As children of mirages, they embody motion, perception, and the wisdom of shifting truths. The Sunshifters emerged as masters of adaptation, evolving to survive in the harsh desert landscape. | ||
Over time, their deep connection to alchemy, the shifting sands, and mirages led them to develop their distinctive abilities. They believe in harnessing the power of the desert itself, forming a symbiotic relationship with the spirits that dwell within the sands and winds. | Over time, their deep connection to alchemy, the shifting sands, and mirages led them to develop their distinctive abilities.

The Sunshifters were shaped by Sethis, the Spirit of Mirages, who roamed the Zanarak Desert as both trickster and guide. Those who wandered deep into the desert were touched by Sethis, infused with the essence of shimmering illusion and the breath of the wind. The first Sunshifters emerged as beings attuned to the interplay between reality and deception, thriving in the desert's endless dance of light and shadow. The ancestors of the Sunshifters were desert wanderers who discovered that the mirages and illusions of the Zanarak Desert were more than simple tricks of light. Through their nascent alchemy, they learned to interact with the spirits that shaped these illusions, binding them into objects, potions, and even their own bodies. Over time, they developed a nomadic way of life, thriving in an environment that was previously seen as inhospitable. | The Sunshifters were shaped by Sethis, the Spirit of Mirages, who roamed the Zanarak Desert as both trickster and guide.
