Before the flight of the Harani, I would have made a declarative statment that the simple ball was an item that had spread across Breharan. Now however, seeing it appear in another place by a very different people, I find myself thinking that the creation of the ball in each culture is all but inevitable.— Takalia, Folk Stories of Grara
The Toy of Many Games
A ball can be used to play many different games, to practice throwing, or for the purpose of showy entertainment. All across
Breharan children play with the most prolific toy ever created.
Games are played with rules restricting which body parts, if any, can touch the ball - hands and feet only are the most common because of the ways balls have been made for most of recorded history.
A Classic Design Reimagined
Balls are often created from leather or other animals products and filled with commonly available materials like dried grasses. Heavier fillings are used if it serves the purpose better. For balls intended to be interacted with using tools instead of body parts, wood is a common choice.
For untold generations the
lizardfolk have been creating solid balls from a material that comes from a special type of tree in the jungles of their homeland. These balls possess unique qualities that seem to bestow them with the power of the wind.

Mechanical Uses
As more and more advanced contraptions have been created, balls have seen more and more use outside of the field of recreation.
These are more difficult to produce as they must be often be made in large quantities, out of metal, sometimes very small, and within a small margin of error in size and shape.
"The number of games you can play with a ball is limited only by your imagination."
