|Introduction=The '''Saevien''' are the warden race of [[Pavkanai]], the [[Primordial Spirit]] of imagination. They are the protectors of [[Homhuen]], the realm of imagination and dreams, and are known only to those who reach it in dreams. | |||
|Etymology=''Saevien'' is a shortened form of ''saengzvienz'', the Saevien word for "dream". | |||
|Origin and Nature=Pavkanai formed the Saevien after the [[Great Erosion]], once the [[Dawn Wars]] had begun, as a precaution; accounts do not agree on what she meant them to guard against. They were not shaped from nothing: Pavkanai gathered the consciousness already present in imagination until it took form and awareness. | |||
|Biology and Physical Traits=The Saevien are humanoid figures built of open, box-like frames, hollow throughout. They are described as empty vessels for imagination and creativity, given shape by what passes through them rather than by any substance of their own. They are ageless. | |||
|Abilities and Osia=The Saevien follow the [[Path of Pavkanai]]. Because of their closeness to Pavkanai, they hold great power over imagination and dreams, beyond that of human disciples. | |||
|Mythology and Legends=Dreamers who reach Homhuen, including disciples of the Path of Pavkanai who practice dreamwalking, report meeting the Saevien there. They are not known ever to have appeared physically in [[Dalel]] or any other realm. In art they are usually shown as figures of empty frames. | |||
|Relations with Other Races=Humans, whom Pavkanai formed in Homhuen, encounter the Saevien only in dreams. | |||
