|History==== Formation of Zanarak ===
|History==== Formation of Zanarak ===
Zanarak was formed when the primordial elements of Shasae (wind) and Oras (earth), combined, bringing forth Arenam, the Spirit of Sand and Glass. Unlike the Primordial Spirits, Arenam is the first of the next generation of Ascendant Spirits, emerging from the conscious concept of wind-eroded earth. Arenam represents erosion, illusion, and the ever-changing nature of the desert, symbolizing both destruction and transformation.

Zanarakis is both a physical and a spiritual realm, where reality often blurs with illusion. The desert’s inhabitants—the Gilaari and Sunshifters—have adapted to its unpredictable nature, developing cultures based on survival, movement, and the mastery of illusion and transformation.
