Among the many species of Ortruna, the Sanders hold a special place in history. These beings, composed of living sand, were the first to interact with the humans when they arrived on the planet.

  Physically, Sanders can shift their form, adapting their size and shape as needed. Despite their soft, flowing bodies, they are incredibly resilient and wise, possessing knowledge that predates many of Ortruna’s civilizations of species.

  The Sanders ages by their mastery over sand. And they are almost immortal, we don't know if they even can die. The oldest known Sander is over a millennium years old. They are one of the oldest species on Ortruna. As they master their Sand Control more and more, they age more and more. A Sander's age can be shown to show their Sand Control's mastery.

  When the humans first landed, it was the Sanders who guided them to a giant lake, named by the humans as Earth-2 (now known as the Lake of Earth), the size of planet Earth, helping them find a place to settle. However, their assistance stopped there—they did not aid in rebuilding human society but instead observed from afar. But for a good reason, for the humans to rely on themselves and build their own species on this new planet for them, ensuring humanity could stand on its own.

  The Sanders remain one of the most respected species in Ortruna, and their bond with humans is deeper than any other species’ connection.
