|Origin and Nature=Like all human races of Dalel, the Arânzeni trace their ancestry to the original humans of [[Haberria]], an island associated with imagination and limitless potential. These early humans were created by [[Pavkanai]], the Spirit of Imagination and one of the original spirits of the world. The reasons for their dispersal from Haberria are unknown, but those who would become the Arânzeni settled in the mountain valleys of Khamria near the [[ | |Origin and Nature=Like all human races of Dalel, the Arânzeni trace their ancestry to the original humans of [[Haberria]], an island associated with imagination and limitless potential.

Kar-Tha is the seat of the Council of Kar-Thal, which nominally governs all Arânzeni territories, though its direct authority is strongest within the Vale and the nearby Yalta Wastes. The Vale contains several smaller settlements, while the Wastes remain sparsely populated, home to only a single known city. | ||
