Kuthar: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

|History and Legends=* The Wind’s Blessing Ritual – Before a young Kutharen builds their first orchard or insect hive, they must climb to a mesa’s highest point and release a bundle of seeds and feathers into the wind, symbolizing their acceptance of change and renewal.

* The Forgotten Flight – Some mesas bear the remains of ancient Kutharen settlements, long abandoned as the land beneath them eroded into the depths below. The Kutharen do not mourn these losses, believing that the spirits of their ancestors still drift upon the canyon winds, whispering their wisdom in the currents.

|Notable Settlements=The Kutharen build their homes where the winds are strong, and the land is slow to erode. Their settlements are designed to adapt, shifting with the landscape rather than resisting it.

Vurthan Shaft – The capital and largest Kuthar settlement, located on the grandest plateau in [[Orrakar]]. Vurthan Shaft is a network of massive, interconnected wind-lattice platforms, reinforced with hardened resin and anchored to the rock. As the political and cultural heart of Kutharen society, it serves as a hub for trade, governance, and sky-hunting. Its location offers the most stable gliding routes between distant settlements.

Vash-Tul – A precarious cliffside settlement built along the very edge of the Endless Rift. Suspended platforms and woven structures cling to the sheer rock face, reinforced to withstand the shifting canyon winds. Vash-Tul is both a vital trading outpost and a spiritual center, where Kutharen perform '''wind-blessing rituals''' and study the canyon’s movements.

Korrhavas – A fortified mesa stronghold built at the convergence of Orrakar’s most unpredictable winds. Less accessible than other Kuthar settlements, its structures are deeply anchored into the rock, designed to endure even the fiercest storms. Korrhavas is home to '''sky-hunters, craftsmen, and keepers of Kutharen oral tradition''', preserving wind-carved symbols and ancient knowledge passed down through generations.
