Pelithos stuff goes here...

• original pelithine shard species = alseids (or just "fey" at this time)

• ferals (all from alseids): satyrs, harpies, kampoi?, pythians, centaurs, minotaurs (immigrants?)
• fury mutants (gorgons, kampoi? cyclops?)
  • cyclops could be a species of giants slipped out into the Avigian Vaultland
• strange mutants (crazy people (maenads?) or obyrith flesh-twisted mutants)

lamia could be a secrety society / cult of the Viper, pattern heralds, using their powers to be dark muses

• used anyot's curse and local telar to become serpentine intentionally? or they could all just be wereserpents? could be a cult from Pythian days

• demons
• obyrith
• Lost

• heralds
• fury sorcerers
• hidden form mages (from acrolon)
• limited strange (lost, obyrith, early students)
• limited shadow magic among the tanari darkstargazers
• solipsis / monadic

• The Dro-on / Night Elves are a major part of the population of the former Acrolonian Hegemony. The Hegemony did nothing to protect the populace from the Long Night, so lots of Dro-on. The bent toward evil helped colonize the locals, and they began staffing the ranks, which led to increasing exposure to and assimilation with demons. As imperial humans died or fled the Reconquest, the Dro-on hermit crabbed their way into ruling the ex-Hegemony lands of Aletheia and Calcaria.
  • So there are non-demonic Dro-on, slowly fading, and there are demon-corrupted Dro-on, who are genetically fucked until further notice.

• eventually strange scholars realize there are 7 uncolonized Loci in the strange, they believe they can take then and ride out the Fall. it doesn't go quite as expected
• elemental form mutations happen in the Fall: neriads / naiads, dryads, oreads, (air nymphs?)
