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?)

-===The Theoi & Mantles===
-Pelithine gods come out of the Shattering broken into Mantles.  The Dancer, Sentinel, etc were the shard gods within the Timestorm, but sacrificed themselves to keep Pelithos whole (keep the titans from breaking free; as the Timestorm ends, damage to the Apparatus results in the leaks (proto-Vaultlands), which lead to titan cults and the First Titanomachia in the early Shattered Age).  The cults manage to call Starfall down, empowering the Vaultlands to their current severity) before the imitheoi triumph.

-** The Pyxis (doom, disruption, breadkdown of space and time) ???the bearer is turning the box into a die to become chance (carved runes on the faces of the box, it can grow and shrink)
-* Keeper (death, man)
-** The Oboloi (ruler of the underworld, crucible, lead coins, gravity)
-** The Sickle (dying, entropy, killing)
-** The Amphora (psychopomp, gathering of waters, holds the memories/experiences of the dead; in vino veritas; poet speaks the stories of the dead? drink to forget / river lethe? maenads (lose the drinking contest and become a maenad, dionysus and thanatos)

-* There are 9 Thrones.  1 Enthroned bearer from each domain is most stable.  Not having that leads to upsets in natural order.
-* There are lots and lots of servitors on Pelithos.  They are manifested by the Apparatus to deal with disruptions to the natural order, but end up staying so long they form identities.  They stick around, but also develop their own ideas about their domains (river-gods, city-gods, etc).  The Imitheoi don't always have full authority over them, esepecially the powerful ones.
-===Cults===
-* the power a Primarch has to invest in heralds and exarchs is more fungible for Imitheoi.  They create cults with different manifestations and distributions of power,  A new bearer may take over an existing cult, or seek to reapportion power according to their own knowledge / understanding / desires / instincts.  This can leave residual cults from older bearers, who may even be antagonistic to the new bearer, who might want to reclaim the mantle's power from the current holders to reassign.
