|Introduction='''Oras''', the [[primordial spirit]] of earth, embodies stability, endurance, and the physical manifestation of dreams. Born from the chaotic energies of [[Astram]] within the Primordial Void, Oras emerged as the anchor of reality, providing a solid foundation for all that exists. | |Introduction='''Oras''', the [[primordial spirit]] of earth, embodies stability, endurance, and the physical manifestation of dreams.

|Nature and Influence=Oras represents the very ground beneath our feet. It symbolizes the strength of stone, the resilience of the earth, and the force behind tectonic movements. As the embodiment of the physical world, Oras offers stability and structure to the ever-changing cosmos. Through Oras, the solidity of the material world is realized, anchoring the elements and allowing life to flourish. Oras is often viewed as the balancing force that counteracts the chaos of Astram, transforming potential into reality by providing a stable, enduring base upon which all things are built. | |Nature and Influence=Oras represents the very ground beneath our feet.

|Relationship with Other Elements=Oras plays a crucial role in interacting with other primordial elements, helping to shape and define the material realm: | |Relationship with Other Elements=Oras plays a crucial role in interacting with other primordial elements, helping to shape and define the material realm: | ||
* Water ([[Jala]]): Oras and Jala have a dynamic relationship. Water, through rivers, lakes, and oceans, carves paths through stone and soil, shaping the landscape. This interaction symbolizes change and adaptability, showing how even the most solid forms can be molded over time. | * Water ([[Jala]]): Oras and Jala have a dynamic relationship.

* Fire (Tejas): The interplay between Oras and Tejas represents transformation and creation. Fire can melt and forge rock, turning raw minerals into new forms. This relationship highlights the potential for change and growth within even the most rigid structures. | * Fire ([[Tejas]]): The interplay between Oras and Tejas represents transformation and creation.

* Air (Shasae): The influence of air on earth, through wind and erosion, demonstrates the power of unseen forces to shape the physical world. Shasae's continuous impact on Oras reflects the balance between endurance and impermanence, as even the hardest stone can be worn down over millennia. | * Air ([[Shasae]]): The influence of air on earth, through wind and erosion, demonstrates the power of unseen forces to shape the physical world.

* Light ([[Dharas]]) and Darkness ([[Arafia]]): Oras is shaped by the interplay of light and darkness, with the cycles of day and night influencing the growth and decay of life on its surface. This relationship underscores the interconnectedness of all elements, with earth serving as the stage upon which the drama of existence unfolds. | * Light ([[Dharas]]) and Darkness ([[Arafia]]): Oras is shaped by the interplay of light and darkness, with the cycles of day and night influencing the growth and decay of life on its surface.

|Realm=Terasil, the manifestation of Oras's essence, was the first tangible realm to emerge from the chaos of Astram. In its infancy, it encompassed all that was solid—unbroken stone and unshaped land—before the arrival of other elements shaped it further. | |Realm=Terasil, the manifestation of Oras's essence, was the first tangible realm to emerge from the chaos of Astram.

Philosophers often interpret Terasil as a reflection of the intrinsic nature of consciousness to seek a place or home, symbolizing the desire for stability, belonging, and the grounding of existence. | Philosophers often interpret Terasil as a reflection of the intrinsic nature of consciousness to seek a place or home, symbolizing the desire for stability, belonging, and the grounding of existence. | ||
|Osia=The practice of Orasia is a branch of Osia that focuses on the manipulation of the primordial earth element, channeling the power of Oras. Practitioners of Orasia, known as Orasiari, attune themselves to the nascent spirits of the earth, manipulating their energies to shape the physical world. | |Osia=The practice of Orasia is a branch of [[Osia]] that focuses on the manipulation of the primordial earth element, channeling the power of Oras.

Orasiari are able to perform a variety of feats related to the earth, such as moving and shaping rocks, controlling seismic activity, crafting stone tools and structures, and even merging with the earth to travel or hide. This osia is deeply respected, particularly among beings like the [[Orasians]] and the [[Minthari]], who have a natural affinity for earth due to their intrinsic connection to Oras. | Orasiari are able to perform a variety of feats related to the earth, such as moving and shaping rocks, controlling seismic activity, crafting stone tools and structures, and even merging with the earth to travel or hide.
