The Lost Ones
The Lost Khanarians are a reclusive people once counted among the Khanarion tribes. Now spoken of only in whispers, they dwell in the deep forests and hidden valleys between the Upper and Lower Tear. Tribes tell stories of cursed blood, moonlit howls, and warriors who vanished into the mists—never to return the same.

The Lost Khanarians are a forgotten splinter of the Khanarions—feared, scattered, and shaped by moonlight and memory.
