Nekkarn was the last incarnation of Hielarn, the powerful magocracy shattered by the dan'si. Nekkarn perished in the Seven-Years War, the final conflict between Nekkarn and the faerilven kingdom of Illendia, but Illendia was left to devastated to take advantage, and collapsed soon after. The few true-blooded Hielites left scattered to the winds, and the race is believed to be extinct, though a few sages believe the Tuonar, a race of sorcerers in the far north, preserve at least one of the darker Hielite bloodlines.
