Introduction:	'''Arasia''' is a specialized branch of [[Osia]], focusing on the manipulation of spirits tied to darkness. Practitioners, known as Arasiari, attune themselves to the conscious presence of darkness itself, drawing power from the primordial force of Arafia.
History:
Principles:	Arasia involves the manipulation of the spirits of darkness. Through mental [[attunement]], Arasiari can control these spirits, manipulating darkness. Arasiari believe that darkness holds the key to understanding the unknown, and by manipulating these spirits, they can influence both the physical world and the minds of others.
Role in Society:	Arasiari are sought after for their ability their talents in stealth, illusion, and concealment make them valuable to rulers, scholars, and warriors alike, but many also view them with caution and superstition.
Spiritual Hierarchy:	Like all branches of Osia, Arasia involves the manipulation of spirits at various stages of development. These spirits represent different aspects of darkness. [[Nascent Spirit\|Nascent Spirits]] are fleeting spirits of temporary darkness. These are the first spirits an Arasiari learns to control. [[Mature Spirit\|Mature Spirits]] are spirits that linger in perpetual shadow, tied to places where darkness persists consistently. [[Ancestral Spirit\|Ancestral Spirits]] are entities that embody darkness that has becoming mythological in nature.

Training and Attunement:	Training to become an Arasiari involves years of practice. Novices must learn to perceive the subtleties of darkness, tuning their minds to the nuances of shadows and the spaces between light. As they progress, they gain the ability to manipulate nascent spirits of darkness, bending shadows to their will. Advanced Arasiari train to influence more complex aspects of darkness, such as mature spirits tied to regions of constant darkness. The depths of a well or a cave for example. This requires deep understanding and immense focus, as darkness spirits are notoriously difficult to control due to their secretive and elusive nature. To achieve this level, Arasiari spend long periods of time living in complete darkness.
