	'''The Era of Isolation''' (c. BME 80,000-95,000) refers to the formative period in the history of [[Orethil]] following the realm's initial creation. It is defined by the absence of external elemental influences, during which the realm remained geologically ~~and spiritually sealed~~. This period laid the foundation for the emergence of the Orasians and the development of Orethil's early ~~metaphysical and cultural~~ identity.		'''The Era of Isolation''' (c.

	Following the formation of Orethil from the chaotic substance of [[Astram]] by the [[primordial spirit]] [[Oras]], the realm existed as an infinite, unchanging expanse of solid stone. No rivers flowed, no winds stirred, and no fire reshaped the land. The only natural contrast was the movement of shadow and light across barren stone fields, cliffs, and high plateaus. This stasis fostered an environment of silence, continuity, and internal resonance.

	During this time, the first stirrings of consciousness emerged from within the stone itself. Fragments of Oras’s awareness gradually coalesced into sentient ~~forms—the earliest~~ Orasians.
