Am I the only one who absolutely hates Iksars?

[Aaramis]

I'm a huge fan of them, but I enjoy the lore behind them. They went from being slaves to becoming an empire so powerful that it even threatened the dragons. Their research was stellar, even using powerful magic to create new races (sokokar, sarnaks).

While they're a shadow of their former selves these days, there's a reason the mainlands despise / fear them, and with good reason. Should they ever rise up again, the world would be in serious trouble.
