Taldor

"Curse those Taldor swine! They ravage the land and threaten our children! 

The evil and twisted creations of the jealous god, Palelil, these creatures seek to end the life of every dwarf on Tarq!"

Creation
When Rohrkhad created the Dwarves, his misshapen brother, the foul god Palelil, in his jealousy and hatred, created the loathesome race of Taldor.

Palelil, so we believe, breathed life into the Taldor. Because of Palelil's fear and hatred of Rohrkhad, the Taldor race unthinkingly strived for the destruction of all the dwarven peoples.

Traits
When the Taldor were first created, they had no thoughts of their own, only the repulsive thoughts of their maker. When Rohrkhad saw what his brother had done, his rage was like fire from the heavens, but the deed was done and could not be undone.

However, that his children, the Dwarves, not be mercilessly slaughtered by the new, hideous creations, he overpowered Palelil and forced a weakness upon the Taldor.

Palelil was the watcher of a far distant planet which he destroyed on a whim. He came to Tarq searching for another plaything. When he saw the planet that Rohrkhad controlled he was drawn by its beauty. Later, when Rhorkad created a race, Palelil tried to also but he was under-skilled and his creation was tainted. Since that time, he has been embittered and strives to destroy as he cannot create.

Palelil created the magic axe Mukora for his first taldor, Greffen, so he could defeat Dalkhad, the first dwarf. Greffen was defeated by Dalkhad, and Palelil intervined and killed Dalkhad, taking Mukora back in the process. It is rumored to be kept with him.

Thousands of years ago, Lórien/Palelil, battled Palelil and killed him during the time of the second God War. He had been a Watcher, and the law of the time stated that he must reward those who summon him to the world. He was a bitter god so his blessing only helped the most useless skills. Before his death, Palelil rested in the Dark Temple.

There are the ruins of a shrine to Palelil high up in the mountains to the west of Rulaan.

Weakness
When Palelil was at his mercy, Rohrkhad decreed that the Taldor shall have a weakness for alcohol and that their tongues shall loosen greatly when drunk, revealing all manner of secrets, should the Dwarves be crafty enough to wrest them out of the drunken miscreants.

The Taldor are also weak in bright light.
