The Thavariin’s spiritual alignment with Evrelth, the Ascendant Spirit of Emotion, emerged gradually. Oral traditions suggest that Evrelth did not come to them as doctrine, but as a presence—felt in the turning tide, the gut-pull of sorrow, or the euphoric hush before a storm. Over time, rites developed to externalize feeling as a sacred act, with seasonal observances structured around cycles of mourning, celebration, fury, and renewal. | The Thavariin’s spiritual alignment with Evrelth, the Ascendant Spirit of Emotion, emerged gradually.

|Biology and Physical Traits=The Thavariin are physically comparable to other human lineages, though certain traits reflect generations of adaptation to the variable and coastal environment of the Sirel Coastlands. They typically range in height from 5'6" to 6'2", with sturdy builds and agile movement suited for rocky terrain and unpredictable weather. Skin tones vary from wind-burnished bronze to ash-toned olive, with visible freckling common along exposed areas. Hair tends to be red thick and dark, often worn loosely or tied back for ritual occasions. | |Biology and Physical Traits=[[File:Tharavin Male.jpg|thumb|A Tharavin with their distinctive red hair. ]] | ||

Their facial features are expressive and mobile, shaped as much by cultural emphasis on emotional openness as by genetics. Eyebrows, eyes, and mouths tend to show greater motion than in more restrained populations, and social training reinforces this expressivity. Eye colors span from stormy grey and muted green to pale amber, with irises often appearing flecked or ringed in low light. | Their facial features are expressive and mobile, shaped as much by cultural emphasis on emotional openness as by genetics.
