Eleman

With the revelations around the Lasting One and their formation by Arkyme’s founders, the eleman have been forced to come to grips with their place in the world. The Lasting One having been attuned to the Scions, as the Prime Magister Ekko Phydel had used the Scion secrets of Creation to unify the elements and allow the Lasting One to form. Ultimately, the Lasting One had given their essence to the Elementyne Stone and had used this power to raise Arkyme and bear it on its passage across the Divide for near 300 years. Yet, with the Sundering, the Scion of the Hour’s demise, the Lasting One’s form on the prime was undone, and the elemental energies scattered once more to the planes.

For the eleman, all that the Sundering unveiled brought about a long nascent change. As the essence of the Lasting One had been a union of the elements and the return of that essence to the planes, quieted the elemental turmoil and power of the Divide. This also manifested in the eleman that experienced renewal outgrew their smaller forms they had once taken on. As well as those eleman that shared in their renewal gave way to the union of their elements. As ash, dust, frost, magma, silt, and vapor eleman came to form. From these unions of elements and the disparate eleman uniting, it was the Elemental Divide that now stood to be joined with them.

Though diminished in its power, the Divide still had to be claimed by the Eleman, as they were forced to carve out places for themselves amidst the elementals that had run amok across the terrain. In the years following the Sundering the four kinds of those now known as the Sole Eleman created dominions for themselves within the Divide, where those of joined elements now known as Union Eleman began to spread at the borders of the Divide. From these endeavors as a people rose the Elementyne Union, where all eleman could dwell free of the troubles that abound in the places of other peoples.

The Elementyne Union has taken a strong hand in the matters of Arkyme as well, each fourth year, they send an elder from amongst them to represent the Eleman on the Arkyme Council. Though most have come to terms with Arkyme’s connection to the Lasting One, some eleman have taken a far more hardline stance in choosing to protest Arkyme’s use of such elemental power to keep the city and its shards aloft.
