Earth Genasi

Civilization and Culture

History

Earth Genasi, known as Terra'quessir in Elvish, are a planetouched race born from the union of humans and Daos or beings from the Elemental Plane of Earth. They embody the strength, resilience, and steadfastness of the earth, making them one of the most sturdy and dependable of the elemental-touched races.   The creation of Earth Genasi can be traced back to ancient times when powerful or dao (earth genies) mingled with humans. These unions often occurred in mountainous regions, deep forests, and underground settlements. The offspring of these unions inherited the elemental traits of their rocky ancestors, giving rise to the Earth Genasi.   Earth Genasi culture is heavily influenced by their elemental heritage. They are often drawn to regions with significant geological features, such as mountains, caves, and mineral-rich areas. Their societies are typically structured and stable, mirroring the enduring and dependable nature of the earth.   In many Earth Genasi communities, strength and resilience are highly valued. They are known for their skills in mining, masonry, and crafting, particularly with stone and metal. Their affinity for the earth makes them excellent builders, architects, and protectors of natural landscapes.
