+The '''Western Sea''' was a sea separating the [[island]]s of [[Corondor]] and [[the Domains]] on [[Dominaria]].
-The '''Kor''', '''Vec''', and '''Dal''' were human tribes living on [[Rath]].  Each of the tribes leant their name to the [[Korvecdal]].  The [[Kor]] were the only one of the tribes to vary significantly from regular humans.
+It can also refer to a sea in [[Cridhe]].
-Those among the tribes who sided with the [[Evincar]] of Rath were labeled with the ''il'' prefix and those who opposed the Evincar received the ''en'' prefix.  For example:  [[Greven il-Vec|Greven ''il''-Vec]].

-===Kor===
-The '''Kor''' are a human-like race that once lived on [[Rath]]. They had blue skin, slightly elongated skulls, and small barbels hanging from their chins. The Kor that served the Evincars of Rath were known as the ''il''-Kor, while the ones that opposed them as the ''en''-Kor. The Kor also lent their name to the [[Korvecdal]].
-Once native to another plane, the Kor were drawn into Rath by [[Volrath]] like with other peoples, such as the [[Vec]], the [[Dal]], and the [[Skyshroud]] [[elves]]. The ''en''-Kor are a nomadic and deeply spiritual people who dwell on open [[plains]] and whose religion centered on the sky. In combat, the ''en''-Kor emphasize damage prevention. (Their trademark ability to redirect damage they take to other creatures was designed as a "fixed" version of [[banding]].) ''En''-Kor twins were almost always trained as lancers. The center of their culture was the [[Kor Haven]], a city built into living rock. After the [[Rathi Overlay]] and the [[Apocalypse]], the ''en''-Kor presumably adapted to life on [[Dominaria]]. The ''en''-Kor are primarily [[white]]-aligned.
-The ''il''-Kor were servants of Volrath along with other inhabitants of the [[Stronghold]]. They gave up their nomadic lifestyle to settle in the [[City of Traitors]], but remained hunters, often becoming thieves. During the Rathi Overlay, the city, with the ''il'', were trapped in the [[shadow]] world between planes. By the time of [[Time Spiral]], 300 years later, the ''il''-Kor shifted from thieves to spies, using their intangible state to their advantage to steal secrets. Though originally [[black]], after they were freed from Volrath's influence the ''il''-Kor eventually shifted to [[blue]].
-In an alternate timeline, Rath's Evincar, <c>Mirri the Cursed</c>, subjugated the ''en''-Kor as her personal slave race.
-===Vec===
-The Vec were a human tribe, possibly from [[Dominaria]], who were trapped on the plane of [[Rath]] by the will of [[Volrath]]. They were divided into two groups: the ''en''-Vec, who remained independent, and the ''il''-Vec, who defected to Volrath's service.
-The ''en''-Vec were a seminomadic people who lived in small townships made up of thatch-roofed wooden buildings on the [[plains]]. They were fair of skin with dark hair, and often wore loose clothes and head-wraps. Spiritually devout, their culture centered around their priesthood and their oracles, and they built elaborate tombs for their dead. They had a strong military tradition motivated by religion. It is unknown how long their people lived on Rath, but it was evidently long enough to develop a system of myths about their new home. The ''en''-Vec united with the other peoples of Rath in resisting Volrath. After the [[Rathi Overlay]], the ''en''-Vec presumably adapted to life on Dominaria free from Volrath's grip and may still exist in the present. The ''en''-Vec were [[white]] and [[green]]-aligned.
-The ''il''-Vec were traitors to their people who joined Volrath's forces. Rogues and opportunists, the ''il''-Vec also produced a number of fire mages due to their close proximity to Volrath's furnaces. After the Overlay event, many of the inhabitants of the [[City of Traitors]], located at the heart of the [[Stronghold]], was trapped in the [[shadow]]-world between worlds. Prior to the Overlay, the ''il''-Vec were primarily aligned with [[black]] and [[red]], but after Volrath's defeat some drifted back to [[white]].
-Notable ''en''-Vec:
-* [[Oracle en-Vec|Oracle ''en''-Vec]]
-Notable ''il''-Vec:
-* [[Greven il-Vec|Greven ''il''-Vec]]
-* [[Starke|Starke ''il''-Vec]]
-* [[Takara|Takara ''en''-Dal]] (half ''il''-Vec/half ''en''-Dal)
-===Dal===
-The Dal were a human tribe of warriors and [[wizard]]s, the only one of the Rathi tribes to live in permanent settlements. Dal of both sexes were known for their long, braided hair, frequently of brown or reddish-brown color; Dal men typically wore their beards the same way. Like the other tribes, there were both the ''en-''Dal, faithful to the tribe, and the ''il''-Dal, traitors who served the evincar of Rath.
-The Dal were transferred to Dominaria during the overlay. The ''en''-Dal presumably retained their lifestyle, but after the Invasion, many of the ''il-''Dal lived among the ruins of the Stronghold as shadow creatures, seeking the books of their traitorous ancestors to learn how to escape their half-existence. Some of the'' en-''Dal somehow became spiritual beings as well, living as shadows willing and capable of bestowing their ability upon others.
-The [[Weaver King]], a psychic vampire and manipulator, and the adversary of Teferi, Windgrace and Freyalise during the events of Planar Chaos, was once a man named Oleg il-Dal.
-Notable ''en''-Dal:
-* Takara ''en-''Dal
-* Aniyeh ''en-''Dal (mother of Takara)
-Notable ''il''-Dal:
-* [[Vhati il-Dal|Vhati ''il-''Dal]]
-* Oleg ''il-''Dal, the [[Weaver King]]
