Introduction

Arihis is the Ascendant Spirit of desert, sand and glass. One of the first Ascendant Spirits, Arihis arose from the wind-worn earth of Arezilur after the Great Erosion, and in the Age of Ascendance created the Qerem.

Nature and Influence

Arihis represents the power of the desert, from the slow erosion of rock to sand to the formation of the great dunes.

Nothing in the desert remains the same for long, and those who live under Arihis's influence must accept change.

Realm and Sacred Seat

Arihis lives in the Arezilur Desert. The House of Arihis stands in the central desert. The desert is a place of extremes, very hot by day and cold by night, and its dunes move with the wind.

Osia

The Path of Arihis focuses on the shaping and holding of sand. The Qerem are attuned to it from birth: they sense water beneath the sand, feel sandstorms coming, and shape sand into walls. Some Berturracioi also learn it.

Significance and Worship

The Qerem revere Arihis as their creator and make pilgrimages to the House of Arihis. The Berturracioi honor Arihis as the spirit of the desert and the source of the glass of Beilisia.
