Dartuin

''Wrought from the stones of the earth known as Ghea, The Dartuin be only known as the gift of the earth. Short and troublesome they may be, but their hearts are as pure as gold. Their strength can only be matched by their purity. - Lord Dalados of Ghandis ~ 38 AGW''

The Dartuins are a race similar to the dwarves in ancient lore of the old Lekosian times, but the difference is they have a cat's tail and ears that are much like a gazelle. The Dartuins are not as dark as some would picture them, but rather they just keep to themselves.

Religion
''Twas the Dartuins who are the eldest of priests and Purgists. They formed the legendary Templains, the riders of religion. - History of Dartuin''

The Dartuins were the first ever to start praying to the gods and ended up massing the largest of all the commotions in their civil wars. When the Dartuins were tested for their faith, they came out strong and willful. Soon they formed the largest temple in the history of the world. They also constructed the Cloister of Scions, the home of the Demi gods: the Sandris Buri.
