|fauna9    = [[Neefaar]]
|fauna9    = [[Neefaar]]
|fauna9desc = The Neefaar are strange creatures with an unknown origin who were the first of [[Estel’s]] plant-based heralds to arrive into the lands of the [[Allorn Empire]]. But, they were ignored, and soon hated for what later messengers enacted, and some even fell into the arms of the [[Kathar]] who warped them into corrupted reflections of their former selves. Following the [[Wildering]], the birth of the [[Yanar]], the Neefaar attached themselves to this plantlike [[Race]], while also remaining in servitude to the Kathar. Considered rare among the creatures of the world, the Neefaar are truly living relics, especially those purported to be from the era before the [[Cataclysm]], yet they are not time capsules of information so many likely would wish them to be. Instead, they are stoic, and some would say broken, remnants of a previous age.

|fauna10    = [[Zhirakh]]
|fauna10desc = The Zhirakh are a trio of horrifying, [[Human]]-sized bugs whose true origin in [[Asha]] mythology is lost. Thought to be the children of [[Demons]], the creatures are said to seek out and singularly consume entire fields of crops by themselves, brutally defeating those who might try to protect their harvests from the hungering beasts. Stories also tell of their ability to fly across vast distances in search of food, and their utter hatred of the sun, so much so that their consumption is told to always occur in the night.
|fauna11    = [[Sufiq]]
|fauna11desc = The Sufiq is an ancient, ethereal crane surrounded by the superstitions and traditions of the [[Asha]], often hailed as the soul guide of those moving from one world to the other. Frequently depicted alongside the Sefakhem to guide their hands whilst they are blinded, this creature is steeped in rumor and intrigue passed on from generation to generation by both word of mouth and ancient texts. Whether this bird is truly alive or the result of superstition given physical form is a point of contention for many scholars, as some are so steeped in their secrecy surrounding the Blades of the Passed’s history that they simply cannot come to a proper conclusion.

Aloria is rich in both fauna and flora. This page specifically is dedicated to the broad range of animal life which grows and thrives across the many continents. All animals are split into relevant categories, and are further divided into three types. The first is full Wiki pages with greater information supplied due to their significance to Proficiencies, Cultures or Races. The second are the General Animals, the basic and often common forms of life which can be divided into many subgroupings based on the regions they inhabit. The last are the Specific Animals, unique, one-off fauna with unique traits and a place in the lore, yet almost no interaction from the playerbase or practical involvement in Progressions, instead useful as a purely background feature. Keep in mind that this list is not final and will be added to when necessary.
