Introduction

The Isari are a tall, human-descended people native to the isolated Isles of Harani, located in the Southern Ocean of Orethil. Known for their cultural inwardness and deep preservationist traditions, the Isari developed over tens of thousands of years apart from the mainland realms. Though they maintain limited diplomatic and trade contact, the Isari are broadly regarded as distant and self-contained, rarely participating in the broader political or spiritual affairs of Orethil.

The Isari are influenced by the Ascendant Spirit Ilvaren, a veiled presence associated with Culture, Language and Alienation. Through Ilvaren’s influence, the Isari regard isolation not as a defect, but as a condition for the purity of their culture.

Origin and Nature

The Isari trace their origins to the early phases of the Great Migration, when groups of Ankasa crossed the ocean and settled on the fertile island later known as the Isle of Harani. Cut off from the mainland, these early settlers adapted to the region’s temperate climate and abundant resources.

Biology and Physical Traits

The Isari are notably tall by human standards, with average adult heights ranging from six to seven feet. Their physiques are lean, with elongated limbs, narrow shoulders, and fine-boned facial structures. Skin tones are darker bronze, with minimal variation across population groups. Hair is typically dark and straight, though aging commonly results in a muted silver-gray rather than white.
