Introduction

Arenam, the Spirit of Sand and Glass, is an Ascendant Spirit born from the merging of Oras, the Primordial Spirit of Earth, and Shasae, the Primordial Spirit of Air. Arenam embodies the ever-shifting sands of the Zanarak Desert.

Nature and Influence

Arenam represents the relentless power of the desert, from the slow erosion of rock to sand to the formation of massive dunes.

Nothing in the desert remains the same for long, and those who live under Arenam’s influence must embrace change.

Realm

The Zanarak Desert is Arenam’s domain, a vast, ever-changing desert where nothing remains the same for long. It is a place of extremes, where the scorching sun bakes the dunes by day, and cold winds sweep across the sands by night.

Zanarak’s landscape reflects Arenam’s will, with dunes that shift overnight. To the unwary, the desert grants an unforgiving death, but to those who understand Arenam’s nature, it is a realm of endless possibility.

Osia

The branch of Osia that focuses on the manipulation of sand and to a degree illusion. Practitioners learn to harness the transient nature of the desert.

 |Nature and Influence=Arenam represents the power of the desert—destruction and renewal, permanence and impermanence. It is the force that wears mountains down to dust, yet also the hand that sculpts dunes into breathtaking formations. Unlike Oras, which provides stability, Arenam embodies the futility of permanence, showing that even the strongest structures will crumble under the passage of time and wind.
