Vel'Karis

The Vel'Karis are a group of people which Factus Formis claims to be a a citizen of. He described as "A country, an empire, a land". According to Factus, not all the people are of the same appearance as Factus, though some are. Apparently, the leader of the Vel'Karis is Praeteris. Factus claims that they were "everywhere" in Duloris, though all of their cities have since vanished.
Factus was apparently aware of the existence of a "Princess of the Vel'Karis", but upon the discovery of a so called "Prince of the Vel'Karis", was confused, claiming to not be familiar with it.
The Princess of the Vel'Karis was revealed to be Claudia, daughter of Praeteris and Stelli'Aris. She is currently the only non-Formis member of the Vel'Karis that has been seen.
According to the map drawn by factus, their capital was called "Etreidies". Other locations listed by him were the cities Gresidua, apparently located where Westbrooke now stands, Lotavora, Star Crest, Vel'Morlus, Norevis, Ashpointe, and Ironstar Tower.
=== History of the Vel'Karis ===
Group Alpha learned the history of the Vel'Kari people after viewing The Wall.
Ages ago, the Vel'Kari "Ascended".
They were lead by Praeteris, who soon took Stelli'Aris as his wife.
They allowed magic to flourish, and brought their people closer together.
They created the Formis, a new people, to protect the Empire.
They fought against Tiamat for 12 long years, and won.
Praeteris brought the Vel'Kari to a new realm in a second ascension.
Many were bitter at their forceful relocation, including Claudia, who rebelled.
A long civil war was fought, with Praeteris & his loyalist forces succeeding.
Claudia was locked away for one hundred years, but the surviving rebels spared.
Praeteris created a new land for them to live on, to the south-east.
The only way to walk among the ascended once more is to wield "The Helm" at Ironstar Tower.
