The Neraics, who inhabited the Garden of Runaral which was consecrated and ruled over by powerful beings referred to as Daevas, were a race of humans who stayed within the garden so that they might live in the prosperity as was given by the rulership of the powerful lords of the Daevas. In accordance to the prosperity that they had been given, they worshipped the Daevas so that they might stay within their grace, enabling their survival in the mortal plane which had also become known to powerful beings of darkness that they would refer to as demons, and whose mortal offspring would eventually be referred to by the exonym of “Archons.” Thus, the Daevas were regarded as beings of light that were closer to mortality through proximity to the mortal plane and whose ideal form was the same of that of the original light of Aion Teleos.

This race of proto-humans were descendants of an ideal form which existed in Andalaris and had since found itself in the physicality of the Neraics as the light poured from above and sought after a shape reminiscent of the ideal. However, the Neraics first distinguished themselves as a wholly separate group by their refusal to abandon the Garden of Runaral as the ancestors of the Ayanics did, and were thus known for their piety to the Daevas of the garden. The Neraics, in the beginning time, were free of the corruption of the darkness as a result of their reverence for the Daevas who had purified the place, enabling the garden which was at once one with the mortal plane and being of the light to remain as a holy stronghold.

The Neraics, who had preserved the worship of the Daevas so that their people might live within their blessings and providence, adhered closely to the strictures given by the Daevas which were thought to have originated from the first being to be of a pure light, with the primeval force being referred to as Aion Teleos. As a result of their acknowledgement of the Daevas as being descendants of the deific ideal forms of Aion Teleos, they worshipped them as some form of messenger of the divine so that they could be bathed in and purified by the original light which they held in high esteem. Thus, as themselves incarnations of a more humble ideal form that had found themselves on the mortal plane, they were also beings of a holy light that were most pure and unspoiled. That is, until the chaos had realized itself as a tempter in order to bring about those of the light into its embrace of a wicked darkness.

After the Neraics’ fall as was caused by the darkness, they initially resumed worship of the Daevas, though having been corrupted in some amount by the entrance of darkness into their hearts through their transgressions against the Daevas’ will. Because of the sin which had found itself within the souls of the Neraics, they began to perceive the mortal world differently than they had before, signaling a subtle and gradual transition to the acknowledgement of the gods of the Daevas to the rule of the beings that would become known as Archons, who had supplanted themselves as divine rulers within the world. Then, the Archons comprised the rulers of the mortal world of Caskaris that had grown to develop seven courts so that they might each rule equally there, and which had developed in imitation of the seven heavens.

The Archons, as they would come to be known, ruled with a great power and authority that necessarily saw to their desires being granted and their justice being laid down, which was considered as a divine act by the Neraics because of their piety to rulers and their kingdoms. Because of the previously observed and subtle transition of the rule of the Daevas into that of the Archons, it is thought that the Daevas had ascended at some unknown time, leaving behind physical, material objects as their reproducible and ideal forms had emerged in physicality wherever they had walked among the world. These forms of the Archons, because of the ascension of the Daevas, were the Daevas’ likenesses that had been inherited by man and had thus become tainted by mortality, having fused with the darkness to create powerful rulers capable of certain forms of magic.

In time, however, the corruption of the Archons would become evident as one of the seven courts had fallen and become entirely rid of all of its orderly light and stasis, which would eventually go on to initiate the fall of the six other courts as their order had become destroyed. The rapid decay of the still present light of the Garden of Runaral that had previously been dispersed and maintained throughout the courts of western Caskaris was then thought to have begun as the darkness proved supreme. Thus, the corruption would spread and those lands which previously belonged to the seven courts would become Moragatha, otherwise known as the Deathlands, instigating many waves of migration from this land to eastern Caskaris, where they would interbreed with the Ayanics as their civilized people would become assimilated into their tribal societies.

The Neraics of the Garden of Runaral, because of the grace given by the light to these pious people, stood at a fairly tall height, not having been corrupted by the advent of sin and disease into their hearts. Because of their height, they were able to be understood by the Ayanics that they belonged to a different ancestry than they who had abandoned the Garden of Runaral, though being relatively more congenial in other components of physical existence. For example, the Neraics also possessed a skin tone of a paler shade, though retaining a warmth within it that was lacking in the Ayanics. The Neraics, who proliferated within western Caskaris, also had found in their race the warm shades of a light brown hair color to a honey blond, while having the potential for a dark blue eye color that notably deviated from the commonly observed pale blue eyes of the Ayanics that was also prevalent in the peoples of the garden.
