Oras
The Foundation
Oras, the Primordial Spirit of earth, embodies stability, endurance, and the physical manifestation of dreams. Born from the chaotic energies of Astram within the Primordial Void, Oras emerged as the anchor of reality, providing a solid foundation for all that exists.
Nature and Influence
Oras is the very ground beneath our feet. It represents the strength of stone, the resilience of the earth, and the force behind tectonic movements. Oras is the embodiment of the physical world, offering stability and structure to the ever-changing cosmos.
Realm
The physical realm of Adaris was shaped when Oras came into being. Oras, in turn, created the realm of Terasil out of its desire for a space of its own. Philosophers often interpret this as a reflection of the intrinsic nature of consciousness to seek a place or home, symbolizing the desire for stability and belonging.
Significance and Worship
Oras is revered throughout Adaris as the provider of sustenance, shelter, and stability. Temples and shrines dedicated to Oras are often built from natural materials, nestled amongst mountains or forests, reflecting the Spirit's connection to the natural world.
Farmers and builders seek Oras's blessings for bountiful harvests and sturdy structures. Those embarking on long journeys or facing difficult challenges pray for Oras's strength and endurance. Communities gather to celebrate the changing seasons and the earth's bounty, honoring Oras's role in the cycle of life and growth.
