The Lost Race of the Shanah

The Shanah were the firstborn race, created by the Sentinel in the early days of the world. They were a proud and powerful people, blessed with great strength and intelligence. They resembled humans but were fiercer and had the power to bend the elements. They moved in hordes and despite their primitive nature, recent findings dictate that they had developed quite a civilization. However, their luck turned for the worse when the Great War broke out between the gods, the Sentinel, and Nedel. The Shanah were caught in the middle of the conflict, and many of them were killed or forced to flee their homes.
During the Great War, many of the Shanah migrated east of the Crater, in the hopes of escaping the wrath of the gods. However, they were not safe there, as a powerful spell cast by one of the gods turned a huge Gulf into a dry desert, killing or trapping many of the Shanah. Others fled to the east and north, hiding in the mountains of Exotia to escape the destruction. A number of them were also in the west when the Cell was formed, but the Amber killed or mutated many of them during the First Age. During the 4th century AC, the Shanah fought against the Dragons in Miasel and were slaughtered, while some managed to sail to the Veiled Lands to the west.
Today, the Shanah are a nearly extinct race, scattered and struggling to survive in a world that has turned against them. Their once-great civilization is nothing but a distant memory, and the few remaining Shanah are forced to live in hiding, always looking over their shoulders for fear of being hunted down by their enemies. Despite their unfortunate fate, the Shanah's legacy lives on in their advanced civilization, and their power to control the elements still fascinates scholars and adventurers alike.
