The Morna Tribe
The Morna are an ancient human tribe once scattered by fear of their weather-sense and sky-marking. Many faded or were absorbed, yet the High Morna endure hidden in the northern mountains. Keepers of thresholds between earth and sky, they appear rarely, offering riddled messages that invite alignment with the Hum’s unfolding currents rather than attempts…

The Wisefolk
The Wisefolk are subtle artisans of human connection, attuned to the Hum within relationships. They guide bonds to form, heal, or gently release, using tokens, storytelling, and shared rituals. Their ceremonies—like the binding circle of cords exchanged for promises or forgiveness—restore harmony without force, offering clarity, reconciliation, and insight that often unfolds long after the…

The Velì Tribe
The Velì move between seen and unseen, harmonising with the Hum rather than commanding it. Solitary and scattered stewards, they anchor fragile thresholds through fasting, meditation, and trance. Their counsel is sought by travellers who journey far for healing or direction. With rare brews and rhythmic drumming, they open channels where insight slowly returns.

The Vythans
A Vythan is a human steward of sacred places—springs, stones, groves, and uplands—dedicated to keeping the Hum flowing unbroken through land and people. They claim no ownership, but dwell where the earth’s pulse is strongest, restoring balance through stillness and care. Their presence embodies “unclouded being,” reflecting nature’s vitality without distortion, guiding communities quietly back…

Human Mourning Rituals

Animals in Gildraen: Partners, Not Property
In Gildraen, all animals are wild and belong to no one, transforming every person–animal interaction into a relationship based on agreement and reciprocity rather than ownership or mere barter. This is not a transaction but a recognition of mutual respect and choice. Animals freely offer their labor—transport, wool, milk, or eggs—in exchange for respectful treatment…

The Fae and The Elves
The room smelled of dust and rosemary. They had pulled the ancient vellum scroll from a crumbling folio wedged behind a loose plank in the library shelves. No title. Just a faint mark scorched into the margin—an old glyph for beginning. Gwynviène sat with the scroll unfurled across her lap, her fingertip hovering just above…

House of Scholars
Overview Among the Evergild Fae, where wealth and dominion have corrupted many once-pure callings, House of Scholars stands apart. They are the keepers of memory, researchers of forgotten lore, and guardians of the Evergild’s crumbling intellectual wealth. Founded in the earliest days of the Evergild, they believe that true power lies not in coin or…

House of Coin
Motto: “All Things Bear a Price.” Overview Wherever coin changes hands, the House of Coin is present — seen or unseen, their reach stretches through every market square, every merchant’s bargain, every whispered deal struck in the dead of night. They are the lifeblood of Evergild commerce, the silent keepers of debt and fortune alike.…

House of Craft
Overview To fashion beauty from rawness — that is the calling of the House of Craft. When the Evergild Fae first abandoned their wild kin for gilded cities and soaring halls, it was the artisans of Craft who forged the walls, spun the banners, and carved the thrones. Their hands shaped the very bones of…
