The Pari are a race of avian, flower-like creatures descending from the Divine Bird Simurgh, who reside in the Vourukasha Oasis in Girdle of the Sands, Sumeru. They are encountered in the World Quest Series Khvarena of Good and Evil. They consider their God to be Egeria, the former Hydro Archon, who was "stained with corruption" during the cataclysm and whose consciousness lies in the Harvisptokhm.[1]
Overview[]
Pari were created when Simurgh combined her Khvarena with the Amrita.[2] They are the only form of Khvarena that is sentient.[3] Each Pari is said to have a fated responsibility, which they must undertake alone, and live only to serve that purpose.[4]
At the end of their life cycle, Pari turn into Plume of Purifying Light, which are to be returned to the Amrita Pool in Vourukasha Oasis.[5] Pari that have been "tainted" by Abyssal Corruption will be rejected by the Oasis, thus they transform themselves into Fravashi Trees. Humans they have bonded with, whom they refer to as "Yasnapati," are responsible for bringing these lost Pari home.[6]
During the cataclysm, the Pari fought alongside Khaenri'ahn warriors, "a masked sword-wielder and a one-armed sage," and a group of scholars from Sumeru Akademiya, who would later become the Order of Skeptics.[1]
