You\u2019ve been raised to revere and protect the natural world, and to shepherd the tumultuous elemental forces that give it life. When the elements threaten to overwhelm the delicate balance of nature, it is the role of the Ashari to restore harmony.\r\n[in]You grew up in a tight-knit society, bound to a leader who successfully returned from the traditional journey to the Elemental Planes known as an Aramante. By contrast, you might well have never traveled more than a few days from your home, and thus have closer bonds with your family and neighbors than many people of Tal\u2019Dorei.[\/in]\r\n[in]In your early life, you likely took up one of the many roles that make up your society, whether homemaker, hunter, explorer, or protector. If you have the ability to use elemental magic, you might have had one of the most important duties of all: protecting and soothing the elemental rift at the heart of your home. And even as an adventurer now traveling far beyond that home, your loyalties still lie with the continued safety of your order. Whatever else you do as you learn about the new world around you, you\u2019re conscious of the need to gather allies to your cause.[\/in]\r\n[in]Each Ashari is tethered to one of the four elemental orders and their settlements. You must select Pyrah (fire), Vesrah (water), Terrah (earth), or Zephrah (wind). The rifts of earth and air are both in Tal\u2019Dorei. If you live or lived among your people, then you are familiar with the remarkable sights of Air Ashari on Skysails above the Summit Peaks, or Earth Ashari erupting from the solid stone of the Cliffkeep Mountains on their Earthboards[\/in][\/quote]\r\n[h1]Features[\/h1]\r\n[li][b]Elemental Harmony[\/b][\/li]\r\nGrowing up surrounded by wild elemental magics has attuned your senses to those chaotic forces, enabling you to subtly bend them to your will. As an action, you channel minor magic involving the element of your chosen Ashari order, giving you one of the following abilities:\r\n[ul]\r\n[li][b]Pyrah[\/b]. You instantaneously create and control a burst of flame small enough to light a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. Alternatively, you snuff out a flame of the same size.[\/li]\r\n[li][b]Terrah[\/b]. You instantaneously create a small rock no larger than a gold coin. The rock appears in your hand, then turns to dust after 1 minute.[\/li]\r\n[li][b]Vesrah[\/b]. You instantaneously create enough hot or cold water to fill a small drinking vessel.[\/li]\r\n[li][b]Zephrah[\/b]. You create an instantaneous puff of wind strong enough to blow papers off a desk or mess up someone\u2019s hair.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n[h1]Suggested Motivations[\/h1]\r\nThe Ashari hold themselves removed from the rest of Tal\u2019Dorei by their own choice. This makes many Ashari naive to the ways of the world beyond their homes \u2014 but it can also make them determined, steadfast, and tightly focused on their goals. Ever since Keyleth, Voice of the Tempest and leader of the Zephrah, became a world-renowned hero, the Air Ashari at least have become more familiar to Tal\u2019Dorei\u2019s other peoples. They are known to welcome outsiders to their mountaintop enclave, and to take on quests that force them to leave their isolated home.\r\n[br]\r\n[spoiler][table][tr][th]d8[\/th][th]Personality Trait[\/th][\/tr][tr][td]1[\/td][td]I like to keep my hands busy, no matter where I am.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]2[\/td][td]I love to explore new places and meet new people.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]3[\/td][td]I meditate at dawn each day \u2014 and I can\u2019t stand it when my routine is interrupted.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]4[\/td][td]I like noticing patterns in the world around me, whether or not they mean anything.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]5[\/td][td]I don\u2019t let anything \u2014 or anyone \u2014 stand in the way of my mission.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]6[\/td][td]I\u2019m a plain talker, even with people who outrank me.[\/td][\/tr][tr][td]7[\/td][td]I\u2019ve always got some of my native element with me in some form.
