Alurins are a group of Demosidhe (and eventually their descendants) who have been transformed from non-corporial beings into corporial ones. 

This was accomplished by the Gnomish Magus Gwixal with the help of some of his Goldblood students.

For context,  the Demosidhe in question were of the make alliances group. And were hidden away in Crystals to keep them safe. Which worked for them, but, not so well for those that did the hiding.

While it is unknown who they were, or what exactly happened to them. The fact that the stasis spell on the Crystals was beginning the fail is a pretty strong indicator that it was not good. 

A researcher named Thomas who was working on power transmission technology stumbled onto the basic ideas needed for Gate technology. Which lead to his acquiring some of the Crystals housing the Demosidhe. Which lead to his being possessed by some of them. 

Don't judge them too hard they were in a rather desperate situation at the time.

The presence of Demosidhe caused a pair of dormant Goldbloods to activate.

Ok

Quick side notes on Goldbloods 

They were created by "The Gods" 

(Which Gods exactly is up for debate as no one seems to want to take credit/blame for creating them)

When danger is near Goldbloods appear. 

Or 

When Goldbloods appear Danger is near.

How happy people are to learn that Goldbloods are around really does depend a lot on whether they are already dealing with a problem or not.

For some reason people would rather be rescued from a disaster than be told to prepare for one. Go figure 🤔 

Anyway the Golden blood has amazing healing properties and a Goldblood who has been properly trained can do amazingly powerful healing magic.

They can do some pretty powerful magic just in general, but healing/restoring/creating ect is what the Goldblood Magic is intended for.

The Alurins are active Goldbloods because they are living in a wasteland that needs restoring. 

Just noticed I haven't described what Alurins look like. Sorry about that.

I'll get to it with my next edit of this.

Alurins are basically human in both aperance and biology. With coloration being the most notable difference. The term bronzed actually sums things up quite well. Their natural skin tone looks like they used a spray tan product that took the term bronzed very literally. Hair color is also in the bronzed range being anywhere from a few shades lighter to a few shades darker than their skin tone. Eyes are also a golden bronzed color. They are also very in shape not bodybuilder level but more fitness nut level. 

The average Alurin could walk around on most beaches and not get more than a few double takes and advice on using a better spray tan brand.

The only notable difference between Alurin and Human biology is that Alurins heal faster and are more resistant to disease. Which is a function of their Goldblood nature being active. A Human Goldblood would have the same fast healing and resistance.

Active Goldbloods are fertile at will only conceiving if actively seeking to do so at which point in is guaranteed. 

Humans and Alurins are believed to be able to cross breed although there are no reports of such offspring. It is also possible that the Alurin coloring is dominant and any such children would be undetected except by knowing the parents.

An interesting idea about Gwixal is that due to the Alurins and their use of the Gwixal Grove spells on their homes and villages Gwixal might actually qualify as a Demi-god. And basically no one seems to have noticed.

If you count a Gwixal Grove as a temple/place of worship and anyone using the place as a worshiper then he has a rather large congregation.

He's already immortal, magically powerful, and knows vast amounts of information about a lot of things. And he seems to have a habit of showing up when and where he's needed providing the help that's needed at the moment.

By setting up the Rune Crystals all over their towns the Alurins are both blessed and sanctifing them so that everyone in town is offering continuous worship just by going about their daily lives. Which means that there is a vast amount of magical energy available for use whenever it's needed.

He's not the type to ask for worship but if it's there he's not going to let it go to waste, just gather it up and save it until it's needed.

 

Do I need to explain what a Gwixal Grove is or is it rather obvious from context?
