Dezolians
Overview of Dezolians
From the dawn of interplanetary travel, Dezolis drew settlers from Motavia whose bio-engineers adapted themselves to live in endless ice. As Algol’s golden age unfolded, these pioneers fused nascent resonance magic with geothermal science to create the Song of the Ice—a living bond between people and planet. Under the guidance of Vel’Zain’s forerunners, Dezolians served as spiritual advisors to Palman rulers throughout the Second Age, their cryogenic libraries and interdimensional rituals shaping early resonance breakthroughs across the system.
That era of cooperation ended when La Shiec ascended and, blaming the Dezolian seers for his personal tragedy, unleashed a purge that drove shamans beneath the mirror-glaciers. Today, Dezolians endure in hidden mirror towns and secret sanctuaries warmed by geothermal vents, governed by matriarchal councils and sustained by the Order of Echoing Frost. Though hunted and scattered, they weave pragmatic techno-resonance with prophetic rites—waiting for the Flame Without Chains to herald their return to prominence.
Appearance
Dezolians average nearly two meters in height, with slender, willowy builds and elongated limbs that lend them an elegant, statuesque silhouette. Skin tones range from icy cerulean to muted emerald, often marked by a small, diamond-shaped sigil at the brow. Their large, slightly luminescent eyes and gently tapered ears reflect both human ancestry and deep resonance attunement.
Clothing favors layered echo-weave robes and cloaks in deep sapphires and teals, trimmed with pale gold or ivory runes. Functional sashes carry crystal talismans and ritual pouches, while dark leather boots guard against frost. Even everyday garments bear subtle auroral patterns, hinting at the living memory encoded within their crystal archives.
