[QUOTE="Rhialto, post: 2129787, member: 630"] However, observers more knowledgable about Ur-Sai, the empire of the Urukhs, doubt this is the case. The culture of Ur-Sai is reclusive and mystical, placing great value in stability, and the unchanging nature of the Empire. Urukhs have been known to state that Ur-Sai is eternal--that it has seen the foundings of all nations, and will see the fall of all nations. While a few ambitious generals dream of wars of expansion, for the Court in general the work of the army is making sure the borders of Ur-Sai never change. The more restless youths join the Black Fist Brotherhood, quenching their desire for new experiences by sending them beyond the Empire's borders, and calming them by emersing them in the Brotherhood's deep philosophy of order, obligations, and the nature of the universe. For centuries, the Brotherhood has sold its services in Aleasana, while reporting back to the Court as to what occurs there. These days, the Court seems very concerned about Aleasana's steady slide into greater and greater chaos. Dvergar legends hold that the Urukhs are the crossbred offspring of a mysterious race of "demons" that marched in the armies of a mythical evil figure they call "the Lordling" and the "Tall People" another aboriginal group of Aleasana. Both the "demons" and the Tall People were wiped out in the war, leaving only their children, the Urukhs. The Urukhs' have their own version of their origin, though they don't tell it to outsiders.
