Hailing from the plains <strong>of</strong> Vitrani the Dremair<br />
are a simple people. Bound to the earth, their<br />
bodies form a symbiosis with crystals which<br />
only form in the nearby mines. These crystals<br />
are as much a part <strong>of</strong> the Dremair as the heart<br />
that beats in their chest. Believed to be the<br />
original creators <strong>of</strong> Resonance, their lives are<br />
bound to their corestones. Living in small<br />
villages, they do not have a government so to<br />
speak, only village councils and one council<br />
which meets only once a year, to discuss trade<br />
routes and the like. The pride <strong>of</strong> the Dremair is<br />
their mines. Only the most skilled are chosen to<br />
work in the fabled crystal mines, which they<br />
defend with their lives. In these mines lies their<br />
source <strong>of</strong> life, their corestones. Of course the<br />
true location <strong>of</strong> the mines is a closely held<br />
secret, only known to those that work in the<br />
mines themselves.<br />
Once a year, there is a coming <strong>of</strong> age ceremony,<br />
where young girls and boys are led blindfolded<br />
to the mines, where they are brought in deep, to<br />
where the corestones form. One at a time the<br />
younglings are unbound and are led through the<br />
caverns, searching for their personal stone, their<br />
own second heart. In this ceremony, they are<br />
bound to their crystal, which comes to life with<br />
them, forever sealing their fate what that <strong>of</strong> their<br />
Dremair<br />
crystal. For some, the crystal binds into their<br />
very flesh, for others, it becomes a talisman,<br />
kept with them at all times. But all are unable to<br />
be parted from their corestone without great<br />
pain. Being bound to a corestone has certain<br />
benefits, as all true symbioses do. The crystals<br />
are ever growing, and they are protected from<br />
plunderers. The Dremair are granted the ability<br />
to resonate, by tuning their crystal with those<br />
prepared for Crystomancy. Also, their crystals<br />
prevent them from being affected by unnatural<br />
sleep. But if their crystals are damaged, they<br />
instantly fall unconscious, their bodies forcing<br />
all their energy to regenerating their corestones.<br />
The Dremair people have pale skin, theory is<br />
that they have spent so much time underground<br />
mining in past generations that their skin lost<br />
pigment due to lack <strong>of</strong> sun. This carries on in<br />
further generations now. Their veins are visible<br />
through their skin; however the veins appear as a<br />
golden color. Their corestones are believed to<br />
give them a long life, the average known age <strong>of</strong><br />
the Dremair reaching 400 years.<br />
