Celyndor: Difference between revisions

The Dralvir are large, solitary beings with antlered crowns and bark-like skin. They are the oldest protectors of Celyndor, watching over sacred paths and guiding travelers through the forest. Though slow to act, they are nearly impossible to stop once they are stirred to action. They are most commonly found where the pine forests of the north transition into the broadleaf woods of the south.

The Thryssin are a semi-arboreal people adapted to life in the towering pines. They possess long, flexible limbs for climbing and keen senses that allow them to detect the faintest movements in the misty forest. Their settlements are built high among the trees, connected by woven bridges and branch tunnels. They are territorial and rarely welcome outsiders into their domain.

The Velkyn are a plant-like people who exist in deep symbiosis with the forest. Their bodies are interwoven with vines, moss, and bark, and they do not walk so much as grow within their chosen glades. They serve as the keepers of the land’s memory, with their sap carrying knowledge passed down through generations. Some remain rooted in place, acting as living archives of forgotten history.

The Kæthari are nomadic shapeshifters, existing between the mortal and wild aspects of Celyndor. Some appear mostly human with subtle bestial features, while others take fully animalistic forms. Their connection to the forest is fluid, allowing them to move freely between its many regions. They are both feared and revered, seen as omens of nature’s will.

|Flora and fauna=Celyndor is home to a vast array of unique plant and animal life, many of which cannot be found beyond its borders.
