Ashari

Culture

The Ashari are, for the most part, insular, living in remote areas and only occasionally interacting with the outside world or even each other. The tribes are mainly made up of genasi as the people protecting the rifts got slowly infused with their respective elements.

In their role as guardians of the Elemental Planes portals, the Ashari have developed deep connections to their respective elements that influence each Ashari's culture.

Aramenté

Once in every generation, in each of the four tribes, a member is chosen to set out on an Aramenté, or "Noble Odyssey". During this journey, this Ashari member seeks out each of the other tribes and ventures through the portals they guard. Upon completion of this journey, the empowered Ashari member's lifespan increases significantly and becomes the elemental master of their respective tribe, and the elder retires. The person chosen for an Aramenté is usually a druid or nature cleric
