Race: Ephyran
The Ephyrans stand as the smallest race on Aesor. Blessed with innate agility and a burning curiosity, they harmoniously coexist with the myriad of creatures within the Mezataan Jungles. The Ephyrans are born with the Elemental Host of Nos (Air).
Their skin, akin to the vibrant foliage of their environment, bears testament to the season of their emergence into the world, an enchanting link some claim influences their very essence. This fascinating correlation is believed to extend even to their distinct personalities, shaping their interactions with the world around them.
The majority of Ephyrans reside within secluded jungle villages, however, marcritic academies and cities of wonders can also be found among the foliage of the jungles. Their unity is invoked by the blessed notes of the Hollow Chant, compelling them to gather in common purpose.
Remarkably, Ephyrans reach maturity at a mere 16 years of age, embarking on a journey that could span as long as three centuries.
Physical Description
The Ephyrans have seamlessly integrated their forms with the natural world. Their physique, although humanoid, carries a distinct natural twist. This deep connection with the Nh’áhrean resonates through their entire being, from their appearance to their way of life. The Ephyrans exhibit an exquisite and natural appearance that reflects the cycles of their environment. Their coloring is notably influenced by the season of their birth. Those born in summer adorn themselves in verdant hues, echoing the lushness of leaves. Spring-born Ephyrans embody the charm of flowers, donning delicate pinks and vibrant greens, and so on.Origins
The history of Ephyrans traces back to the Year 145 of the First Age A.A., when their naturalistic presence graced the realm of Aesor. Just like their fellow races, the Ephyrans are said to have originated from the godly hands of the Óhin, who deftly utilized the nurturing embrace and balance of the Nh'áhrean, the embodiment of Mother Nature. However, the intricacies of this creation remain shrouded in mystery, with historical accounts providing only fleeting insights into the Óhin's work. Scholars and academics have long speculated on the origins of the Ephyrans, often drawing parallels between them and the Arkey, not only in terms of anatomy but also in mentality. This has led to a tentative hypothesis that the Óhin fashioned the Ephyrans as a distant brotherly race to the Arkey, though this theory lacks conclusive evidence. Despite these uncertainties, the Ephyrans have embraced their unique existence within the collection of Aesor's races, carving their own place in the world with their agility, wisdom, Marcry skills, curiosity, and connection to their verdant surroundings.
