Zephiris
The Adamantine Sovereignty of Zephirium
The Sovereignty of Zephiris rules over mountains clad in blue snow, marked by great growths of azure crystals that reach up into the sky. From the mountain’s sapphire summit, a spring births a icy river flow curving around the Crystal Peak shedding sediments along its path that breathe life into crops, before gently winding down through the shallower valley hills at the base of the Mountains, through the First Fortress and out into the plains of Lemuria. The City itself follows the curving path of the river around the middle reaches of the main peak, built into the walls of the valley formed from the watrs that circuit the mountain.
The Zephi Asgar
The Mark of Zephiris is an white blueish pallor like smooth marble, hair the colour of lightning, white shot with shades of blue and ravaging eyes of sapphire fire. The Progeny of those who bear her blood are cool and reticent in their demure. They are cold iron wills fuelled by a belief in their own superiority as her children. Those of particular pure blood sometimes show the faintest of scales, curious reptilian patterns forming subtly in the skin. The Mark has left their skin sensitive to the rigours of the lowland sun, the fogs and mists of their mountain realm have has left their skin unused to the warm glare of the sun. Often the Zephirus will wear careful scales of prized metals, softly adhered to their skin, though the poorest (and many would say, weakest blooded) among them would make do with powdered ores of lesser metals dirty rubbed into the skin. Zephi are also known for an unusual taste in weather, preferring storms, rain and cold temperatures to the usual warmer climes that humanity finds pleasant.
The God Zephiris is commonly held to be the progenitor of the Zephi, through her exact form is lost to time, she was said to be a cunning and patient aspiring goddess, who knew the power of cool vengeance against those who slighted her.
The Magnates of Zephiris
The most importance currency in Zephi society, is blood. The strength of a Zephi’s divine essence is a important factor of stature and power. While other societies have little physical rational behind assignments of nobility, Zephi can quite clearly distinguished based on the strength of their bloodline.
