|Introduction=The '''Vey'Lora''', also known as '''The Windborne''', are a nomadic people native to the vast grasslands of Vaelthar. They are deeply attuned to Vaelora, the spirit of endless grass, and believe themselves to be her voice and breath. The Vey'Lora reject permanent settlements, choosing instead to follow the wind’s path, never lingering in one place for long. Unlike the [[Torinok]], who construct great stone fortresses to resist the elements, the Vey'Lora embrace movement as a way of life.

|Origins and Nature=The Vey'Lora emerged from the living breath of Vaelthar—the wind and the endless grass. They are not merely travelers upon the plains; they are the the grasslands themselves made flesh, the embodiment of Vaelora’s restless spirit. Their existence is a testament to the fleeting, ever-moving nature of the world, embracing transience rather than resisting it.

~~=== Formation of the Vey'Lora ===~~

The Vey'Lora first emerged in the earliest days of Vaelthar, when the winds and fields whispered together, awakening to their own existence. Their bodies were woven from the currents of the sky, their first steps leaving no trace upon the land.

~~=== Connection to the Wind ===~~

To the Vey’Lora, the wind is not just air—it is the voice of the world, a force that shapes fate, guides the lost, and binds all things together. They do not command it, as one might wield fire or stone; instead, they listen, aligning their movements and choices with the unseen currents that flow through Vaelthar.

Wind is also a sacred judge—it grants favor to those who respect its flow and abandons those who seek to control or resist it. The Vey'Lora believe that when one strays from the path of movement, the wind will cease to carry their name, and they will fade from existence, erased like footprints in shifting sand.

~~=== The Breath of Vaelora ===~~

The Vey’Lora view themselves as extensions of Vaelora’s breath, living emissaries of the ever-moving spirit of the grasslands. This belief shapes every aspect of their culture, from their nomadic way of life to their philosophy of impermanence.

* To stop moving is to die. The wind must always carry them forward, and to linger too long in one place is seen as a betrayal of their nature.

* Names are sacred. A Vey’Lora’s name is whispered into the wind at birth, and it carries their identity through the world. To lose one’s name to silence is the greatest fear of their people.

* Life is a journey, not a destination. No Vey’Lora seeks to settle, conquer, or claim—they exist to move, to learn, and to follow the paths unseen.

Their legends speak of a time when the wind will cease, when Vaelora’s breath will falter, and the grasslands will turn to dust. To prevent this fate, the Vey’Lora believe they must keep the wind alive by never stopping, never clinging, and never turning back.

|Biology and Physical Traits=The Vey'Lora are distinguished by their tall, willowy frames, ethereal movements, and natural connection to the wind.

* The Vanishing Paths – Those who betray the wind fade from existence, their footprints erased.

* The Wind’s Last Warning – A prophecy stating that if the Vey’Lora ever stop moving, Vaelthar will fall silent, and the land itself will die.
