The Hel-Born are a race of humans evolved to withstand the unforgiving heat and molten landscapes of Helenir, the vast underground realm of Lucis. With hardened, crimson skin immune to even the deadliest waves of lava, they live among lava streams and burning lakes, their daily lives forged in fire. Prominent horns, once used in primal battles for dominance, and wings that early Hel-Born used to escape the magma during their evolutionary rise, mark them as both powerful and otherworldly. Feared by many on the surface for their appearance and strength, the Hel-Born carry a deeper story — one of survival, resilience, and endurance. Shaped by suffering and isolation, they are a people hardened by heat but not without hope — and many dream of a day when they will walk freely in the world above, no longer burdened by the legacy of their struggle.
