The Legend of Tracia
Tracia was born on the jungle side of the Disc of Agê, shortly before the birth of Pultine on the forest side of the disc. Tracia is the daughter of the first Aziza, but she was born with glorious, feathered wings that her father called Excellent, and she became the definition of the word on the disc. The first Aziza and his kin did not have wings, but they were born from the Essence-rich soil of the Disc of Agê, sprouting up like the flora until they reached maturity with humanoid bodies that they easily uprooted. The first Azizas were practically giants, they grew as tall as the tallest trees of the disc in order to receive the light of Age that shone down from the sky over the canopy. Subsequent generations of Azizas are smaller since they learned to migrate to less populated corners of the disc, usually on the jungle half, to root their off-spring.
The Aziza have brown skin that is rough like tree bark that sheds when they reach maturity to reveal smooth brown skin underneath. They can generate bark to heal their skin or as a protective layer, and they can grow other flora from their skin at will. Their hair is like moss and usually grows up from their heads, rarely hanging down.
Tracia’s mother was the glorious Golden Trumpet that grew in the northern section of the jungle and presided over everything that laid eyes on her and couldn’t resist bowing to her. She was yellow with five petals, each about eighty feet long, that formed a flute about forty feet across, and she rested on the leaves of the giant bush that was her throne.
When the first Aziza met Golden Trumpet, the two were instantly attracted to one another and Golden invited the first Aziza inside of her. Tracia was conceived at their first meeting. Golden was pregnant for many Earther years and the first Aziza was there by her side. Until the day the lightning struck Golden Trumpet, and Tracia was born.
When Agê saw the lightning manifest over the canopy of her disc, seemingly from nowhere, she rushed out to the spot to investigate. She found Tracia, tiny compared to her parents, with golden brown skin and curly hair down past her shoulders, lithe limbs, brown feathered wings that matched her skin, with sparks of electricity jumping off of her. Both Golden Trumpet and the first Aziza were honored by the presence of Agê at the birth of their daughter, and when Tracia was given a Third Heart, they knew that all of the Fonlands would come to know that their daughter was special.
Even though the first Aziza was proud of his daughter, Tracia was not accepted as an Aziza by the larger community. She was revered for her beauty and her might, but she was something different, and she eventually became known as the first Red Mmoatia.
