Oranythi
“The horizon is a promise waiting to be proven.” — Explorer Aven Sar
Overview
The Oranythi stand at the boundary between civilisation and the unknown.
Descendants of settlers who refused to retreat from Mana storms, they embody curiosity and perseverance.
They consider themselves mediators between faith and discovery.
Magic & Leyline Affinity
The land of Oranyth is riddled with Mana anomalies; many children develop minor resonance.
Their scholars study these safely, creating the Frontier Institutes that rival Cezoran academia.
Oranythi Conduits see no divide between magic and science — to them, both are languages of light.
