Elemari Koga (Earth Genasi)
The Elemari Koga are the earth-aligned Elemari of Valdesh, elemental humanoids closely bound to the Plane of Earth. Like all Elemari they descend from Aradaea’s true humans, reshaped over generations by the elemental forces that run close to the surface of their homeland.
