Karmana

The world on which you live is Karmana but that is also the name of the Goddess of all Life. Garret Nightglade believes that Karmana is a single living organism and that we are merely part of the complex fabric of life that forms the whole. Karmana is worshipped like Mother Earth or Gaia as an all-encompassing creator goddess and it is widely accepted that she is the root of all life in the world, from the smallest plant to the largest creature. The Forge of Life is the catch-all term for the birthplace of all creatures on Karmana. Its location is lost in the mist of legend, if there was ever really a physical place. However, all versions of the old stories agree that the Forge is where Karmana crafted the first of each of the peoples; forming their bodies from the fabric of the world. Finally, she set the stars in the sky as her eyes, to watch over her children from afar. Halflings refer to themselves as the Elvrahüm, Children of the Soil, and you know that Karmana created intelligent life to match every niche of the ecosystem. Most populace were the Children of the Trees (Elvrabor) and the Children of the Rock (Elvradhil). Supposedly the most powerful of Karmana's creations were the first-born, the Guardians, also known as the Elvradrak. Huge flying lizards of great power and great intelligence, it is difficult to imagine how such a thing could ever have really existed.
