| The two ancestral groups of proto-humans do not have a name, and it is without this identity that they exist to humans. Accordingly, they are acknowledged as more abstract entities, spoken of only in mythological word throughout their descendants. However, both groups would eventually face some sort of calamity, either instigated or allowed by the divine, which would punish them and bring an end to the sacrilege promoted by the evil of these ancestors. Thus, the survivors of calamity are thought of as blessed, being as they continued to exist by the grace of the gods in an era which was wrought with a certain destruction. This era happened variously and with disparity among the two groups, with one believing that divinity itself had punished them, and the other that the darkness had supplanted itself among them. Accordingly, this led to two disparate viewpoints on the nature of both the light and the dark, and further differentiated them from each other in regards to culture and belief. The survivors of both groups, however, regarded the punishment as necessary and a holy act, supporting their distinct perceptions of the light and the dark.\\ | The two ancestral groups of proto-humans do not have a name, and it is without this identity that they exist to humans.

| The two main peoples which share a certain amount of physical features among [[planes:aurius:caskaris:start|Caskaris]] are the [[races:humans:caskaric:iluayans:start|Iluayans]] and the [[races:humans:caskaric:varayans|Varayans]], thought to have belonged to and surrounded a northern stronghold of light which worshipped beings they called the [[pantheons:class:daevas|Daevas]], meaning nobility. Among this race of proto-humans, the Daevas were acknowledged as divinities, who were thought to have earlier descended from the heavens to further supply some order to the world. They were notably invoked within their rituals, and thus, worship of them proliferated as they had proven their power and use to these humans. Notably, however, there were some of these humans that could not perceive the Daevas, and thus found themselves worshipping spirits who inhabited the worlds of mortality. This blindness would come to spread throughout the east, thereby supplanting a chaos there that the Daevas could not penetrate into. This schism would lead to the identifier of the [[races:humans:caskaric:neraics:start|Neraics]], those conscious who resided within the Daevas' grace, and the [[races:humans:caskaric:ayanics:start|Ayanics]], who were of the body, both of which being the ancestors of the Iluayans and Varayans.\\ | The two main peoples which share a certain amount of physical features among [[planes:aurius:caskaris:start|Caskaris]] are the [[races:humans:caskaric:iluayans:start|Iluayans]] and the [[races:humans:caskaric:varayans:start|Varayans]], thought to have belonged to and surrounded a northern stronghold of light which worshipped beings they called the [[pantheons:class:daevas|Daevas]], meaning nobility.

| The Ayanics were tribal and primitive, lacking the worship of more advanced beings and instead, their worship was predicated by the phenomena of animism. Thus, they relied on totems to acknowledge their gods, found within the animals which inhabited the mortal plane. In these ancient times, [[pantheons:deities:Viora|Viora]] was acknowledged as a powerful goddess whose aspect inhabited within the earth and allowed for the proliferation of forest in their land through her power. [[pantheons:deities:Lirela|Lirela]] was also acknowledged, and it was through her that the springs could exist which indubitably granted life to the earth through her very blood of freshwater. The worship of [[pantheons:deities:Vindaric|Vindaric]], the king of sky and air, found itself sanctioned by their people as well, thought to have given them their very breath and allowed for the seeds of fertility to propagate themselves into the world.\\ | The Ayanics were tribal and primitive, lacking the worship of more advanced beings and instead, their worship was predicated by the phenomena of animism.
