♢ -- xxxxx What are anemoi?


Like the untamed winds they embody, anemoi are creatures that exemplify freedom; natural sea farers and adept explorers who thrive where the sky and water meet. They can be found in regions all over the map, from the warmest reaches of the tropics in the south, to the cold, and unforgiving edges of the north. Be it for fame, fortune, exploration, or beyond, wherever the wind takes them, all anemoi have an innate reason for traversing the sea; to earn their wings and join the winds in flight.



♢ -- xxxxx General Biology
○ -- Anemoi are born wingless, though it is foretold that anemoi are bestowed with their wings upon fulfilling an extraordinary act. Not all are so fortunate to receive such a gift in their lifetime, though many try.
○ -- Anemoi are facultative bipeds, meaning while they commonly walk and run on all fours comfortably, they are also capable of standing on two legs in certain circumstances, such as carrying objects, communication, and various other tactile uses.
○ -- Omnivores, anemoi’s primary food source comes from fruit, nuts, fish and small mammals.
○ -- They breed in pairs and have offspring of up to 2 nestlings
○ -- Anemoi can also imbue their likeness into unclaimed eggs they take in as their own.
○ -- Anemoi have 4 known variations adapted for the 4 major regions of the map.
○ -- Variations can crossbreed, though their offspring will take on the variation base of one parent, however, they may possess unique colorations or traits attributed to both.

♢ -- Introduction
xxxx ○ -- Home of boreas, The Northland, commonly referred to as Everfrost, is an ancient land cursed with an eternal winter. Known for its mysterious ice-caped mountains and tundras, and made notorious for its frigid temperatures and unforgiving winds; it is perhaps the most treacherous of the four regions. It requires a great deal of preparation to traverse for those unfamiliar or unadapted. It is said to be decorated with many riches within the center of its deep caves, brimming with diamonds, silver, and gold—but also with dangerous beasts.

♢ -- Prominent Locations
xxxx ○ -- Spiretooth
The heartland, and the most populated city within The North, Spiretooth is a series of rocky structures that resemble a large fortress, or the spires of a castle, it stands in between the sea and land like a mighty wall, a stronghold against enemies and carved with the snow coated scars of the past. Though the exterior may appear imposing to newcomers, where bridges weave in-between each entrance and creak eerily in the wind, inside warm, welcoming light beckons, where a bustling settlement of homes, businesses and nurseries lies within, and warmed by the natural crystals within that illuminate the place. It is rather high for the wingless, not helped by the ice coated old bridges, though this does little to perturb a boreas, who is an exceptional mountain climber, sturdy and compact enough to withstand bad tumbles. The tallest spires are home to royalty and nobility, who earned their rank by proving themselves at sea, through prowess, and tending to the communities that rank below them.

xxxx ○ -- Crystal Cove
Living up to its name, crystal cove is dotted with pristine waters, scattered with fishing spots and plush snow, though its most recognizable feature are the massive crystals and gems that dot this winter wonderland in clusters and breathtaking shapes, they give off a gentle warmth, and glow and shimmer alongside the northern lights at nightfall, and light up the waters below in a dazzling display, attracting bountiful fish. Alongside fishing, nesting boreas and nurseries are plentiful in this area as the crystals warmth provide a natural incubator for parent anemoi. Many traveler anemoi feel inclined to take these crystals for themselves; notus being the most notorious offenders with their love of all things shiny. This issue has occurred enough to warrant the act of taking them a crime, with boreas acting highly territorial around these structures for they rely upon them for food, nursing chicks and trade alike.

xxxx ○ -- Whispering Wilds
A mountainous and uninhabited portion of land where the weather is at its most hazardous, but resources are the most valuable. It is abundant in prey animals and treacherous beasts alike that make it a exceptional hunting ground for boreas who hold many traditions and epic tales and myths that center around this land, thus much effort is put into its protection from the greedy gazes of travelers and thieves looking to over-harvest the rich resources that dot the land. It gets its name from the sound the wind makes when it passes through the mountains and caves, listen close enough and it almost sounds like whispers, some boreas claim to hear the voices of their ancestors, others believe the mountains speak of omens.

