| - | The Mirari race of elves were known for their elaborately carved cities of stone that held fantastical chambers of magic within, being an advanced elven race. They were also known to have been a reclusive yet ambitious people, as evidenced by the various sacrifices they made of mortal flesh and blood to strengthen their own energies. Their people are largely recognized as an intelligent, | + | |
| - | ====Origins==== | + | |
| - | The Mirari people are descendants of elves who, in an age long since forgotten, fled Arethayn as members of the ancient Neiara to found a new country where no masters ruled, only long afterwards emerging as a separate race with a particular focus on the ambitious principle of achieving permanent immortality for them and their descendants and thus, godhood, using the souls of the mannish races to do so. They settled the tropical and arid regions of the southern portion of the continent of Ethrekas, populating these areas and building their sacrificial altars within their elaborate cities’ walls in order to trap the souls within. It was these cities that were known to be labyrinthine and shrouded in the mystery of discovery and knowledge as they had constructed them with this intent, meant to be unnavigable to the mortal kind native to the lands they inhabited. | + | |

| - | Their culture revolves around the truth of their divinity as elves who are superior to the mannish races that inhabit Ethrekas, believing that the members of this mannish race are not worthy of any life except for being sacrificed and their souls absorbed from them. In truth, they recognize the mannish races as little more than objects meant to satisfy their desires, subjecting them to great, perverted acts of cruelty as they are considered by these elves to be the offspring of mortality and unsophistication. This belief is known to be shared by their cousins, the Vaathari people, as they both consider their elven blood to be pure and untainted.\\ | + | |

| - | Another aspect of their culture is their acknowledgement of the ultimate progenitors of both the force of light, Aion, and the force of darkness, Azythys, as they have uncovered that these cosmic entities are omnipresent within every being through their methods of experimentation and the development of the arcane. The arcane magic celebrated by their culture is known to channel these raw and potent powers by the method of uncovering them from within, allowing the user to possess some fragment of the raw ability of Aion and Azythys themselves, enabling a superb and potent manipulation of the structure of the world of Aurius as the original beings were capable of such deeds. Though the raw energies of these beings are found within the Mirara, there remains the potential cost of assimilation into these forces as the channeling of power imbues within them their primeval consciousnesses. For this hazard, many of the Mirara are instructed in these novel arts of magic by their elders, their wisdom being passed down to the young in an endless cycle so that they might eventually achieve apotheosis.\\ | + | |

| - | As they aim to ascend into the immortality experienced by the original ancestors presented by their mythical genealogy, the Mirara perceive the physicality of existence as the very circumstance which binds them to the realm, longing to become spirits once more and thus, no longer possess the frailty of an accompanying corporeal form.
