The Darcsens are Europa's oldest indigenous race, said to have lived across the continent since ancient times. They are characterized by their dark blue-black hair and shawls or various accessories bearing the traditional Darcsen pattern.

History tells of a "Darcsen Calamity" in which this race devastated the continent until the Valkyrur defeated them in the War of the Valkyrur. For their crimes of senseless destruction, the Darcsens were stripped of their last names and chased from their jobs and property, and remain the target of hatred and persecution.

Many of the Darscens were exiled into other lands, making them one of the largest indigenous races across the world with over a population of 25.5 million. Today, persecution and hatred against Darscens are lower and less. The passage of the Darscen Emancipation of 1830 by the Lucis Parliament was made in effect to lower the discrimination against the Darscens living within Lucis Sovereignty (Gallia-Bruhl included) but still it persisted until 1945, when the Second Europan War ended.

History

Ancient Greecia and the Hellenistic World

Darscen tribes have been recorded to have poured into Greecia during the latter years of the Greecian Dark Ages. Various tribal leaders have ruled over multiple Greecian city-states, and eventually, they grew accustomed to Greecian culture, and assimilated to it subsequently while preserving their roots.

Numerous amounts of Darscens have been recorded to serve in the army of Alexandros the Great, fighting with him in battles like in Halicarnassus, Tyre, Gaugamela, and the Hydaspes. Subsequently, various military settlements were made for the Darscen soldiers that wish to start a new life in another land. Some examples are Alexandria Eschate, Alexandria on the Indus, and Alexandria Bucephalus.

Eventually after the death of Alexandros, his successors divided the Empire into four parts as a result of the Wars of the Diadochi. In the northeast of Greecia, Eryalus I Cuanous, one of Alexandros's bodyguards, established the Eryalid Kingdom that ruled over Thracia, Northern Macedonna, and Western Milites. They would have conflicts with the Antigonid Empire over the middle land that would last for 30 years.

Darscens during the Hellenistic Era prospered greatly, as they enjoyed a good lifestyle within Greecian standards. Even so, the Greek alphabet was adapted into use by several Darscens tribes as the result of the influence of the Eryalid realm. The end came after the division of Dath'Remar's empire and its subsequent conquest by the Valkyrur. It climaxed into the Valkyrur conquest of the Eryalid Kingdom, where the last Eryalid king Lysimachus XV Philobalkyruaeus surrendered his realm to the Valkyrur, which ended Darscen prosperity in Europa.

Ethnic Divisions

Europa

Bletriche (Μπλετρίχες)

Also known as the Hellenic Darscens, the Bletriche are a Darscen ethnic division residing in the Milites Empire, moreover, in the Greecia region. They have a proud and long history stretching back to the later years of the Greecian Dark Ages.

Scandinavia

Obradovian (Обрадовјаци; Obradovjaci)

Obradovians are a Darscen ethnic division that reside in the Aurucolian constituent country of Obradovia. They speak a language that is correspondent to Hebrew, their home tongue, but with significant Slavic influence. Along with Slavic clothing, the Obradovians formed their own national identity, although preserving their past heritage simultaneously.

During the Komrance War, they have suffered under an ethnic cleansing initiative committed by Zebrian troops from Rajkovia and the proto-states of Zebrian Komrance and Zebrian Yugozaprajina. Today, they are currently thriving.

Asianna

Puleunmeo (푸른머)

The Puleunmeo are a Darscen ethnic division residing in Joyonghea.

The sets of Darscens that emigrated to Joyonghea first came along during the n-th century when they were faced with persecutions from Aurucolia and the Ruzhite Empire. They faced persecutions and discriminations at first, but at the time when the Gangsong Dynasty ruled during the 14th Century, reforms were implemented to make them more accepted into the society. Although gradual, the Puleunmeo were eventually integrated fully into Joyonghean society by the time of the Jeyeong Dynasty in 1665.

Tóc Xanh

The Tóc Xanh are a Darscen ethnic division residing in Quenmin.

Unlike the Joyongheans at first, the ruling dynasty at that time, the Kiếm Hoà Dynasty, welcomed them into society after emigrating from Lorica to escape discrimination and pogroms in the early 14th century, under the condition that they serve at least two years in the military.

Pyarsan (ပ္ယရသန)

The Pyarsan are a Darscen ethnic division residing in Bethausia.

Along with their previously mentioned counterparts, they arrived in the northern provinces to escape Lorican discrimination and pogroms in the early 14th century.

Khunsipha (คนสีฟ้า)

The Khunsipha are a Darscen ethnic division residing in Tamau.

The first ones came as employed traders and merchants from Bethausia and Quenmin. Eventually, as the Second Anarchy ravaged Quenmin in 1830, plenty of them emigrated down south to seek protection from war.
