Warhawkes

The Warhawkes are a tribe of primarily dark elven individuals who once lived alongside their Ker'norian cousins. The modern Warhawke tribe was founded by Ereinion Taloha II in Asulon. Their current home is the city of Leyu'celia — a camp which they declare as a home for all elves, mali'ker and like-minded individuals.
While they do not adhere to the same Ancestral worship as their cousins, they have always venerated past chieftains and warriors who have fought for them or alongside them. This is because they are a passionate people that care for one another, and their allies, deeply.
A true Warhawke's heart burns with the ferocious blue flames of Heaven's Fire.

History
Asulon
In early Asulon, Ereinion Taloha II approached the gates of a city that glowed the cleanest shade of pure white that he had ever seen. At this time, he did not yet know who he was; thus, he went by the sole name of Rei. As fate would have it, he was allowed to enter the city after being berated by the xenophobic high elves operating the gate. He was given a passport. At the gates of Haelun'or, history began for the Warhawkes.
The forgotten lineage of the wayward Rei would be uncovered in his time in Haelun'or. He would endure being treated like a sub-elven being as he toiled in the farms with Delonna— a high elf who had always been kind to him. He would one day ask for vacation and would travel to the wilds and meet his relatives. He would learn that, by blood and belief of the Warhawkes, it was his lifelong duty to lead the Warhawkes and other ker.
So he did. He left Haelun'or and sought to rebuild his people's home in a far away land with the Subudai. The camp would be built just outside of Ursakar. The Warhawkes would eventually grow to where the camp would no longer accommodate their numbers. They were given a fort in the mountains of Urguan. This would foster a relationship with Urguan that would follow the Kingdom into Athera and Vailor.
The Chieftain Ereinion II built his camp. He lived his life and grew his family. His early death would fracture the Warhawkes and scatter them all once more to all corners of the world.

Axios
Following the arrival to Axios, Warhawkes founded a settlement of Riv’vallel in the western plains of Asul by the bandit nation of the Dreadlands. They were led by chieftains Ereinion and Eraynion. A war, Krajian Rebellion, broke in Asul which marked the first conflict in Axios where the Warhawkes were involved. The war concluded in Imperial conquer of the Dreadlands and dissolvement of the nation.
The spoils of war forced the groups living within the former Dreadlands to split and survive on their own. Exhausted, the Chiefdom briefly relocated themselves under the elven nation Haelun'or and secured a furtive position in a plot of land given by Sohaer Kelthran Iyathir. In this land they rebuilt their capital, honoring the name of Riv’vallel.
Chieftain Ereinion attempted to negotiate an agreement with the Enclave of Ker'nor and lone band of Krugmar Mali’Ker about the unification of Ker. The plan involved formation of a united Ker Nation with many acting leaders ruling their own domains, yet it didn’t come to fruition as a new war separated the Ker even more. The Chiefdom portrayed itself neutral in War of Orcish Submission but covertly supplied the Krugmar with means of warfare. The Imperials were eventually victorious, leaving an ultimatum to Haelun’or. It stated that vassalization of Warhawkes was not legitimate and they would have to leave the elven nation. They submit to the Imperial’s wish and ordered their deserted settlement to be set in flames. They became nomadic once more, surviving on their own terms as they had done for decades. Warhawkes loyal to their chieftain were granted a haven within the halls of Kal'Nikaer, accompanied by refugees of past conflict, Courlanders, Snow Elves and Orcs alike. Others were split across many continents and found their place in Sutica, some went to live in Ker’nor
While finding their course Erolas Bai’kana and Ecaeris Des’nox took the time to mend relations with the Enclave of Ker'nor. Blood was spilled between the two groups over meaningless differences. This internal struggle was ceased with the aid of Jayce Des’nox, a former Ba’ikana. The relations recovered quickly to the point where Warhawkes were offered shelter in Ker’nor
Widespread conflict between Orenian Empire and substantial number of nations broke in the year of 1593. With the rising of the Coalition, the Warhawkes took it upon themselves to join and put an end to the Empire they greatly disliked. Before the final destruction of the Orenian capital. Ereinion, Eraynion and Erolas met up with a few Savoyards and spoke to the High Prince of the Dominion. In exchange for some land to both the Warhawkes and Savoy, the Dominion was to back out of the war and cease all hostilities against the members of the coalition.
The Warhawkes were given a big chunk of land towards the eastern coast of Tahn, by the Dominion of Malin. With this they built their settlement of Leyu’celia. The Warhawkes thrived in this new capital and continue to do so to this day.
