	Many traditions hold that Dakriel were created by the [[Marcon Alliance]] sometime during the dynastic period. Since many well-dated sites indicate Dakriel presence even before most proposed dates for [[High Tower]], this theory requires that a population of Dakriel must have been sent back in time. This principle holds little traction with most impartial scholars, and his primarily held by academics with little understanding of magic.

While some aspired to political and social power, as a culture they were comfortable mingling with other races. Most Dakriel did not attempt to hold territory, relocating as needed.

	During the [[Mage Wars#The Dynastic Period\|Dynastic Period]], the Dakriel were the frequent target of ethnic cleansing by the [[Marcon Alliance]](~~marconians~~ typically ~~not being fans of~~ anyone who didn't look like them). This, amongst other poor choices, hurt the Marcons greatly. While not terribly attached to their land, Dakriel were agile and extremely capable warriors. It is estimated that for each Dakriel killed in a major Marconian purge, between 2 and 5 Marconian soldiers died.

	By the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period\|Second Chaotic Period]], Dakriel populations were mostly limited to the Agras Plains and regions along the Sword Coast, with a sizable number living in and around Sun's Beacon. They also had villages and towns in [[Sindall]] and some presence in the [[Lowland Plains]]. Numbers continued to dwindle, however, as Darkiel frequently intermaried with humans and other races, and by the dawn of the [[[[Ages#The Golden Age\|Golden Age]], very few full-blooded Darkiel existed.

	Their population saw a resurgence, however, as it was soon realized that many off-world populations existed. Sometime during the Dynastic Period, Dakreil had become allied with the [[Runarin]]s, and from this alliance had gained access to star travel. Most of the remaining population on the greater continent migrated away at this time, and by the mid Golden Age they were gone from the region.

	For the next five ~~millenia~~, Darkiel were thought to be purely nomadic, roaming the verse in generational spacecraft.

	~~However, in~~ the early [[Ages#The Sixth Age\|Sixth Age]], with the start of the [[Kamian Succession Wars]], it came to wide knowledge that the Dakriel had a great many colonies throughout the ~~known worlds~~, and in fact had a population several orders of magnitude higher than anyone realized. By treaty with the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]], Darkiel had ~~gained~~ access to countless [[Protected Planets Treaty\|protected planets]] and were often allowed to settle at will. The Dakriel were still largely nomadic, frequently remaining on a settled planet for only a few centuries at a time.

	The Dakriel fled the advancing Kamians, and eventually over seven billion of them were re-settled on two planets in the [[Mabak System]]. As was their way in times of war, the Dakriel chose sides(against the Kamians~~, as one tends to do~~), and used the resources of the Mabak system, along with aid from the Foundation and old allies, the Runarins, to begin constructing ships and weapons. The Dakriel first built a powerful defensive network of ships and satellites that would go on to deflect two major Kamian assualts. They next turned their hand to creating a massive offensive fleet.

	At sites all around the combat area, Dakriel technicians proved highly adept at repairing damaged ships, upgrading obsolete ones, and even converting civilian vessels. Most of the majors powers employed them and the fielded a sizable(compared to the over-all population) fleet of their own. By midway through the war, Dakriel ships were fighting in every major confrontation. Supreme Command [[Instructor Gailen\|Gailen]] even referred to them as "the ante on the [[Don't Pass Line]].
