|Introduction=The Thavariin are a human-descended people native to the Sirel Coastlands, a rugged and temperamental region of cliffs, mists, and restless tides along the western edge of [[Orethil]]. Known for their open emotional expression and highly ceremonial culture, the Thavariin view feeling not as a private experience but as a shared language of memory, transformation, and release. Their society is shaped around cycles of mourning, joy, fury, and quietude—each granted space within public life. | |Introduction=The Thavariin are a human-descended people native to the Sirel Coastlands, a rugged and temperamental region of cliffs, mists, and restless tides along the western edge of [[Orethil]].

Spiritually, the Thavariin are aligned with Evrelth, the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of Emotion. Evrelth represents the entire range of human feeling, both ecstatic and despairing, and is believed to manifest in the sea’s shifting mood, the silence of low mist, or the cry of gulls across wind-cut cliffs. Through this influence, the Thavariin have developed a worldview in which emotional truth carries more weight than tradition or permanence. | Spiritually, the Thavariin are aligned with [[Evrelth]], the [[Ascendant Spirit]] of Emotion.

Unlike more reserved cultures, the Thavariin make little effort to conceal their inner states. Anger, grief, love, and awe are openly expressed in both daily life and structured rites. While their customs may appear volatile to outsiders, their internal systems of emotional ritual, symbolic attire, and communal balance offer a stable and enduring framework for collective identity. | Unlike more reserved cultures, the Thavariin make little effort to conceal their inner states.
