The '''Free Species''' are a classification of sentient, often mortal species within [[Lethurèa]] and the wider [[Continuum Universes]] that remain spiritually independent of the corruptive dominion of [[Malis]]. While not devoid of divine influence, they are marked by their allegiance to noble [[Spirit Tribes]], their rejection of infernal servitude, and their cultural sovereignty. Many were conceived as children of the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]], birthed into existence to fulfill their divine purpose and uphold [[Divine Law]].
The '''Free Species''' are a classification of sentient, often mortal species within [[Lethurîa]] that remain spiritually independent of the corruptive dominion of [[Malis]]. They are marked by their rejection of infernal servitude to [[Malis]] and their sovereignty. All were conceived as children of the [[Meera|Mother]] and [[Merrik|Father]], birthed into existence to fulfill their divine purpose and uphold [[Divine Law]].


Though some Free Species have warred amongst themselves, they are generally united in their rejection of Malis and his followers. Several formerly corrupted peoples, such as the [[Zekarin]], have earned redemption and are recognized as Free Species once more.

Free Species are regarded with love and dignity by the [[Divine Family]]. They are considered among the children of the [[Meera Jenlek|Mother]] and [[Merrik Jenlek|Father]], and while all of their offspring may be born with divine potential, only those who remain spiritually free of corruption retain the title of “Free.”
