I created an updated title to put in Elehura’s page. I also replaced an old image of Tatyakori with a version cropped from the cosmic shrine scene.

Serii Shrine of Elehura
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 and Perel Kerrow
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:

Salus Mudrah, the Immortal Emperor
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.
An aside: trying out a new logo for Elehura.

Threpel Hessai
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. -
Tatyakori
Divine Dragon, steward of the living world, guardian of the key of life, ancient opponent of the Unliving Evil, teacher of the healing and purifying power, granter of immortal rule, warden of the fallen, vision dreamer.

Miryin
I put some more work into Miryin’s model and tried my hand at Blender’s hair particle system again. You can see a major change I’m trying out here: giving the Felcae race a different lower face, making it more like a Gwil snout instead of a Pritar-like nose. In fact, the old nose was simply copied from a Pritar model and widened a bit. Here’s what that looked like:
The Felcae having facial features closer in resemblance to the Gwil (now adding the snout to the similar horns and ears), as well as the Felcae and Gwil both being herbivore races, suggests they have a closer genetic relationship to each other than to the other races. Note that the Gwil, whose name originates from the term “Dragon Children”, are not a race of reptiles, but mammals that evolved to not have any hair or fur. Felcae have their own genetic anomaly, having evolved to not have mammary glands.
