Culture[]
Religion[]
Darkskins follow the path of voodoo, and they believe to karma (or what they call: loha).
Arts[]
Goblins have brought with themselves shamanistic arts of voodoo. Now Darkskins are even better shamans than Trolls are. They honor the spirits of the nature (who they call Nashi) and the spirits of their ancestors, and they turn to these spirits for wisdom and guidance.
Darkskins are great jewelcrafters, too. They design their bracelets, necklaces and other trinkets out of amber, agate, wood and bones which are commonly found in the islands of Far Far East.
Darkskins have also tamed many various animals: hens, parrots, crocolisks and bees. They use hens in order to get eggs and meat, crocolisks - for use in battles, bees - in order to get honey.
Affiliation[]
Darkskins are neutral against both major factions of Axarond - the Guardians and the Force. However they are befriended with Humans and Goblins. Darkskins now have to make hard choice, choosing between Force and Guardians. Darkskins know Goblins for several centuries already, and both races are great trading partners. Only negative charachteristic of Goblins is that they impoverish the land of Far Far East, by mining gold. In the same time Darkskins are familiar with Humans for only couple of years. Humans help Darkskins educate and share their culture with Darkskins, but in the same time Humans endanger safety of Darkskins by building Gaol and impoverishing their homeland, by cutting forests, mining gold and growing their own plants, which uproot native plants. It is known that both factions use Darkskins as slaves, and that their future will be dark and gloomy under the leadership of both factions, but they can not choose to be neutral with both, because it endanger their future in Far Far East.
