Orasian life is structured around harmony with the land, collective resonance, and ancestral cycles. Regional variation exists, but all Orasians share a reverence for geological continuity.
=== Societal Structure === 
Governance is led by the [[Council of Stone]], composed of elder Orasians from across Terasil. The Council meets in the [[Great Hall of Oras]] and governs through resonance-based deliberation.
 
* '''The Council of Stone''': Senior body guiding law, ritual, and land stewardship.
* '''Clans and Castes''':
** '''Guardians''': Protectors of sacred sites and traditions.
** '''Keepers''': Loreholders, educators, and spiritual guides.
** '''Shapers''': Builders and artisans who shape Terasil’s monuments.
** '''Wanderers''': Nomads preserving communication and lost knowledge.
 
=== Religion ===
 
==== Daathir ====
Orasians regard [[Oras]] as the terrestrial emanation of [[Daathir]], the source of form and memory. Each Orasian is considered a node in this shared awareness.
 
==== The Stone Cycle ====
Central to Orasian belief, the Stone Cycle reflects the processes of formation, erosion, and renewal. It shapes:
* Architecture – built to erode and regrow.
* Rituals – align with tectonic and sedimentary rhythms.
* Governance – based on geological patience.
 
==== Religious Sites ====
* '''Gate of Origins''' – Considered the first emergence point of conscious earth.
* '''Stone Sanctuaries''' – Meditative chambers attuned to subterranean harmonics.
* '''The Shattered Pillar''' – A fragmented relic linked to creation myths.
 
=== Language ===
Orathic is a resonance-based language combining:
* '''Chiseled Glyphs''' – Used for permanent records.
* '''Geomantic Resonance''' – Spoken as tonal vibrations felt through stone.
