Inhabitants of Adaris

The inhabitants of Adaris encompass a vast spectrum of sentient beings, each shaped by the spiritual, elemental, and geographic forces of their realm. From the stoneborn of Terasil to the wind-carried wanderers of Vaelthar, every sophant reflects a different balance of survival, culture, and spiritual resonance.

Classification

The peoples of Adaris fall broadly into two categories:

Sophants

Sophants are corporeal, sentient beings who have developed language, culture, and societal structures. Many are descendants of the Primordial Spirits or were formed through the merging of elemental and conscious forces.

Spiritual Beings

Entities that exist between the material and metaphysical realms. Some serve as guides, guardians, or manifestations of deeper forces and may interact with or inhabit the same realms as sophants.
