"I tend to not work with udoras and the
likes, heard that they ate babies !!!"
— Eddie The Coward.

According to ancient legends, the Udoras were born by
accident. Formerly an ancient clan of High-Elves, devoted
exclusively to a worship of Olbium, the god of mischief and
change.
But Kione, the goddess of torture who wanted worshipers
of the cult, fomented a trick to take the place of Olbium in
the elven cult, and thus be able to convince many elves to
worship to her.
Kione devoured Olbium, who in the intestine of this filthy
God was transformed, then digested before being defecated.
These remains then gave birth to Azros, god of hatred, a
tortured and monstrous being, who then got banned from
High-Elves beliefs.
The ruse of Kione only deceived a small group of Wood-
Elves, who became the Dark-Elves, who let themselves be
duped and made themselves known and followed her in the
Underdark.
Guided by their prophet Nymzyr Godearn, the Dark-Elves
initiated themselves to the worship of Kione and later
became the Drows. Those who remained faithful to Olbium
remained, underwent a similar mutation to represent the lost
and transformation of their god, and became the Udoras.
The Udoras then created small bastions nestled in the
mountains of provinces while others formed communities,
where most of the udoras now live.

Udoras are similar to elves in nature, but have black or deep
red skin and sharp canines.
