	More than any other [[Qurilissi]], an Ort's revival is treated as a miracle rather than a discovery. Pulling a living person from open lava, or watching stone crack open to reveal breathing flesh, tends to leave witnesses instantly and permanently more devout, whatever they believed walking in.

	The [[Ort Qurilissi]] (Homo Elementalis Ignis) are the catalysts of the world, the divine spark that transitioned [[Otan]] from a static creation into a living, moving reality. In the foundational ages, they were said to number in the tens of thousands, a vast workforce charged by the gods with the monumental task of setting the universe in motion. By commanding the three elements of Energy, Lightning, [[Fire]], and Light, they provided the thermal and kinetic impetus required for life to flourish. Every rising sun, every crack of thunder, and every flickering flame in a hearth is considered a distant echo of the work once performed by the Ort.

	The power of an [[Ort Qurilissi]] is one of pure radiance and combustion. They do not merely manipulate heat; they embody it. A seasoned Ort can transform their very cells into arcs of electricity or pillars of living flame, moving with a speed that defies human perception. Historically, they were the engineers of the world's momentum, ensuring that the winds blew, the tectonic plates shifted, and the hearts of living creatures began to beat. Their mastery of Light allowed them to banish the primordial darkness, carving out the first days and nights of the world.		The power of an [[Ort Qurilissi]] is one of pure radiance and combustion.

			Like every [[Qurilissi]], the Ort are physically indistinguishable from baseline humans, giving no outward sign of the elemental fire dormant in their cells. A resting Ort could pass unnoticed in any crowd on [[Otan]], right up until the moment they choose otherwise.

			Their discovery is unlike any of their cousins'. Some are found floating alive and unharmed in open lava, drifting through molten rock as easily as a swimmer treads water. Others are recovered from lava that has long since cooled and hardened, entombed inside solid stone until it's finally broken open. Rarer still are those pulled from the calderas of underwater volcanoes, delivered from a furnace that should have no business existing beneath the sea. Whatever the method, once freed they revive as an ordinary-looking human, carrying no memory of the fire that once held them.

			Their command of Fire, Electricity, and Light can manifest anywhere from a simple resistance to heat to a full transformation into arcs of lightning or living flame, moving at speeds that defy human perception once fully awakened. Many also develop an instinctive "heat-sense," a feel for thermal energy that lets them track a heartbeat, a hearth, or a distant volcanic vent long before it's visible.

			More than any other [[Qurilissi]], an Ort's revival is treated as a miracle rather than a discovery. Pulling a living person from open lava, or watching stone crack open to reveal breathing flesh, tends to leave witnesses instantly and permanently more devout, whatever they believed walking in.

			That reaction often finds a ready-made outlet in the cult of [[Baelcwene]], [[Otan]]'s deity of Fire and Lava. An Ort's fiery rebirth near an active volcano is the kind of sign [[Baelcwene]]'s faithful have been waiting their whole lives to witness, and more than one Ort has found themselves adopted less as a person than as living proof of their rescuers' devotion.

			Because the rescue always happens at a volcano, whoever already lives, works, or worships there, miners, fire-cult adherents, or in rarer cases the deep-sea [[Brimaelf]] tending an underwater vent, becomes the Ort's first and only community. From there, the same wide range of archetypes shows up among the Ort as any other strain: [[Warlock]]s and [[Wizard]]s who bend flame to their will, [[Brute]]s who leave smoldering ruins behind them, [[Bard]]s who somehow turn catching fire into showmanship, and [[Shaman]]s who keep company with fire-loving creatures like the Firebird.

			The one Ort whose story breaks this pattern entirely is the lone survivor rumored to have been kidnapped and carried across the sea during the Great Erasure. Recovered only recently after two centuries of exile, she returned to [[Otan]] not amnesiac but resolute, driven by a vow to find and awaken every Ort still buried and waiting.

			[[Un]]like their cousins, an Ort cannot simply settle wherever their rescuers happen to live. Their nature pulls them back toward active volcanism, and a homeland without one will eventually stop feeling like home at all.

			This means Ort populations, however sparse, cluster wherever [[Otan]] still has fire in the ground: active volcanic peaks, hardened lava fields, and the rare underwater calderas hot enough to sustain one. An Ort separated from that connection doesn't simply adapt like a [[Suu]] or a [[Jer]] might; more often, they move on, drifting from volcano to volcano in search of the one place that will finally hold them.

The [[Ort Qurilissi]] (Homo Elementalis Ignis) are the catalysts of the world, the divine spark that transitioned [[Otan]] from a static creation into a living, moving reality. In the foundational ages, they were said to number in the tens of thousands, a vast workforce charged by the gods with the monumental task of setting the universe in motion. By commanding the three elements of Energy, Lightning, [[Fire]], and Light, they provided the thermal and kinetic impetus required for life to flourish. Every rising sun, every crack of thunder, and every flickering flame in a hearth is considered a distant echo of the work once performed by the Ort.

The power of an [[Ort Qurilissi]] is one of pure radiance and combustion. They do not merely manipulate heat; they embody it. A seasoned Ort can transform their very cells into arcs of electricity or pillars of living flame, moving with a speed that defies human perception. Historically, they were the engineers of the world's momentum, ensuring that the winds blew, the tectonic plates shifted, and the hearts of living creatures began to beat. Their mastery of Light allowed them to banish the primordial darkness, carving out the first days and nights of the world.

Despite their once-staggering numbers, the [[Ort Qurilissi]] became a ghost-strain following the Great Erasure. For over two hundred years, not a single individual of this type was known to walk the lands of [[Otan]]. The energy that once drove the world's creation seemed to have been extinguished or withdrawn. However, a singular hope remains in the form of a legendary figure, a lone female [[Ort Qurilissi]] who was rumored to have been kidnapped and spirited away to distant, unknown lands far across the sea.

Recent accounts suggest that after two centuries of exile, this survivor was finally recovered. She has returned to [[Otan]] not as a silent amnesiac, but as a woman driven by a singular, burning vow: to find and awaken every one of her buried [[Qurilissi]] brothers and sisters. Her return is viewed by some as a herald of a new age of motion, while others fear that the reawakening of such volatile energy could destabilize the fragile peace of the post-Erasure world. Whether she can succeed in reconstituting the Builders remains the greatest unanswered question of the current era.
