|Introduction='''Orasians''' are a race of beings in [[Adaris]], born from the coalesced [[consciousness]] of the earth within the realm of [[Terasil]]. As living embodiments of the earth’s consciousness, Orasians are intrinsically connected to the land, seeing themselves as both its protectors and integral parts of its very essence. This connection to the earth grants them unique abilities, a deep sense of purpose, and a culture centered around the preservation and balance of the natural world. | |Introduction='''Orasians''' are a race of beings in [[Adaris]], born from the coalesced [[consciousness]] of the earth within the realm of [[Terasil]].

|Origins and Nature=The concept of consciousness existing in all things is fundamental to the world of Adaris. In the case of the Orasians, this consciousness within the earth of Terasil began to coalesce over millennia, merging to form beings of greater awareness and intelligence. Orasians are not merely inhabitants of Terasil; they are the earth itself, given form and purpose. Their existence is a testament to the living, breathing nature of the land, embodying the stability, endurance, and slow but inevitable change inherent to the earth. | |Origins and Nature=The concept of consciousness existing in all things is fundamental to the world of Adaris.

Orasians first emerged during the early days of Adaris, as the consciousness of the earth began to awaken to its own existence. Initially, they were massive, towering beings of stone and crystal, reflecting the raw power and stability of Terasil. Over time, as the earth’s consciousness became more refined, the Orasians took on distinct forms that mirrored the diverse geology of their realm. Today, while many Orasians have been reduced in size due to natural erosion, they still possess incredible strength and durability, their bodies retaining the hardness and resilience of stone. | Orasians first emerged during the early days of Adaris, as the consciousness of the earth began to awaken to its own existence.

Orasians are composed of living stone, infused with the consciousness of the earth. Their skin can vary from rough granite to smooth marble, often incorporating veins of minerals and crystals that reflect the unique geology of Terasil. As they age, their bodies continue to evolve, slowly taking on characteristics of the environments they inhabit. | Orasians are composed of living stone, infused with the consciousness of the earth.
