The Holy Empire of Ecclain however is arrogant and views all others not of themselves as heathens, sinful blasphemers. They wish to purge the world of orcs and dark elves, though they reluctantly agree to ally with the elves and dwarven allies of Daether, their fellow humans, who they wish to convert.
