Zanarak was formed when the primordial elements of Shasae (wind) and Oras (earth), combined, bringing forth Arenam, the Spirit of Sand and Glass. Unlike the Primordial Spirits, Arenam is the first of the next generation of Ascendant Spirits, emerging from the conscious concept of wind-eroded earth. Arenam represents erosion, illusion, and the ever-changing nature of the desert, symbolizing both destruction and transformation. | Zanarak was formed when the primordial elements of Shasae (wind) and Oras (earth), combined, bringing forth Arenam, the Spirit of Sand and Glass.

The emergence of Zanarak marked a new era in Adaris, one where the interplay between elements created new forms of life and landscapes. The relentless winds carved out the desert from the land once connected to Terasil, leaving behind a vast, arid expanse. Over time, the desert expanded, its dunes shifting unpredictably, swallowing settlements and reshaping itself continuously. | The emergence of Zanarak marked a new era in Adaris, one where the interplay between elements created new forms of life and landscapes.
