|Introduction='''Orasians''' are sentient beings native to [[Terasil]], formed from the coalesced consciousness of the earth. As manifestations of stone and memory, they view themselves as stewards of the land. Their society is grounded in principles of endurance, stillness, and slow transformation, which shape all aspects of their culture and worldview.

Some Orasians, known as Ancients, have avoided significant erosion over the ages by remaining in secluded sanctuaries or deep strata. These individuals may exceed 30 feet in height and possess immense mass and stillness. Their forms are almost indistinguishable from natural geological formations, making them both revered and mysterious within Orasian culture.
