TALE

A fanatic of the Elmdera’s greatest and most gifted beings, Chio grew up aspiring to become a Wanderer. His grandmother sewed him a Wanderer costume to support his self-written plays about the adventures he would’ve gone through had he been a Wanderer. Unbeknownst to Chio, he would be one... but not in the way he’d expected. An Elmderian often received their Wanderer-gifts right after birth, but there were those who bloomed a few years after. Some even decades! Chio discovered his gift when he rendered himself invisible in a game of hide-and-peek.Mentored by the great Giorgath, Chio expanded the limitations of his gift, learning how to create colossal structures and short-lived creatures invisible to the eye. No one could ignore the vastness of his gift... not even those deemed the greatest.There are those in the Elmderian community who have proclaimed Chio as the Qodah, one of the greatest Wanderers of all time, of his generation.

OTHER WANDERERS

Often written as a myth while living a true life by the waves of the Lirva Sea, Giorgath wandered the shore and distant waters all day and night to keep an artifact hidden in the sea safe from a pair of powerful criminal-Wanderers who had been stealing artifacts across the realm during his time.The Elmderian Council of Wanderers commissioned Giorgath as the Lirva Sea’s guardian for many knew of the gifts he wielded. He could render himself invisible at night, shapeshift into Elmderian sea animals, and call the name of the waves. Those who dared to steal the artifact of the Sea faced thunderous whirlpools and enormous sea beasts soaring from the depths after the echo of Giorgath’s voice.Unsurprisingly, no one was ever successful in their sea theft during Girogath’s time. As a remembrance of his might in the waters, Elmderians renamed the Sea after Giorgath, calling it Gior Sea.

Long before the death of the Second Starsmith, Iyer the Sole Ascendant sealed a red, flaming comet with masses of energy that would be granted to a future Wanderer who would witness the comet’s passage in the sky and whose power could handle its intensity.Four centuries later, the comet slashed through the black night. Edior, the then apprentice of Viago who excelled in the art of sun-wielding, witnessed the comet’s fall, and as the tale went, the comet sensed Edior’s potential as a vessel for the energy it bore. Accordingly, it gifted him with the extraordinary ability to distort the shape of time and access Iyer’s Everlight, granting him seamless travel across different timelines.Edior gained a reputation for sealing criminals in time loops, but in a battle against a time-jumping Wanderer, he sealed himself together with the criminal in a timeless reality, trapping themselves outside of time.

Rumored to possess the galactic capacity of the first Wanderers, Aigala came to be known for her natural affinity with affection and her status as a prodigy under the tutelage of Bolida. She surpassed the expectations of Elmdera’s leading Wanderers, earning distinction for her ability to command and manipulate the weather-spirits of the skies with her self-made staff.In her quest to summon a surge of water from the far oceans in the drought-stricken outskirts of Pilora, Aigala felt the pain and sorrow of the ill and the grieving around her, feeling their emotions deeply as if it were her own. Moved, she decided to use her power to lull the ill to sleep, rendering them numb from their pain before oblivion slowly pulled them away from the crowd of life.She cradled them with the gentle howl of the rain and comfort, ensuring a peaceful and painless exit from the realm.
