Miryin Skytamer, felcae master of the bow and wind magic. A member of the Order of the Eclipse. She is in fact named after the Miryin from the Sheshai the Purifier story, which took place generations before Elehura. Most felcae names are gender neutral. The wind magic she uses can also be considered a form of telekinetic power. She most famously uses it to fire arrows with incredible range and accuracy.
Perel Kerrow, suyen master of water magic and another member of the Order of the Eclipse. They wield a pair of knives called the Seasingers. They are famed for their ability to move through the water as fast as the swiftest fish.
Oh, and suyen are tiny and felcae are big. For comparison, Seros on the right is six feet tall:
Gifted with immortality and the Totem of Authority by the divine dragon Tatyakori, Salus Mudrah was given the task of bringing greater order to the world. His “nation of nations” and the Great Houses founded under his reign brought forth a golden age of peace and progress.
However, the historians recorded that the power he held eventually consumed him and the great peace was threatened. Then one day he departed his capital in a furious rush and disappeared. He would not be seen again for centuries. But before that, there were some that heard whispers in their minds, unknowing pawns of this lost ruler.
It’s not a complete list of characters from my stories, but these are the characters that have an “official” 3D model at this time.
Unaffiliated Characters:
Kethil – An aquatic race intended for Elehura but as of yet not officially part of the story.
Serii – An early Agwilika Rhe character, back when they had vestigial wings.
“Forest” Gwil – Just a character made on a whim.

Hessai, the Unliving Evil that hunts the living and plagues the world of the Elehura and Sheshai the Purifier stories. According to legend, it was once just a singular being but learned to become many and take on different forms. Its instances always have common traits, though: dark gray skin, eight “limbs” (though these could manifest to appear as horns or ears), and a singular red eye.
Threpel Hessai are the most common of the Hessai variants, and the closest resemblance and size to the anthropomorphic races.
Divine Dragon, steward of the living world, guardian of the key of life, ancient opponent of the Unliving Evil, teacher of the healing and purifying power, granter of immortal rule, warden of the fallen, vision dreamer.
I put some more work into Miryin’s model and tried my hand at Blender’s hair particle system again. You can see a major change I’m trying out here: giving the Felcae race a different lower face, making it more like a Gwil snout instead of a Pritar-like nose. In fact, the old nose was simply copied from a Pritar model and widened a bit. Here’s what that looked like:
The Felcae having facial features closer in resemblance to the Gwil (now adding the snout to the similar horns and ears), as well as the Felcae and Gwil both being herbivore races, suggests they have a closer genetic relationship to each other than to the other races. Note that the Gwil, whose name originates from the term “Dragon Children”, are not a race of reptiles, but mammals that evolved to not have any hair or fur. Felcae have their own genetic anomaly, having evolved to not have mammary glands.
Seros is a member of the Gwil Fire Clan, a rare subgroup of his race with red skin and markings reminiscent of flames. He was sent by the Order of the Eclipse to investigate reported disturbances in the holy land of Elehura. He is accompanied by his sister Nuzoko on the journey.
The Order of the Eclipse is a special organization founded through a collaboration of the Great Houses. Its members specialize in multiple disciplines of the Houses. For instance, Seros trained in monster slaying from the House of the Shield and magical abilities from the House of the Eye. Nuzoko loves to tease her brother for specializing in fire-based magic.
Seros is old-school. It is going on 25 years since I conceived the character. And yes, I have a copy of what may very well be the first drawing I made of him:
I guess I’ve made some progress on my skills over the years…
In the Elehura mythology, Tatyakori is the legendary Dragon that resides in the hidden holy land within the mountain of Elehura. No other Dragons exist in the world and very few have actually met her in person, yet her image can be found in most cultures in various forms. Her purpose is not entirely clear, but there is a belief that she is responsible for protecting the hidden paradise from evil.
As said, very few have met the Dragon in all of history, but the most important were the trio of humans that found their way into the hidden land. Each was offered a holy artifact which also granted them immortality. With those gifts, the three created an empire which spanned the globe. The emperor was ultimately consumed by his power, and became so dangerous that the other two returned the artifacts in exchange for the emperor’s removal.

This latest change to the character was the first time I applied the dark coloring to the outer eye instead of the usual white. Similar races like the Gwil/Agwilikans are going to get this look too. The previous version of the character concept:Speaking of updates, I also adjusted the information on the Elehura Main Page while I put the new picture of Tatyakori in there.
The purpose of the orb she has resting in their horns is… undetermined.
In 2022, I updated the spelling of the name from Tatyakore to Tatyakori.
Slyvette is a long existing character of mine, originally part of the storyline called “Silver and Gray” (which was originally “The Gate War” because I was probably a middle schooler and terrible at naming things). Lately it looks like that project is going to be canceled. Well, more like consumed by another. At one point, Elehura was set to take place in Silver and Gray’s past. Now, elements of S&G being integrated into Elehura, including Slyvette here.
The latest 2D design of Slyvette, drawn in Inkscape.
Slyvette is renowned for her fighting skill and her ability with lightning magic. She belongs to a holy order of soldiers based in Elehura. Like other members of her order, she’s become suspicious of the people now leading the city, and things got so tense that she and and a clan of her fellow Pritar fled to the wilderness. Now the clan’s leader, she has recently set up camp in the forests of the western region of Elehura.
Sorry you’re not an immortal angel anymore, Sly. It’ll probably make you a more compelling character, though.
