The Dals were the race of people predominant in the Dalasian Protectorates, and were related to the slave race of Cthol Murgos. A group of Godless Ones, their main seat of civilization was Kell; the rest of their villages were deliberately ruined towns. They had no ruler, but did have organisation, and at the time of Garion, the most respected among the Dals was Cyradis, the Seeress of Kell.
