Culture
They were one of the first civilizations to utilize Dust, or 'Nature's Wraith'. According to their writings, they called it the 'Blood of the Gods', showing that they believed that Dust was otherworldly. They were avid Dust users, able to perform tremendous feats through it. They even created a way to implant Dust into a living host. Pictures depict a type of device that they must have used to accomplish this feat.

History
From the earliest findings, the Xarii began as a small settlement over 5000 years ago. Plagued by Grimm, they found it difficult to survive in their already harsh environment. Then, they found the means to repel the Grimm, the Blood of the Gods. With the Grimm out of the way, the Xarii thrived, building thier city and monuments to worship thier gods.

Their usage of Dust continued to grow, as there was always a need to defend their city from the Grimm. They began Dust-based rituals roughly 4600 year ago. It is here that the Xarii people began to implant Dust into some of thier warriors, making thier practice with it even more impressive.

2700 years ago, they were wiped out by a currently unknown force.
