Darkfall is made up of six playable races divided into 3 groups including Alfar (dark elves) Orks, Mahirrim Humans, Mirdain (forest elves), and Dwarves. There is little necessary link between racial choice and character choices or progression options. Each race has his own homeland and their unique storylines, histories and racial enemies. Both of them can form a mixed-race faction as you like. Once your racial allies formed, you can declare war upon both your own race and your racial allies. It is not allowed to attack and kill players from your opposite clan while you are in a declaring clan.
