Essentia

The First Binding


The first recorded Essentia Elementum was Xher Saron, a Qyr who lived in Southern Syf-Cyrona. A devout follower of Orus the Breath, Xher had devoted his life to being a Storm Warden. He had been one of the rare few to ever behold Orus, and was often sought for guidance, wisdom, and protection. When his time had come to die, Orus bound his soul it into a form most fitting a true disciple; an elegant figure of pure, swirling and twisting winds. Xher was no more; Vhul-Iryn, the Southern Gale in common tongue, had been born. He was beautiful and calm to behold, yet deadly and terrifying to those who caused harm to the heralds of Orus.
 * This event was known as the First Binding. It is not known whether Vuhl-Iryn was destroyed, kept in confinement, or if he still roams the land; most records have been lost.

The first known Forced Elementum Binding was performed by Lanir Raen, a corrupted Syndavarian Lord. Lanir believed that through the secret powers of the Broken Realm he could achieve limitless power. Through Bloodwalking and Materium Artistry, he was able to bind the entire population of the ancient city of Darvae to the pure Materium of the Broken Realm. The first Incepta Essentia were unstable, with many flaws, imperfect, yet Lanir saw them as impeccable.
