A path into the holy mountain Elehura leads to this strange monochromatic place. It is home to the divine dragon Tatyakori, and according to them, this place is also the source of the water that covers the living world. In the deep past, Tatyakori found their way from a dry planet of rock and dust into the Unliving Place. They awoken something within the triangular tower at the center, causing water to begin pouring from various fountains. Over millions of years, this river’s output transformed the world outside into a vibrant living one.
The material that the Unliving Place is composed of is naturally indestructible, requiring powerful magic to quarry and reshape. The difficulty did not deter the dragon’s creative spirit, and over time they made alterations in the Unliving Place to record various events and ideas.
Two major additions are memorials to the events of Sheshai the Purifier (seen in the previous post) and of the ancient individuals Pagol of the gwil and Muchi of the pritar. The picture above is of that latter memorial. The bridge represents the crucial alliance that formed between the gwil and pritar people, which started with these two individuals. The two were also early masters of healing and elemental magic.
There is a shrine located in the Unliving Place hidden within the holy mountain of Elehura, built to commemorate the deeds of Sheshai the Purifier. The individual in the picture is not Sheshai herself, but a sort of ‘spiritual echo’ to represent the hero in a place of honor.
This scene is based on the original drawing of the character that would eventually become Sheshai:
Located within the holy mountain of Elehura, the Serii Shrine contains an effigy of Pagol, a healer from ancient times and representative of divine grace for the gwil people. Tatyakori, the divine dragon and steward of the living world, stands upon the stage shaped as Pagol’s tail, appearing to be confronting the viewer. The four-pointed sun symbol as seen in the roof opening is the sigil of Tatyakori and what lies hidden deeper within the holy mountain.
Miryin Skytamer, felcae master of the bow and wind magic. A member of the Order of the Eclipse. She is in fact named after the Miryin from the Sheshai the Purifier story, which took place generations before Elehura. Most felcae names are gender neutral. The wind magic she uses can also be considered a form of telekinetic power. She most famously uses it to fire arrows with incredible range and accuracy.
Perel Kerrow, suyen master of water magic and another member of the Order of the Eclipse. They wield a pair of knives called the Seasingers. They are famed for their ability to move through the water as fast as the swiftest fish.
Oh, and suyen are tiny and felcae are big. For comparison, Seros on the right is six feet tall:
Gifted with immortality and the Totem of Authority by the divine dragon Tatyakori, Salus Mudrah was given the task of bringing greater order to the world. His “nation of nations” and the Great Houses founded under his reign brought forth a golden age of peace and progress.
However, the historians recorded that the power he held eventually consumed him and the great peace was threatened. Then one day he departed his capital in a furious rush and disappeared. He would not be seen again for centuries. But before that, there were some that heard whispers in their minds, unknowing pawns of this lost ruler.

Hessai, the Unliving Evil that hunts the living and plagues the world of the Elehura and Sheshai the Purifier stories. According to legend, it was once just a singular being but learned to become many and take on different forms. Its instances always have common traits, though: dark gray skin, eight “limbs” (though these could manifest to appear as horns or ears), and a singular red eye.
Threpel Hessai are the most common of the Hessai variants, and the closest resemblance and size to the anthropomorphic races.
