On that note from some dialogue a soldier reports to gaius that Rhitahtyn Sas Arvina was defeated, gaius questioned why his men abandoned him (Rhitahtyn sent them away) and if it was due to his birth. This suggests that pure bloods discriminate against other races and I'd imagine a founding figure would of also been a pure blood. The allagan decent could date so far that it could barely be considered a different heritage from the others as most spoken races could be decent from them.
