Shurians

Shurians are one of the races in TERA. Shurian look much like humans but are much taller and bigger and have bluish-purple skin.

Some Shurians are found in Dark Cathedral where they are allied with Scions of Lok in effort to raise Lok. Some more are found in Fyrmount, where they initially allied with Akasha, and few exiles in Startree Forest. Where they come from is unknown. Most of them are hostile, but least some are trying to keep peace with Federation.

There is much more lore about the Shurians in the Baldera questline.

"We Shurians used to be very powerful and possessed magic powers. Even the giants from the holy realm were afraid of us and gave up trying to conquer the northern regions. After the age of the giants, we helped Akasha take control of the Spring of Arun. That was the beginning of the end for us. Akasha constructed a machine with which we Shurians could use the power of the spring. In doing so, we were slowly but steadily poisoned by the spring. That machine and our greed cost us everything. And so our proud culture perished. The power of the spring makes everyone who uses it completely dependent. You lose your mind and forget about everything else."
