|Introduction= | |Introduction=The Domain of Oras, also known as the Last Bastion of Oras, is said to be the remnant of the once boundless physical realm governed by the primordial spirit of earth Oras. Now confined within the [[Citadel Mountains]], it is regarded as the center of the world and the final fragment of the original land that once extended endlessly across existence. | ||
|History=According to mythic accounts, the world of Oras was the first domain, composed entirely of the physical realm. When the other primordial elements emerged, their arrival began to erode this eternal land. The process accelerated with the rise of the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of Time, Kyros, whose influence introduced decay and change. | |||
The resulting conflict, known as the [[Great Erosion]] War, marked the struggle between Oras and the encroaching forces of the new elements. To defend the physical realm, Oras created the Orasians, beings said to embody his enduring essence. Despite their efforts, the war ended in retreat, and both Oras and the Orasians withdrew within the Citadel Mountain Range. | |||
It is said that Oras then shaped the Citadel Mountains into nearly impassable barriers, concealing his final refuge. Legends claim that the Orasians remain within these circular mountain massifs, preserving the last essence of their creator. | |||
|Geography=The internal geography of the Domain of Oras remains unknown. Scholars and explorers speculate that it consists of vast, featureless plains of solid earth, untouched by erosion, wind, or rain. The terrain is believed to be entirely stable and unchanging, reflecting Oras’ dominion over the physical and immutable. | |||
|Climate=The climate of the domain is uncertain. Due to the presumed absence of water and atmospheric elements, it is often described as hot, dry, and still. No weather phenomena are thought to occur within its boundaries. | |||
|Inhabitants=The [[Orasian|Orasians]] are believed to be the native inhabitants of the Domain of Oras. Their current status is uncertain; some traditions claim they continue to dwell within the Citadel Mountains, while others hold that they have long since vanished. Regardless, they are regarded as the final creations of Oras and the last guardians of his essence. | |||
|Cultural Significance=The Domain of Oras and the surrounding Citadel Mountains hold enduring importance in [[Duranthi]] mythology. The Duranthi people revere Oras as a foundational force of creation, and their traditions often reference the Last Bastion as a sacred, forbidden center of the world. Though no Duranthi have entered the Citadels in living memory, they continue to venerate the domain through ritual and legend. | |||
|Mythology and Legends=In many accounts, the Domain of Oras itself is considered partly mythical. The Citadel Mountains have been mapped, and it is known that a vast central region lies within them, but no expedition has successfully entered or returned from the interior. | |||
It is believed that at the very heart of the domain stands Oras’ own dwelling: the first fragment of earth ever formed, untouched by time, erosion, or any elemental influence. This place is said to embody the original, uncorrupted substance of the world—a testament to the enduring will of Oras. | |||
