The Ashari

Overview

The Ashari are an ancient order of druids and elemental guardians who have maintained vigil over the rifts between the elemental planes and Exandria since before the Founding. Each of the four Ashari tribes is responsible for one rift — air, fire, earth, and water — and their entire civilization is built around that guardianship.

The Ashari were historically aligned with specific Prime Deities — the Wildmother and Dawnfather chief among them — but their actual function predates divine patronage and does not depend on it. The rifts they guard exist regardless of whether gods are present.

Their settlements — Zephrah, Pyrah, Terrah, and Vesrah — are the last intact remnants of their civilization.
