Hallajin

Hallajins, described from ancient legends as the lights of Hallas, are intelligent, inscrutable beings of pure energy native to the Liavaran moon Hallas.

History

Hallajins once had material forms but developed beyond the need for them and became energy beings as part of an intentional cultural drive to reach collective godhood. It's unknown if they deliberately stopped at their current state or couldn't progress further.

Hallajins were once believed to be strange lights in the sky of Hallas until discovered to be living creatures capable of telepathy. When emissaries from Arkanen tried to communicate with hallajins, their minds seared, causing a magical cordon to be established around Hallas. It continued to be administered by Pact Worlds officials from Arkanen to protect visitors from the hallajins, until the wards suddenly disappeared in 324 AG with the Birth of the Newborn.
