|Introduction=The Isari are a tall, human-descended people native to the isolated Isles of Harani, located off the western coast 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. Their society is structured around inherited forms, ritual aesthetics, and an enduring belief in the sanctity of contained memory. 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.

Spiritually, the Isari are aligned with the ~~Ascended~~ Spirit Ilvaren, a veiled presence associated with Culture and Alienation. Through Ilvaren’s influence, the Isari regard isolation not as a defect, but as a condition for the purity of meaning and the continuity of tradition. They place high importance on the controlled transmission of knowledge, the preservation of ancestral forms, and the quiet endurance of identity without outward validation.

|Origin and Nature=The Isari trace their origins to the early phases of the Great Migration, when groups of trueborn humans crossed the western ocean and settled in the fertile island chain later known as the Isles of Harani. Cut off from the mainland for tens of millennia, these early settlers adapted to the region’s temperate climate and abundant resources while developing a social structure increasingly oriented around stability, refinement, and the formalization of memory.

Unlike other human-descended cultures that diversified through exploration or elemental integration, the Isari turned inward. Influenced by the spiritual presence of **Ilvaren**, the ~~Ascended~~ Spirit of Culture and Alienation, they came to view isolation as a protective condition—one that enabled the preservation of unaltered custom and intentional form. This orientation shaped every aspect of their development: from architecture and inheritance to rites of speech, mourning, and movement.

Physiologically, the Isari differ subtly from other human lineages. They are notably tall, ranging from six to seven feet in height, with elongated limbs and narrow bone structures. These traits are thought to have developed in response to both environmental factors and generational inward focus, reinforcing a visual impression of grace and physical restraint.
