~~'''~~[[~~Orasians~~]]~~'''~~ are a ~~race of beings in '''~~[[~~Adaris~~]]~~'''~~, ~~born from the coalesced consciousness of the earth within the realm of '''~~[[~~Terasil~~]]~~'''. As living embodiments of the earth’s consciousness~~, ~~Orasians are intrinsically connected to the land~~, ~~seeing themselves as both its protectors~~ and ~~integral parts of its very essence~~. ~~This connection to the earth grants them unique abilities,~~ a ~~deep sense~~ of ~~purpose~~, ~~and~~ a ~~culture centered around~~ the ~~preservation and balance~~ of ~~the natural world~~.

Among the human populations of [[Orethil]], the [[Duranthi]] are often regarded as a people deeply shaped by time. Strongly influenced by the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of memory, [[Varunel]], Duranthi culture centers on history, continuity, and preservation. While often seen as a remnant of an earlier era, the Duranthi continue to play a significant role in the broader landscape of Orethil.

Origin and Nature

~~Orasians first emerged during the early days~~ of ~~Adaris~~, as the ~~consciousness~~ of ~~the earth began to awaken to its own existence~~. ~~Initially~~, ~~they were massive, towering beings~~ of ~~stone and crystal, reflecting~~ the ~~raw power~~ and ~~stability of Terasil~~. ~~Over time, as~~ the ~~earth’s consciousness became more refined~~, the ~~Orasians took on distinct forms that mirrored~~ the ~~diverse geology of their realm. Today, while many Orasians have been reduced in size due to natural erosion, they still possess incredible strength~~ and ~~durability~~, ~~their bodies retaining~~ the ~~hardness~~ and ~~resilience~~ of ~~stone~~.

The Duranthi, like all human races of Orethil, trace their origins to the [[Trueborn]] humans who once inhabited the island of [[Awenlir]], a place associated with imagination and limitless potential. For reasons not fully understood, many or all of the Trueborn departed from their ancestral homeland and dispersed across Orethil. The group that would become the Duranthi settled in Sanctuary Vale, a region located near the heart of the world and closely associated with Varunel, the Ascendant Spirit of memory and history. Over the course of approximately three thousand cycles, this population underwent significant transformation.
