defend it from all attacks, he is the single oldest Dokkar in living memory, well past the age lesser dokkar reach, and still yotuhful in appearance. He is also the most powerful sorcerer in the kingdom of Krinleaf. This powerful combination led a radical minority to think of the Dominator as a god sent from heaven to save them. This faction gained popularity among the people after the Necromantic war, and the ministry, sensing a way to solidify their power with the people, made it the offical 'religon'. While not a religion in the traditional sense, as people do not pray to the Dominator, commoners feel that he is infalible, and practically worship him. The ministers and nobles are not so faithful, but they do honor and respect their leader, and very few would replace him given the chance.
