Our Sanctuary: An Orasian History

Introduction #

From Our Sanctuary: An Orasian History
*by Jek-Karun, Elder of the Ninth Voice, Keeper of the Hollow Record_


In the beginning, there was only the deep. Not darkness. Not silence. But depth without shape, stone without name, echo without end.

We do not know where we stood, for there was no standing. We do not know what we were, for nothing had been carved. The world was motionless and vast. It waited.

Cycle Without Break

Cycle Without Break is a renowned Orasian mural series located in the outer archive halls of Mar-Thal. Composed entirely from layered pigment-infused stone dust, the mural is etched into the surface of a basalt wall and spans over twenty-five feet in length. It is considered one of the most enduring artistic representations of the spiritual and geological continuity of Sanctuary Vale.

In the halls of Oras, where the echoes remain,
The voices of ancestors call out again…


Orasian Sculpture

Orasian Sculpture is a monumental, abstract artwork carved into the side of a rugged mountain in a harsh, arid landscape.

A colossal Orasian sculpture carved into the side of a mountain
This surreal sculpture blends geometric and organic forms, depicting an enigmatic figure whose features are obscured by intricate, maze-like carvings. The stone appears ancient and weathered, as if shaped by centuries of wind and time.

Stone Endures, Stone Falls

Stone Endures, Stone Falls #

An Orasian Verse of Time and Erosion #

The mountain stands.
The wind carves.

The pillar rises.
The rain cracks.

The stone speaks.
The silence answers.

The cliff is strong.
The years are stronger.

The river waits.
The wall yields.

Stone endures.
Stone falls.
