Oram Character in Teryn | World Anvil

Oram

Oram woke after Lumina, and benefited from having three teachers to help him understand his gifted knowledge and teach him their own. But Oram, though wise and intelligent, didn't care for the complexities of rūn or the philosophy of civilization. He knew his siblings understood these things, and appreciated that they taught him, but he allowed them to thrive in their ways. For him, his calling was the stone. Oram felt the world around him like no other and could almost instinctively find veins of ore and stratifications of rock.   He developed the material known as ithomish, stone-water, a material that could be mixed and poured into form like a liquid but then hardened into stone. The Teryn's later called this material and the construction method used opus caementicium.   History records him as a hard-working and efficient man, more focused on the logistics and infrastructure of their growing civilization than on 'ruling' over people. Indeed, he was widely known for his generosity and charity, so much that the Shegid virtue is named for him and follows his example. He possessed the Ushgēd item known as Edtash, the harvester, and unlike his siblings, he freely allowed anyone to use it for the asking.   He founded the city of Orahal, which became a major trade hub and industrial center and a smelting pot of Shāmalta culture.   His name was lent to the metal gold, known in Teryn as aurum.

Artifacts

Edtash: a pickaxe similar to the later Teryn dolabra, a tool used for many functions, including mining and excavation or as an entrenching tool. Though the most humble of the Ushgēd, it was the unsung hero of the set. Lumina enrūned it heavily, but Oram didn't ask for that. He allowed her to do so because it made his sister happy. Legends speak that wielding it allows a person a fraction of Oram's innate sense of stone and metal, and excavation with it is as easily as getting a bucket of water from a fountain.
