The Arzoon
The Arzoon also known as “The Grand Craftsmen” serve Berlak, The Fire Keeper as his emissaries and missionaries on the surface, in addition they also aid Berlak in tending and caring for “The Spark”.
Information:
While many of The Soulscape’s races have some form of creation story, The Arzoon are a special case as they simply just appeared within cities and towns one day and conducted trade with the locals, and to the surprise of almost no one The Arzoon were viewed as "freaks” and “abominations” so the locals drove them from their communities and forced them into the wilds of The Soulscape. Fortunately this all changed during “The Long Day of Mournful Cold” when Berlak, The Fire Keeper disappeared for a time and The Soulscape was plunged into cold icy darkness without the aid of The Spark, seeing this The Arzoon still emitting heat and light flocked to the communities that had once banished them to offer warmth, light and hope above all else. Even after their selfless aid during that period the various peoples of The Soulscape grew to love The Arzoon, in addition they even began to admire them as their crafting skills aid in advanced of The Soulscape by a long way providing it with fantastical weapons, curious robotic servants and inventions so unique it made The Lord of Darkness himself jealous.
In terms of appearance, The Arzoon are extremely large as well as hunched omni pedals that can stand anywhere from 10ft to 40ft tall, Due to their natural habitat being caves, The Arzoon have rough black skin that is no so dissimilar from coal, interestingly the skin also works as a shield against environment obstacles likes sharp rocks, spiked vines and the like, as well as a shield against more “mortal made” dangers like bullets, lasers and even rockets. Quite possibly The Arzoon’s most famous feature is their “flame hair” as it emits heat but doesn’t seem to ignite it’s surrounds unless The Arzoon allows it to, most Arzoon develop this flaming hair when they reach maturity and while there is no physical pain, most Arzoon described the process as “someone setting your entire immune system of fire”. Interestingly, all Elder Arzoon possess a massive armoured clamp upon their right wrists which seems to glow the same fiery orange as their hair, it is believed that these clamps are gifted to Arzoon that Berlak, The Fire Keeper favours the most as The Elemental Brother is then able to use these clamps to see through the wearers eyes.
In the modern age there are actually just as many Arzoon in the galaxy as there is in The Soulscape, and they have become a welcomed member of the galactic community as most stay within Unity Space fixing, building and even help improved various creations. After The Unity Council and The Order of Howling Moons created safe passage between their respective realms, The Arzoon were among the first to cross and fulling come to terms with life outside of their respective realm, but with this is related to simply curiosity or perheps a plan of The Fire Keepers remains to be seen.
