Tarm (RPG)



Tarm is an enigmatic being originating from outside of Hyrule, as well as the source of all Fairies.

Overview
Very little is known of Tarm's true nature besides what it manages to convey to mortal beings. According to itself, it originates far outside Hyrule on both a physical and spiritual level. At some point, unknown circumstances led to it becoming stranded on Hyrule, lacking the resources to return to its home in the cosmos. With very little else to do, it begun interacting with mortal beings in Hyrule through manifests known as Fairies, which began to take on lives of their own. A concentrated essence of Tarm resided in Holodrum, and sufficient resources could grant people an "audience" with Tarm.

History
At some point in the distant past, Tarm became stranded on Hyrule. With no resources to leave, it begun to interact with its inhabitants by creation beings known as Fairies. These Fairies would eventually gain wills and lives of their own, and would proliferate across Hyrule and its realms.

The civilization known as the Wind Tribe built a complex which would come to be known as the Tarm Ruins around a concentrated essence of Tarm. Through ritual sacrifice, they could gain an "audience" with Tarm and have their wishes granted, typically the resurrection of another person or cures for their diseases. They created the Goddess Pendants, which could take in souls of the dead that could be exchanged for audiences.

Later, the Wind Tribe was exterminated by Hylian tribes, and Tarm was left alone for hundreds of years.
