Genasi

Genasi are elves native to Gladragar, who are connected to the land in both spiritual and physical aspects. They’re often devout followers of Magnus and Elvyn. They tend to form small insulated societies when in other lands in an attempt to preserve their beliefs. The Genasi and Cathawyn of Gladragar have a confrontational relationship, due to the Genasi seeing the Cathawyn’s worship of Geth as blasphemous. In Genasi society, they live alongside elementals as equals, forming a symbiotic relationship with them, believing them to be holy vessels of Elvyn himself upon Fell.

## Appearance

## History & Society

Genasi evolved from ancient elves after travelling to Gladragar. The elemental energies of the land infused with the elves, changing them over time and giving them a unique connection to the forces of nature. Genasi society is quite divided in terms of culture and language - often living in mostly homogenous groups of one type of genasi - however they are all united under the Divine Enotita Dynasty. The Enotita Dynasty has ruled Gladrager for all of recorded history. This royal family is an incredibly rare and unique breed of Genasi, embodying all four elements. As such, all genasi believe their ruling Emperor or Empress to be either a fragment of Elvyn or Magnus' soul, or that their bloodline is directly blessed by both gods. As such, they are worshipped by many within their empire as living gods - a reputation they certainly live up to. Many genasi within the Enotita bloodline are capable of great magic. Many have been known to tear mountains from the land and turn them into floating islands, change whole biomes with a snap of their fingers and control the weather from mere thoughts alone.

Throughout genasi cities and settlements it is a common sight to see full elementals mingling amongst the elves. They are regarded as equals in their society and are treated as such. Some of the most ancient and powerful elementals sit on the imperial council as advisors to the current Emperor or Empress. Often times the elementals will live alongside genasi of their corresponding element, however it isn't a particularly rare sight to see elementals amongst genasi of another element, Often times this is because the elementals are aiding the genasi with specialised tasks such as construction or landscaping.
