Orasians are sentient beings native to Terasil, formed from the coalesced consciousness of the earth.

Origin and Nature

Orasians originated as manifestations of the earth's latent consciousness during the earliest epochs of Terasil. Rather than being shaped by external forces, they emerged through the slow convergence of geological memory, pressure, and resonance. Their existence is not the result of creation but of accumulation, layers of sentience coalescing within stone until form and awareness became inseparable.

Orasians are not uniform in shape or nature. Their individuality arises from the mineral composition, geological environment, and temporal context of their formation. Some were born in seismic upheaval, others in tranquil sedimentation. These differences influence not only their physical structure but also their temperament and perspective.

Unlike other races, Orasians do not experience birth or death in a conventional sense. They awaken. Over millennia, they may erode, fracture, or diminish, yet their essence, encoded in resonance and stone—persists. Some eventually return to stillness, merging again with the strata from which they came.

Their nature reflects the principles of Terasil itself: endurance without resistance, form shaped by pressure, and awareness grounded in silence.

Abilities and Osia

  • Earth Manipulation – Limited terrain shaping and construction.
  • Stone Communion – Sensing historical and spiritual memory embedded in stone.
  • Regeneration – Absorption of minerals to repair structural wear.
