Dorai also have an aptitude for magick, but most agree they are not as adept at the arcane arts as the elves are. Most Dorai who manipulate arcane forces come to their powers naturally as opposed to through study. The majority of these powers are genetic, creating powerful houses of sorcery within Dorai society, often focused blood, shadow, or nature magick.
Dorai Religion: The wraith elf religion is a mystery to all. Most wraith elves either follow one of the four major modern religions or profess to be agnostic. A few wraith elves have been known to apply for membership into various druidic circles throughout the World Continent but it is unknown whether their applications were accepted.
Dorai Language: As with the languages of most other non-human races, much of the original Dorai tongue is forgotten. A few scattered words remain, such as Ca Rier, Trszi, and dor'in. Dorai elders tend to sprinkle their conversation with these types of words, but this is a habit that few of the younger generation cling to. In general, the Dorai prefer words that end in vowels, particularly "ee" and "eye" sounds. Many elders add these sounds to human words that end in consonants. Most dorai speak in short, choppy sentences.
Adventurers: The Dorai who were alive when the race first contacted humans are now starting to die off, and they feel an urgency to carry on their customs in the face of the overwhelming human majority. The younger generation care less for tradition, and rapidly adopt the more convenient ways of the modern age, infuriating their elders. These young Dorai often become adventurers, seeking their fortunes among the other races. Their natural talents for stealth afford them plenty of opportunities to become spies, scouts, and rogues.
Dorais' lives are difficult, caught between ancient traditions of their ancestors and the modern ways of humanity, and constantly misjudged and mistrusted as thieves, vagabonds, or worse. The race shrouds themselves in mystery and secrecy as a defense mechanism.
