Caelum: Difference between revisions

Line 88:

The spirits of Caelum are ever-present, shaping the movement of air and sky. While some interact directly with the realm’s inhabitants, others remain distant, their influence felt only through the shifting winds and unseen forces that govern the atmosphere.

|Factions=The inhabitants of Caelum are loosely organized into factions that represent different aspects of the sky, weather, and winds. These groups do not govern in a traditional sense but instead serve as custodians, scholars, or seekers of knowledge within the realm.

=== The Keepers of the Horizon ===

A collective of scholars, navigators, and wind-scribes who study the shifting patterns of Caelum. They believe that the winds hold knowledge of the past, present, and future, and dedicate themselves to understanding these movements.

The Keepers map the Skyflow Expanse, track the migrations of Sky Drifters, and listen to the whispers of the Mistrays for traces of forgotten words carried by the wind. They are known for their intricate wind charts and their ability to interpret the subtle shifts in the atmosphere to predict future weather patterns.

=== The Stormwardens ===

A faction devoted to maintaining the balance of Caelum’s weather systems. They believe that storms, winds, and calms must exist in harmony, and they act to prevent unnatural disruptions to the realm’s currents.

The Stormwardens often gather in the Tempest Basin, where they observe and, when necessary, intervene in the formation of violent tempests. Some among them are said to have the ability to commune with Vaeliths, the spirits of storms, influencing their path or intensity.

=== The Shroudcallers ===

A secretive order that dwells within the Umbral Drift, studying the nature of still air and the mysteries of silence. Unlike the Keepers of the Horizon, who seek knowledge in motion, the Shroudcallers believe that true wisdom is found in what the air does not carry.

They are the guardians of the Breathless Gulf, ensuring that whatever force lingers there remains undisturbed. Some claim that the Shroudcallers can manipulate sound itself, creating moments of absolute silence that even the winds cannot break.

=== The Aetherborn Concord ===

A loose alliance of Caelites and other sky-dwelling beings who advocate for free movement and the preservation of Caelum’s autonomy. They resist outside influences that may seek to control or harness the winds for personal gain, believing that the sky should remain untamed.

The Aetherborn often travel between regions of Caelum, acting as messengers, mediators, and protectors of the realm’s natural balance. While they do not enforce laws, they are known to challenge those who attempt to disrupt the skies for their own purposes.

Factions in Caelum are not rigid institutions but evolving collectives, their influence shifting with the winds. Many inhabitants drift between allegiances, their beliefs and duties changing as they move through the ever-flowing realm.
