Ty, Tinuviel! I don't know where the idea came from. I spose I was just thinking about spirits. I love the idea of them. The Narath were the first creatures to dwell on the Mortal Plane, and were created by Athalin the Earth Mother. It was an ongoing idea, trying to create a bunch of races. They just popped up! I think it stemmed from the idea that Athalin created the earth, actually. Her daughter Elenai, Daughter of the River, went to the Mortal Plane, and then I decided that the closest creatures to gods were spirits. After that it would gradually get more mortal, ie. Elves, then dwarves, then men.
