*The Ba'hari were a peaceful, island-dwelling people who inhabited an island called Ba'har. This tribe were neither Carad nor Relian, having moved far away before the flood. Unbeknownst to the other two, a third race had arisen.*

*The Ba'hari were more isolated than the other races, having settled on an island that was far out to sea, even before the flood. Consequently, preliminary research shows, their mutations took a different direction than the two races on the known parts of Casilan. If indeed the make up of Tear Stone and geology nearby affected the character of their changes, theirs would likely have been quite different.*

*Ancient records imply that the powers of the Ba'hari may have had something to do with morphology, the changing of form. However, these accounts are largely considered wild conjecture in the academic community. Little proof exists for this theory.*

*Conspiracy theories of an even more conjectural nature point to a plot by the Relian and Carad governments to subdue this potential threat to our sovereignty preemptively, fearing that so-called shape-shifters could replace any of us for their own means. However, no academic of any repute would truly put this absurd idea forward as truth.*
