The Era of Isolation (c. BME 80,000-95,000) refers to the formative period in the history of Orethil following the realm's initial creation. It is defined by the absence of external elemental influences, during which the realm remained geologically untouched. This period laid the foundation for the emergence of the Yairanians and the development of Orethil's early physical identity.
Geological Context
Following the formation of Orethil from the chaotic substance of Astram by the primordial spirit Yairan, the realm existed as an infinite, unchanging expanse of solid stone.
Cultural and Spiritual Development
During this time, the first stirrings of consciousness emerged from within the stone itself. Fragments of Yairan’s awareness gradually coalesced into sentient forms, the Yairanians. These beings were vast and slow-moving, often compared to mountains in both scale and temperament.
Environmental Isolation
The Era of Isolation is notable for its total lack of the other elemental influences that define much of the Adaran cosmology. Tejas, Jala, and Shasae had not yet emerged within Orethil, allowing for a purely earthbound order.
