Dari, the Echo of a time before the universe, is an entity that reveals itself only through reflections, vibrations, or unexpected outcomes. Even the old gods, mighty and omniscient, cannot fully comprehend Dari. What the old and new gods do know is that Dari always lingers in the shadows.

The origin of Dari is a mystery that transcends the limits of understanding. What the ancient gods know is that Dari existed before the birth of this universe—a remnant of a previous reality. Some whisper that Dari emerged from the void before anything else existed; others claim it is part of a cycle of destruction and rebirth, leaving traces of the universe that came before.

As the current universe took shape and the old gods claimed their domains, Dari remained invisible. The first mortals, breathing above water and mastering fire, were indirectly influenced by its presence. What truly happened to the world remains unknown, but ruins of that past linger on this planet, and tales of it are passed down through dreams.

What is known is that these events sparked a conflict between the old gods and Dari, resulting in a pact: Dari would not directly influence mortal souls or gods. Instead, it inspires subtly through riddles, symbols, and creative impulses.

The stories of Dari’s influence vary—at times leading to grand creations, at others to tragedy. It plays a game of hints, embedding lessons in stories and leaving both gods and mortals puzzled over their meaning. Dari’s favorites are the scholars, rebels, and creators—those who challenge the world with new ideas, question truths, and think beyond established structures.

Its energy, the spark of inspiration, propels civilizations forward. Art, innovation, and spiritual growth are often attributed to its subtle influence. Dari brings light, not by gifting it, but by awakening it within others.

There are whispers that Dari once encountered Nadi Var D and aided him on his spiritual journey. Some say Dari’s hints helped Nadi Var D navigate the Forest of Twilight and other realms. Dari’s indirect influence may also have guided Dareus ‘the Keeper’ to help Nadi Var D see things differently.

The Echo of Dari remains a force shaping the world. Its presence is felt by those who listen to the whispers of the soul, the sounds of defiance, and the silent calls for renewal. Its essence—a play of light and shadow—serves as a reminder that evolution begins with questions yet to be asked.

Thus, the myth of Dari echoes through time, always just out of reach, yet ever near.
