## Seinnai

A race with an otherworldly charm, a seinnai's appearance can vary in each individual, ranging from only having bird-like wings and some feathers in their heads or bodies to having talons and most of the body covered in feathers. A look that makes most people relate them with lycanthropes.

### Songs of the Havens
Most short lived races call them sirens due to their captivating voices and avian traits, but those who seen more than one empire grow and fall relate them to an old legend that says they were created as one of the most magnificent presents to the goddess of animals by the god of arts, combining old humans with beautiful birds.

In the actual times, seinnai are known as roaming storytellers that use their beautiful voices to sing the stories of the world and their own life.

Light hearted and always looking for a reason to extend their wings, most seinnai roam the world to learn about its secrets, people, and cultures to expand their "Life Song". In it, the seinnai sings what they learned and cultivated during they travels, as those who receive should always give back.

Seinnai base their live in a tradition of equality, as "Sky, land, and sea are the notes of life". Being open and collaborative, their culture is always evolving and changing with the incorporation and adaptation of the customs around them, but maintaining a traditional core that shows in their art, architecture, and language. The natural flexibility of their culture and individuals let seinnai adapt their expectations to their surroundings, as most seinnai expect to receive the same treatment they give to a another person.

### History of a Life

Once the seinnai considers their Life Song is complete, they travel to the The Sin-Nog, where in its top lays an old temple that according to the legends, it was the place where three seinnai sung together to bring balance to the world. One sung to the land to keep it close to them, one sung to the sea to keep it calm, and the last one sung to the sky to always guide them. So now every seinnai honor them with a song of the world, showing their respect and hoping to make a song that will grant them a place between them, but this isn't an easy task as most songs can even take a whole day to be sung, and the singer must make it without a rest.

The result of such deed, if positive, ends with a unique mark appearing in the wings of the singer, acting as a symbol of spiritual maturity for the seinnai, but if they fail in some way during the performance or for other reason unknown for the singer, their wings turn gray and dull. These "Grey Seinnai" tend to be treated with some kind of sadness and sorrow from their people, being removed from their works or duties and assigned simple tasks that don't require them to leave their house.

For most outsiders or people that doesn't know about their culture, this may be considered as a way to hide those dishonorable seinnai that failed their trial, but the real motive is that this change is made to let the grey seinnai focus in their song and give it more time to practice and train without great interferences. "No land moves constantly, no sky stays clouded forever, and no sea is always raging"

### Blessing of Feathers
The true story about the creation of the seinnai is hidden away in their ancient libraries away of prying eyes to respect the wishes of they ancestors. The first seinnai were a creation of the Godess of Beasts itself, who granted ancestral celestials the blessing of her favorite birds so they could stay in the plane of mortals more easily, due to the tie that their souls now had.

This divine heritage is shown in the body of each seinnai, and is believed that the more bird-like features a seinnai has, the more close to their ancestors is. And between all these traits, there is one considered a blessing between them. When a seinnai born with two or three pairs of wings, they are considered to be the representation of the first singers of The Sin-Nog and are treated with great respect and kindness.

#### Names
The word seinnai is the combination of two words, sei (descendant), and nnei (angel) from a language long ago forgotten, except for some little words and expressions used by them. So it's thought that their names bare some kind of meaning, but even the older seinnai have forgotten it.

While most names tend to be related to one sex, seinnai aren't really strict with it, usually changing their born name for a more fitting one when they reach adulthood.

**Male Names:** Cader, Terin, Etrameer, Fecci, Guri, Drocer, Beru, Crom, Suffe.

**Female Names:** Etsy, Pri, Zenty, Mitris, Becsi, Dre, Sori, Cismet, Telny.

### Fragmented

When a soul dies on a place with potent magic, there is a possibility that a fragment of its soul materialize, creating a humanoid body that resembles the one of the original creature, but broken and changing, reflecting a scene from the memory of the creature that created it, but without any recollection of their past life.

Usually living between the ruins of ancient civilizations, they spend their first years learning about what they call soul memory, the fragment that is shown in their crystalline body. Some fragments will do it in solitude, while other will group in their equivalent of a family, called whole, where various fragments with a memory of the same person or someone related to them group to contemplate and understand them.

#### Travel for a Soul

When curiosity or envy about the fragment of the world represented in their soul memory reaches the mind of a fragment, it will embark in a journey to nurture their knowledge and "create" a soul for themselves.

This traveling fragments are known as drifters by their kind, going from one place to another to experience what the time that left behind their "parents" has to offer. Most people consider them animated constructs or something closer to a warforged, but they are always looked with curious amazement.

Most fragments will have problems adapting to society, due the differences of their culture, made from the fragments and bits that others of their kind can remember and reconstruct.

#### Fragment of the Present

Traveling and living in the outside world is a dangerous affair, and it isn't strange to see what's left of a fragmented that went a little too far to follow a trail, or didn't see where it was stepping. In special occasions, when a fragmented has created enough life experiences or memories, its mind would split in various fragments, giving life to a new "family" of its kind. These fragments would have part of the memories of the deceased, but not everything.

#### Fragmented Names

Fragmented tend to take their first names from something in their soul memory, maybe due the appearance or the role it has in the memory. When they create a soul for themselves with new memories and experiences, they tend to take a complete name based in an important aspect of their memories.

Soul Memory Names: Night, Moon, Cascade, Lover, Lute, Church, Flower, Red, Dress, Watcher, Statue.

Complete Name: Joy, Hunt, Love, Tradition, Duty, Hope, Help, Childish, Sorrow, Penance, Travel.
