The Sociological View

There are several different levels of intelligent life on Eadaë, ranging from the transapient gods to the mortal races, which of course include Humans.  All of these different peoples have had their own histories, sometimes interacting with other peoples, but always developing independently and uniquely.

The Thanalé
These beings inhabited the world long before the coming of the Mother and Father.  Reptilian in nature, they were also quite mortal.  But their fall from self-grace doomed both them and their world.    Page Pending

• Mo Ketseth'ua:  These could be called the ancestral Thanalé, who lived a spiritual existence off of the land.  But time would see them eventually changed to a more materialistic, imperialistic existence.

• Ahngûntha:  The first Thanalé to build up a mighty civilization.  It was they who eventually brought about the fall of their entire civilization.

• C'zicha:  One of the three modern races of Thanalé, and perhaps the most open and commonly seen.

  • T'sunni Nomads:  A society that has changed from hunters to herders, ranging the plains of Amtherias.

  • Y'dar:  A matriarchal society which is highly territorial

  • Habata:  Reclusive society, living for hundreds of generations within the same cliff dwellings.

• Sanshanni:  One of the three modern races, it is also the most primitive, having regressed after the fall of the original Thanalé civilization.

•  Celaë: One of the three modern races of Thanalé, and the most secretive.  They dwell exclusively underground, and are believed to have some relationship with Eadaë herself

Yürtaini'quinil, He Who Is One
This is the One Being, the Creator of the cosmos.  His mind encompasses all that is, and as such there seems that he would have very little interest in a single world.  Page Pending

The Mother and the Father
These are two of the nearly infinite numbers of children born from the thoughts of Yürtaini'quinil.  Unlike all those others, of course, these two are important because they created the world, for all intents and purposes.   Page Pending

• Andur

• Eadaë

The y'Asalla 
These are the gods, the offspring of the Mother and Father.  But their relationships are far more complex than simple sibling ties.    Page Pending

The Eldharin Uncounted
These are the lesser gods, beings that never attained the level of power that the y'Asalla gained, but which nonetheless are far beyond the reach of mere mortal ken.  In time they became loyal to the two camps of the y'Asalla, becoming both angels and devils.   Page Pending

The Aewylin
Born from the Yaurdwali, but mortal, and yet preternaturally beautiful in form and thought and craft.  Page Pending

• Daoine Suesta:  The first of the Aewylin, who served the Yaurdwali te Dwauta.

• Nonduil:  These are the Daoine Suesta, but they renamed themselves after gaining freedom from the Yaurdwali.

• Isadrienduil:  After the fall of the great empire, these are the Aewylin that came to live in the northern mountains and forests.

• Lómérianduil:  After the fall, these Aewylin came to follow the teachings of the Autumn, and moved to dwell in the dark places beneath the Earth.

• Belinduil:  After the fall, these Aewylin traveled across the oceans, and came to live within the living ice of the northern ice sheets.

The Äubrekka
The strong and square race formed by the Yaurdwali and meant to be base laborers.  But time has seen them become craftsmen of unaccounted beauty, and warriors of mighty ferocity. Page Pending

• Soisil:  These are the ancestral Äubrekka, first enslaved by the Yaurdwali te Dwauta.  Even after their freedom, they changed little.  It was not until the fall of their mighty empire that they split into other races.

• Kudu:  These are the Äubrekka who live within the high mountains, dwelling and farming on the slopes, and delving into the peaks for the riches of the earth.

• Thanna'duum:  These Äubrekka abandoned the mountains after the fall, and made the great coniferous forests of the lowlands their home.

• Du'ekka:  An entire race, corrupted by the Autumn.

The Enkidai
The First Born, long ago created by the Mother and Father, and long ago fallen from grace, before even the y'Asalla arose from their infancy.  Only after the fall of the Elder Races did this race once more begin to strive for greatness.  Page Pending
