“Talindras children”, that’s how forest elves, centaurs, fairies & many other magical creatures living in the deep forests of Luslaria are called by man. The elves are not originally from Tarnaris, but from a completely magical island south of the wildest forests of Tarnaris.
They arrived at the beginning of the second era after the humans had already populated Tarnaris. However, not all elves are the same, the humans have found two overriding terms for elves to distinguish them.
Irælia’s zealots are the most devout people in Tarnaris. They have made it their mission to spread knowledge about the different gods and expect humility and obedience. They built their holy city on the highest mountain in Ochax, right next to an active volcano. While the rural population still smiles at this decision decades after the construction of the great cathedral, the heads of the church explain their decision with these words:
“The volcano is the divine arm of retribution.
From the beginning of time, Voris, the god of unlife, attracted desperate souls and power-mad zealots. People who have lost a loved one and can’t live with it, desperate to find a way to bring their deceased partner back to life, and powerful beings who want to empower themselves and and let their battles be fought from the dead bodies of fallen soldiers.
Most of the nations of Tarnaris have declared war on the champions of Voris’ way and their undead servants and forbidden necromancy, but the eastern desert state of Aith has not.
