The Dal'Rok was a manifestation of the fears of the villagers, focused through a fragment of an Orb worn by the village storyteller, the Sirah. For many years, the villagers had been torn apart by hate and mistrust and the first Sirah created the Dal'Rok as a means of uniting the villagers against an external enemy and preventing the village from destroying itself. The secret of the Dal'Rok was passed down from Sirah to Sirah.
