History
Before the Lighteyes took power, the Oldbloods ruled Alethkar. Little is known about how they ruled, other than that it was many years ago. Almost all power has been taken from then and they are now no longer a threat to the current monarchy. They have light colored eyes, so they are admitted into the ruling class, but they don't have any more authority than any other Lighteyes.
“ Years ago Alethkar was ruled by a different group of people. A different, like, dynasty. It's been overturned and it's been a long enough time that they're not really a threat.
