"The Duleans? Is that some kind of nationality? As I gather you're from the Land of Dul." Ellie whispered in a tiny voice.
"Huh? Well, I guess you could look at it that way, but the Land of Dul was not a unified territory." Ekker replied, crossing his arms. "It's like those wilderness regions teeming with tribes of orcs, kobolds and goblins. They stand together against external threats but otherwise spend most of their time fighting. It was kind of the same with us. We were like a conglomeration of tribes except that the neighboring nations hated us quite viscerally. They were territories strictly populated by humans, elves or dwarves and they see us as abominations. Alas, often rightly so. Not all Duleans are able to control their instincts."
