During the creation of Anaias, The Foundry created the Seladar Quessir, Elves infused with and bound to the primordial essences of the elemental Mana Stones, each to their kind. For the binding of Stone, the elemental essence of Ya, came Kerym ath Nar, the Sword. For the binding of Flame, the elemental essence of Ful, came Daoin ath Uskeche, the Star. For the binding of Water, the elemental essence of Vi, came Fhaor Hinue ath Alus, the Storm. Lastly, for the binding of Wind, the elemental essence of Oh, came Suor Arrn ath Keth, the Song. The four Firstborn would be the founders of nations and traditions that would reach throughout the centuries.

From Daoin ath Uskeche came the nation of the Wardens of the Flame, the Uskeche. This culture of nomads wander the lands of Urngor, often rotating stays between their cousin nations, volcanic calderas, hot springs, and open deserts. They view their sacred charge is to pay homage to the elemental essence of the Stone of Ful, ensuring the elemental power does not unnecessarily overwhelm any given place. Their chaotic nature gives them a bit of a negative reputation in some communities, but these attitudes are generally baseless and largely undeserved.

After the Time of the Shattering, the Uskeche carry the lament of the loss of the Nar Tirith in their hearts. The strife of the loss of their cousins bore a heavy cost with the Uskeche, bearing an unwavering hatred for those unnatural creatures and forces that had destroyed their kin.

Fhaor Hinue ath Alus, known as the Storm, channeled the element essence of Vi, binding the Alus Soeh to the coasts and rivers, bearing the title Dwellers of Streams. Their towns became sanctuaries of healing and meditation, guarded by the vigil of their protectorate Stormwardens. The Alus Soeh maintain harmonious relationships with other communities across Urngor. Many of their clerics and druids serve as teachers, healers, and spiritual advisors in various settlements.

After the Time of the Shattering, the Alus Soeh inherited lands of their slain kin, the Nar Tirith, which had been corrupted into the Athlialarûn, a foul marshland teeming with grotesque monstrosities. They have vowed to cleanse the land of its corruption, dedicating themselves to this sacred task.

Suor Arrn ath Keth, the Song, embodying the essence of the Wind and the Stone of Oh, founded the nation of the Keth, or Wind Walkers. They established their communities atop the southern Spireshard Mountains living among the fixed and orbiting fragments of the peaks. Defying the extreme conditions, they cultivate agriculture and have a unique mastery of animal husbandry. The Keth share their knowledge and insights with all communities they encounter, fostering harmonious relations.

In the aftermath of the Time of the Shattering, their mountaintop holds became a refuge for displaced peoples across Urngor, offering solace and protection.

From Kerym ath Nar came the nation of the Nar Tirith, the Swords of the Stone Towers. A proud culture of warriors inhabiting the lands of the Bloodthorn Fens in the mid-southern region of Urngor. Their strongholds were defended with military might and cunning traps. Their arcane arts were infused with the very essence and guidance of the Stone of Ya. During the Time of the Shattering, their homes were savaged by the forces of destruction unleashed upon the land. Despite their heroism in the countless battles erupting throughout their lands, most of the Nar Tirith were slain. The remaining survivors went on to wander the world of Anaias, concealing their heritage to prevent their total extinction.

In the Second Age, most Nar Tirith are met with either severe distrust for the rumors of potential traitors, superstitions of ill omen from their appearance, or disbelief as many believe there to have been no survivors of the nation after the Time of the Shattering.
