Ashari

The hidden city of Selant in the Tanolain Delta was originally founded by Arali who wanted to the Devastation, against the wishes of their brethren, for magics that they hoped would reverse the damage to the land.

Over the centuries since they settled there, the Arali have changed and been warped by the tainted waters flowing down the Tanolain River. Their distance from the Devastation has helped them survive, but the changes have been wrought, and the Elves can no longer be called Arali. Approximately 100 years ago, they renamed themselves the Ashari, the grey ones.

This is an apt title for them as their skin has a greenish-grey cast to it, and they have adapted in ways that allow them to survive better within the Devastation. A few even have weakened versions of the same abilities held by the Aberrations.

The Ashari still scour the Devastation looking for forgotten magics. However, they are no longer trying to find them to reverse the Devastation, but just to hoard and use the magics for themselves.
