Dormarling Species in The Four Realms of Infinitum | World Anvil

Dormarling

Dormarlings bear the god's curse of the binding of the void, which their harsh and depressed lives represents, they age and evolve as the sand rises and falls, long and still falling, prickling and simply walling. While the Gods are immortal, in the sense that they are not susceptible to aging and disease.   However, this meant that Dormarlings were bound to Godly Realms, as their Elves or Dragon counterparts were. The fate foretold by the Old-Gods was one of misfortune and gold, death and destruction. Sanguis declared that, after the creation of their curse, that the Dormarlings would simply be making the best of what their curse has bestowed among them, Just setting down and seeing the good in the bad, using their curse as it is a gift for them.   Loarkam foretold that the Race of Dormarlings, being sad and insufferable, would often seek and try to relish in their curse. However, She also noted that "The Curse can corrupt not just them, also but others. Should a child be born, the curse may cause the creature created to be tainted by an even bigger curse, that could cause a cataclysm in any of the given worlds."
