      1. Teru Stone: Created by Zaeru, it lies deep within the Terumisian mountains.
      2. Tribes: Also known as "sprites". There a number of elemental, flora and fauna tribes. Each tribe represents an element, or a species of plant or animal (including insects). They embody the what they represent in human form. They do not have wings like other Celestians (except for bird and flying insect types). Commonly the working class (but not second class), they live (and love) to work with their creature, plant or element. They live about 70-80 years like other humans.
             The exception to that are the animal type tribes, they live as long as their animal counterparts. For those who represent solitary animals, there is one person for each animal kind of like a familiar spirit for it; for those that travel in groups, one family stays with the group. The insect type tribes are small in stature, they could easily be mistaken for fairies, especially butterfly and dragonfly types.
             Although the Celestian Empire rules, the wild lands truly belong to the sprites. Travelers, upon leaving a settlement, must announce themselves and their destination(s). This helps ensure safe travel (sprites and their creatures are will not attack). Sprites are also a good way to send a message indirectly, by telling the message to one sprite who will in turn tell another who tells a third, and so on, until it reaches the recipient. Word spreads quickly among sprites. It's surprisingly fast, and unlike humans, they're very good at remembering and retelling. They were the first to know of the Maiean scouts. Alas, no one asked, so they did not tell; that was until it was too late and invasion was inevitable.
             There is a sad story of a man--rose type--who wanted something different than gardening the mayor's roses so he ran for mayor, he won and was quite popular but he was so miserable because he did not have time to tend to the rose garden. He died of a broken heart being away for them. Hence the reason the tribes stay in working class, if he had been an animal type it might have been a little easier or they both would have died, their bond being very strong.
