The Balleryth are a race native only to Sujira Island, and nowhere else in Anarkand. Their presence is as old as the stone of the island itself, though their true origins remain lost. Standing taller than most humans, their most striking feature is their four-armed physiology, a trait which sets them apart as beings both alien and divine in appearance. Their skin tones range from deep bronze to verdant green, blending with the lush foliage of Sujira, and their eyes glow faintly in the dark with a jade-like luminescence.



Though structurally intimidating in form, the Balleryth are not inherently warlike. They live in tightly bound matriarchal clans, their society structured around reverence for Sujira and the belief that they were fashioned from the marrow of the island itself. To them, Sujira is not merely a ruler but a living embodiment of the divine order — a figure who bridges the mortal and the eternal.



Legends tell that the Balleryth were born from the Sentinel Wells, ancient fissures of power deep beneath Sujira Island where the precursor relics are said to slumber. From these wells came the island’s strange energies, which shaped the first Balleryth into four-armed guardians of the land. For millennia, they lived apart from the wars of Anarkand, guarding Sujira Island’s secrets in silence.



When Empress Sujira was given the island, the Balleryth pledged themselves to her without hesitation. Some whisper it was not loyalty but destiny: their myths foretold of a “Emerald Green Bride” who would unite them with the will of Emperor Radamik. From this covenant was born the GreenGard, twenty of the most devoted Balleryth, selected through ritual.



Even outside the GreenGard, the Balleryth maintain a role as the island’s custodians — tending to its forests, guarding its relics, and shaping their lives around the words of the empress herself. To outsiders, they are ghosts: few have ever seen a Balleryth beyond Sujira’s shores, and fewer still have lived to speak of it. Yet in the whispers of Anarkand’s traders and scholars, the Balleryth are a people caught between worlds — mortal beings, yet irrevocably tied to something older, deeper, and stranger than the rest of creation.
