Eplihati
"My main archpriest is an eplihati, they're the only person I could trust my life with."
— Tserofal, Apostle of the Sun.
History
The eplihati people were created by the goddess of metallurgy and smithing, Belisama.
At first, they were people made of flesh and bones, and they were for millenniums, creating giant cities and being an overall dominating race. However, they got wiped out from history by a mysterious disease. Belisama, in an attempt to save her creation, turned them into nearby objects, giving life to sets of armors and statues.
After this event, she feared that the disease would come back if she turned them back to flesh. And in so, she had to keep making new eplihati, as they are not capable to reproduce.
When an eplihati is born it "awakes" in a temple of Belisama, free to live its life to the fullest.
