Parmenos

## ​The Parmenos

The Parmenos are a thinly-scattered culture across much of the known world. They originated in Auroria, like the Dayres, and moved south. As they moved south, tribes would form as groups of people broke off to settle around Trees of Life wherever they were found. Over the years they have spread to almost every major country in Opus, and everywhere they go they bring their unique brand of magic, Fysi.
