Awenelir: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:37, 22 December 2025

Awenelir is the homeland of humanity in Adaris. It is considered the convergence point where the dream-realm of Kalpanas, guided by Awenlas, breached the physical world of Earth, Orethil. From this breach emerged the first humans, shaped in thought and then born into flesh.

Origin and Nature

Awenelir was an island where metaphysical and physical forces merged. Its terrain was marked by surreal landscapes: reflective waters, singing forests, and hills that carried memory. It was the first place where the influence of Awenlas manifested materially.

Human History

The early human societies of Awenelir existed in a harmony with paradise. Their dreams able to manifest themselves in wondrous ways. For reasons unknown, eventually it is thought all the humans left their island home. Waves of migration, lead humans into the rest of Orethil. It was here, overtime, where other spirits began to influence and evolve the humans and the races we know today were born.

Decline and Disappearance

Over time, Awenelir either collapsed, transcended, or became sealed beyond reach. Its exact fate is unknown.

Legacy

Many explorers still seek Awenelir. They believe that the original humans, often called Trueborn, might still exist. Various kingdoms and sects claim ancestral ties to it.
