The Old Alliance

"In front of every great elf, stands a good dwarf."

An old organization dating back to the Days of Thunder during the wars against the dragons and giants. The foundations of the Alliance were laid when two ancient elven houses and a large dwarven clan created a pact to protect their lands together. The elves would thrive on the surface while the dwarves expanded below.

Polices
The Old Alliance is always divided into pairs. the pairs always contain one elf and one dwarf and one of the two must have access to the Art or the Power. The two are generally introduced to each other at young ages after their natural abilities have developed enough to realize their potential paths. After they have shown talent in their natural field of study they are then introduced to their opposite. When it comes to pairing an elf and dwarf it is always the dwarf's decision of what elf he will choose. His only limitation is that he choose a role opposite himself. The elves actually decided to allow the dwaves to choose believing that it will instill the dwarf with a higher sense of companionship and protectiveness.
