The Creation of the Tirava

Life, Supernatural

How the Tirava came to be.

In time, Brê got lonely and wanted to create something that could love xer back. So, xe asked Kê to help xer sprout the Tirava from the branches of the trees in the forests near the Glass Desert. Kê agreed to help under the condition that the Tirava would be a peaceful people. Soon this forest was full of Tirava, which is why it is now called the Tirava Forest or Tirava'tira, "forest of the tree people."   The Tirava were large creatures in the beginning, but have evolved differently as they have spread across Toh'ren. In the modern era, some tribes are only 10-11 feet tall (such as the Ice Shadow Tirava and SNOWMOUNT), whereas it is said some are so tall that their heads skim the treetops! (like the Tirava'rkhea and the Channel Clan).   Wanting to speak to her creations, Brê asked Lii to give the Tirava a voice, but Lii had only done this for animals, and wasn't practiced in speech-gifting yet. This is why the Tirava speak in single words and short sentences. Brê then requested that the others bestow their gifts on the Tirava, which they did, making the Tirava a species that is powerful, wise and patient, but also stubborn.