xxxx ○ -- Pine Point
If an anemoi ever gets caught within the frigid winter storms of the north, they can rest assured that if they catch the scent of pine trees on the wind, Pine Point Refuge is in reach. Upon the coastline this place lays, a breathtaking coniferous forest of rich greens and abundant life combats the snowy land and mountain caped backdrop, shielding anemoi from the bite of the icy winds. Pine Point is a sanctuary for many lost souls or anemoi who have befallen illness or curse, it is a humble settlement founded by a boreas known as Caladrius, a former ship surgeon who dedicated his remaining years to treating the ailment and injuries of all who enter his refuge. Despite Pine Point’s positive reception; It’s not without its peculiarities, as many rumors circulate amongst the locals that warn of specter’s that haunt the woodland and sea, leading good hearted adventurers to the sanctuary and cruel hearted travelers to their doom. While some assume these rumors are merely meant to frighten travelers, others claim there is validity to the gossip.

xxxx ○ -- The Maw
Even the most intrepid souls think twice before entering The Maw. Be it by greed, foolishness or curiosity, there is a certain allure to the large sea cave that inevitably drowns out all warnings made of its danger. For the most valuable of riches lie within, carved out of Everfrost’s side it lies in wait, like the toothy maw of an insatiable beast awaiting its next willing meal. The ships who enter the Maw seldom return will all its crew accounted for, that is, if the ship ever remerges back at all. The true extent of this massive sea cave and its labyrinth like tunnels and chambers is unknown, very little of it has been successfully mapped out, even littler is known about the threats that lie within, the only certain thing about The Maw is the riches hidden behind cave walls, glittering with the rarest of artifacts and hidden bygone troves of famed pirates and thieves, but also items that harbor curses.

♢ -- Introduction
xxxx ○ -- To the south, the notus is native, The Scorching Isles lies splayed out across crystal clear waters, decorated in the most vibrant of reefs and sea life alike. The small islands they trace are equally abundant in the color of lush jungle foliage and massive trees. Drenched in the perpetual summer heat, the plentiful rainforests and ancient temples deeper within offer the only protection away from the sun and frequent bouts of rainfall alike. The most notable feature is that of the active volcanos littered throughout.

♢ -- Prominent Locations
xxxx ○ -- Emberhold
Upon the largest isle, where the towering canopies and temples of old converge, and stone and root merge into one, lies the largest city within the south. Densely populated and bustling with the most vibrant of feathers, the trees dance with the exuberant plumage of the residents who occupy it. This community will take any opportunity they can to celebrate, and it shows in the decorations that adorn the structures in glittery treasure, garlands of flowers line the walls, and offerings of the finest fruits, fabrics and relics that compile at the very center of Emberhold’s main temple. Legends say a generous bird of flame bestowed notus with one of its blazing feathers to ward off the bloodthirsty beasts of the night. To this day the feather remains alight within the center of this temple, a perpetual flame, and a symbol of notus’s unwavering aspiration.

xxxx ○ -- Root & Rigging Tavern
One particularly disastrous storm blown in from the east had devastating effects on the isles, with waves so big they sent someone’s mighty vessel into the tree tops, but notus, being the crafty creatures they were, saw it as a perfect opportunity to repurpose it into a happy little tavern full of merriment and joviality. Sure, it rocks and creaks, and the threat of gravity sending the ship back to the ground is a frequent concern to the more sensible anemoi — but that’s all apart of the fun for the remainder! It has become a beloved and frequent spot for all sailor and traveler looking to unwind from their long journeys, exchange a tall tale or two and seek out new opportunities for adventure. Some say the original owner of the vessel is still looking for it to this day.
