History of Dalel: Difference between revisions

<noautolinks>{{main|Cosmology of Adaris}}</noautolinks>Dalel was the first tangible realm to emerge from the [[Primordial Void]], formed by [[Yairan]], the Primordial [[Spirit]] of Earth, from the chaotic essence of [[Astram]]. In its initial state, Dalel existed as an infinite expanse of solid stone—featureless, unmoving, and untouched by the other elemental forces. It stood in contrast to the realms that followed, embodying permanence, structure, and endurance.

<noautolinks>{{main|Era of Isolation}}</noautolinks>Before the arrival of the other primordial elements—[[Tejas]], [[Aahi]], and [[Yavi]]—Dalel existed in a state of absolute geological stability. The landscape was marked by plateaus, stone fields, and cliffs shaped only by the interplay of light and shadow. During this period, the first sentient beings of the realm, the [[Yairanian|Namuril]], began to emerge from the living stone.

As erosion and external elements gradually altered the realm, the Namuril diminished in scale. Some of the eldest Namuril are said to remain deep within the Citadel Mountains, preserved in their original, colossal forms.

<noautolinks>{{main|Great Erosion}}</noautolinks>With the advent of fire, water, and air, Dalel underwent a profound transformation. Rivers carved gorges, winds reshaped cliffs, and volcanic forces fractured the once-continuous stone. Known as the [[Great Erosion]], this epoch marked the transition from an infinite landmass to the more bounded geography. The [[Citadel Mountains]] in modern day [[Terasil]] became a protective core, preserving the heart of ancient Dalel.
