A Weald is the name given to the homeland of an elven clan of extended families and their adopted kin. A Weald is empowered with anima by each member, who shares its benefits and contributes to its power upon their coming of age or sooner – whenever the faerie activates their Flora Bound trait. In normal situations, all Wealds are anchor points that tie to a Soul Well.
A Weald has a mundi spirit that serves as the channel for the anima that anchors the binding. The community manifests in the spirit of the Weald – it becomes a force larger than the sum of its parts. The Weald has a multitude of instances of ‘Amesha Flora’, forming a network that alerts the sacred Weald Watchers when one of their number is hurt or any blight forms. There is also a calmness and serenity that they help foster.
The Ubaidth Faction: Within each clan home is a faction which learns the ways of outsiders, tends to be more militant, and interfaces with outsiders. This faction has a leader, typically one of the best warriors of the clan. They and their attendants are the faces typically seen by outsiders. They are often referred to as “The Watchers” – scouts and hunters ranging far and wide using stealth and concealment.
Green Sleeves: There is one notable elder, donning the “Green Sleeves” of the traditional dress and which is the final word in all relations with other clans and any “contracts” outsiders will have between them and the clan. This is typically a matriarch or patriarch position.
