| The Vaathari people are an elven race native to the continent of, in the mortal tongue of its inhabitants, [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]], a defining landmass inhabited primarily by the descendants of the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:ethetia:start|Ethetian peoples]]. They rule the portion of Ethrekas known by its inhabitants as [[:tradarda|Tradarda]], as, in centuries prior, they drove the majority of the human population into the barren and infertile deserts, the barren wasteland being referred to as [[:grecyda|Grecyda]]. Because of their location, they were able to continue with the practices of magic which had been gifted upon them by their gods, furthermore enabling the succession of powerful beings which might better rule over them. | The Vaathari people are an elven race native to the continent of, in the mortal tongue of its inhabitants, [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]], a defining landmass inhabited primarily by the descendants of the [[races:humans:ethrekasan:ethetia:start|Ethetian peoples]].

| ==== Origins ==== | ==== Origins ==== |
| The Vaathari race once belonged to the same kind of being as the [[races:elves:neiara:start|Neiara]], who descended from the lesser [[pantheons:class:cephareth|Cephareth]] of [[planes:aurius:arethayn:start|Arethayn]]. In becoming the Vaathara, they adopted worship of the [[pantheons:class:valdaen|Valdaen]], powerful [[pantheons:class:novya|Novyi]] entities who inhabited within the void of darkness that could then preside over the matters of their people as a result of their summoning. Together, the three gods of the Valdaen, which include [[pantheons:deities:moravir|Moravir]], [[pantheons:deities:arovaera|Arovaera]], and [[pantheons:deities:eluvoris|Eluvoris]], taught them to be better than and overcome the darkness, and rather than the primordial absence causing them to slip into death and unknowing, they would instead be reborn within it. Regardless, the unity of thought and culture that the Valdaen instigated among the Vaathara caused them to develop increasingly dominating and persevering personalities who attempted to establish their own rule among the mortal world, and in time, they ejected the mannish peoples from the land which they would call [[:regaayn|Regaayn]] and thereby forcing them to live in the deserts of the west. This transition signaled the beginning of the new people, the Vaathara, who would easily become more common as the members of the Neiara turned to the new gods for sustenance and a more evolved concept of purity. | The Vaathari race once belonged to the same kind of being as the [[races:elves:neiara:start|Neiara]], who descended from the lesser [[pantheons:class:cephareth|Cephareth]] of [[planes:aurius:arethayn:start|Arethayn]].
