|Introduction=Arenam, the Spirit of Sand and Glass, is an Ancestral Spirit born from the merging of Oras, the Primordial Spirit of Earth, and Shasae, the Primordial Spirit of Air. Unlike the original Primordial Spirits, Arenam is part of the next generation of spiritual beings, emerging as a conscious force shaped by the interaction of elements over time. Arenam embodies erosion, illusion, and the constant transformation of the desert, shaping the ever-shifting sands of the Zanarak Desert.

|Introduction=Arenam, the Spirit of Sand and Glass, is an [[Ancestral Spirit]] born from the merging of Oras, the [[Primordial Spirit]] of Earth, and Shasae, the Primordial Spirit of Air. Unlike the original Primordial Spirits, Arenam is part of the next generation of spiritual beings, emerging as a conscious force shaped by the interaction of elements over time. Arenam embodies erosion, illusion, and the constant transformation of the desert, shaping the ever-shifting sands of the Zanarak Desert.

|Nature and Influence=Arenam represents the power of the desert—destruction and renewal, permanence and impermanence. It is the force that wears mountains down to dust, yet also the hand that sculpts dunes into breathtaking formations. Unlike Oras, which provides stability, Arenam embodies the futility of permanence, showing that even the strongest structures will crumble under the passage of time and wind.

|Significance and Worship=Arenam is revered as both a trickster and a teacher, a spirit that challenges mortals to embrace impermanence. It does not demand devotion but rather an understanding of the nature of change. Survival in Zanarak is seen as proof of one's alignment with Arenam’s wisdom.

Line 37:

* The Mirage Trials – Young warriors and scholars alike seek out Arenasiari to undergo illusion trials, proving their ability to distinguish truth from deception.

Some see Arenam as a force of chaos, while others recognize its wisdom. It does not preserve, nor does it destroy—it simply reshapes. This duality makes Arenam one of the most enigmatic spirits in Adaris.

|Philosophical Interpretations=Arenam’s influence extends beyond the physical and into the realm of philosophy and enlightenment. Many scholars and mystics reflect on the lessons of Arenam:
