-===The Sundering===
+===The Bleeding===
-Just as the Jastai were finally comfortable with their new home and starting to come into their own as a race, something terrible happened. This event they later learned was called the Sundering. To this day, the Jastai aren't exactly sure what happened. Perhaps the elemental planes also got damaged when Atharen's protective outer layer was pierced. Perhaps Atharen itself called the Jastai back, knowing they would somehow be needed. Either way, for some reason when the Sundering happened the Jastai, found themselves back on the real of Atharen. They weren't exactly happy about that.

 The Jastai quickly discovered their elemental control to be much weaker outside of their respective elemental planes, and it wasn't more than a day before creatures straight from nightmares started attacking them.
-Luckily, the Jastai seemed to be the perfect thing for the situation. Between the general hardiness, they possessed through years of dealing with the natural flora and fauna of their respective elemental realms, their high birthrate, and their devil may care attitude regarding their own deaths, the Jastai quickly made a name for themselves during the post Sundering mess. While some races, like the Awoken, were viewed with extreme prejudice the Jastai were quickly welcomed with open arms. They took on the roles of protectors and began roaming the world in smaller tribes and bands, fighting carelessly and trying to one-up each other for the most outrageous death. Having a batch of Jastai babies abandoned on your doorstep quickly began seen as a good thing.

 While not everyone was perfectly accepting of the race and there was a bit confused regarding how old they were as a race and where exactly they'd come from, generally, their read to help disposition and their friendly nature towards the other races helped them to become quickly accepted in the tough times following their arrival.

 Cycle Bound Jastai are Jastai who managed to free themselves from the reincarnation cycle and then decided that they didn't actually mind it and were perfectly fine staying as a part of this cycle. Cycle Bound Jastai are said to retain the memories of their past lives, and regardless of their death in their current life, can leave the cycle any time they please to join the other Ancestor Spirits. Similarly, they can return at any time. This gives the Cycle Bound a kind of deity-like status in the Jastai community.
-The Dragon Gods are spoken of as though they are (or more accurately were) Cycle Bound Jastai who stopped reincarnating after the Sundering, at least according to the Jastai themselves. They explain that this is how so many different stories can exist about the Dragon Gods all at the same time. Some Jastai, depending on their other beliefs, will either see the Cycle Bound as intrinsically stronger or subservient to the Mistlords. Again, this depends on how the Jastai in question views the Mistlords themselves.

 Cycle Bound Jastai are hard to tell apart from normal Jastai, especially while they're younger. They don't actually start to remember their past lives until they've become a full adult, and even then something needs to actually trigger it for them to remember. It's said that the more a Cycle Bound remembers about a past life, the more their eyes will start to lose their natural luminescence and instead start to look more like liquid. Instead of glowing, the eyes of a Cycle Bound who'd come to fully remember what they are will churn and shift, almost looking molten. The eyes, while predominantly still being a symbol for how they last died, may also display flecks of color which are symbolic to how they died in other lives after becoming Cycle Bound.
