History
The Moroi carry with them the longest history of any known race. While the Hyr'Norai were the first people on Atharen, extensively tracing their ancestry back nearly 5000 years ago, the peoples of the Outlands can cling to stories that span much further back. It is said that the Moroi initially evolved on the planet Kornos three hundred thousand years ago, diverging from a more primitive species of horned, gremlin-like people, hunched over and crude. The more poised and intelligent products of their evolution slowly began to spread and in time, came to rule Kornos as its leading race.
Kornos was a planet primarily consumed by jungle, with occasional plains lying in-between, beautiful coasts and tall mountains. The Moroi quickly settled into the valleys of their planet at first, whichever they could find around rivers and lakes, before eventually expanding to settle the mountains themselves. Learning to build terraces on high structures, and to travel between their high peaks through complex tunnel and bridge systems, they slowly mastered their world over time. It is said by the living scholars of their race that this expansion of knowledge is what drew the Adac to them, an interstellar species of immense arcane depth. Masters over reality, formers and shapers of the environment surrounding them, some of these Adac found the Moroi home and made contact with their race.
The Adac immediately left behind a tremendous mark. They introduced materials foreign to the planet of Kornos, and helped the Moroi build the greatest wonder of their world, the Keminalis. A massive telescope colored black and gold, the structure was capable of peering out even beyond their galaxy, staring through and beyond the dark unknown. As the Moroi learned of space, they began to understand how their own world worked. Theories blossomed, scientific concept becoming the core of their society. From the beginning, they had always loved viewing the vast beyond. It became a singular goal of their race to go as far enough as to be able to explore it. And that meant growth, and change.
