Dark Elf
The thunder was deafening but I didn't notice a thing. I was watching over the dwarfish slaves that were mining the rich gold deposits of Zapadias, the island to the west of Koboldia. My whip cracked over the dwarfs backs as soon as I saw one slacking. I was an obedient worker and was loyal only to the dark elf king, the self proclaimed leader of Zapadias.
