Airis

The religion of Airis was brought to the world of Rathnir with its people who have to this point been simply called the Airisians. The history of their race is long as it stretches far before the time they journeyed to the land of Rathnir, and their lore/religion has more depth than other religions in the world of Rathnir. Though their race has only been in the world of Rathnir for a short period of time their history this period is also packed with stories to tell.

Opening the Gateway
The Airisians do not originate from the world of Rathnir but then where did they come from? The story goes that they came from a world called Waracons though it is said that Waracons is not their world of origin, but how did they travel from Waracons to Rathnir? It is all because of a man by the name of Dell Airis Dalatrani, this is the story of how the Airisians came to the world of Rathnir.

Dell Airis Dalatrani had just moved to the city of Kordania in the Astyllean Sea. Kordania had just declared itself independent from the High Kingdom of Yimmu-Audal and after some tense moments and both sides preparing for war Yimmu-Audal backed down and Kordania was technically a free nation though Yimmu-Audal would dispute the claim.

Dell Airis Dalatrani
Dell Airis Dalatrani was a Rivfiana, if you've never heard of that race before it's because it's rare as hell and it's currently thought that Dell is the only one. A Rivfiana is a humanoid type being born from the world of Rathnir himself, they have a great love for nature and life in general. Dell would be given his full name at birth; it was like a random thought so he would always go by that name.

Born in the forest of southern Haven he would grow up in the forest and eventually when he was older began to travel around the world and eventually ended up in Yimmu-Audal there he became a priest of the Hukar Sharud Faith and then became mayor of a town called Duloc. Dell soon grew to dislike the way Yimmu-Audal was run by its leaders who mainly relied on allies and other powers to keep YA afloat and after being removed from the mayorship of Duloc due to government changes he would join Kordania who were attempting to become independent from Yimmu-Audal who was under the Certarian Empire.

Revelation
After the Kordanian independence Dell would get a house in Kordania and stay for a while, he would often go outside the city towards the border between Kordania and Tálor and sit in the green fields of grass and meditate to clear his mind of troubling thoughts and to deepen his connection with the world. During one of these meditations something would happen and according to Dell this is what occurred.

Dell would begin meditating one day and as he sat in the fields the setting sun shined on the grass which gently blew in the calm winds which blew the smell of salt water from the Astyllean Sea into Dell's face. As he sat there, Dell began to feel light as if he was floating and soon the sounds of the wind and ocean began to dissipate until he couldn't hear anything.

Opening his eyes, he found himself not in the field he was just in but floating in the empty void of space. Millions of stars surrounded him and there were what looked like clouds of many colors, orange, purple, blue, green, etc. Dell was amazed at what he saw as he had of course seen the night sky before, but it never looked like this.

Something caught his attention, out of the corner of his eye he saw what looked like feathered wings, then again, she saw a shadow but this time he saw the full creature it was a phoenix it flew around him in circles before it flew down Infront of him but then it seemed to disappear in the mist. a few seconds later Dell could see something coming out of the mist where the phoenix had landed.

It was a beautiful woman dressed in a plain white dress comes out of the mist, her skin was pale and hanging from her neck was a necklace with a purple gem in the shape of a phoenix, she had hair that was a mix of blue and purple that flowed like a gentle river down her back and waved gently as if there was wind.

Dell begins to feel a slight amount of fear as the woman gets closer and he tries to back away. "Do not be frightened, Dell", says the woman, her voice is calming and gentle but the voice echoes loudly, Dell begins to mumble religious chants, "Dell, I am no god, simply a creator. I am Airis in my language it means lover of life".

Dell realizing, he couldn't get away he decides to go with it. "How do you know my name?", he asked, he began to feel calmer around Airis and less afraid as her voice was calming.
