The Driftline Bloodline begins with Sevrene of the Breath, a high seeress born of Emserai tide and Maesa'ka’s dying breath. When the First Sundering split the land, Sevrene’s twin daughters were carried to separate fates—one to the southern fog-groves of Nyrrahel, the other to the glacier-silence of Ishvahnu.
From these two came the Driftline: a lineage tied by grief, memory, storm, and sacred forgetfulness. Their power lies not in conquest, but in what they remember—and what they let be forgotten.

RUMORS: The Driftline sings only when danger is near. Some say a single child carries all their forgotten names in her sleep.
“They are the echo of gods long drowned—and still dreaming.”
Aiss Donnelly — Iceforged descendant of the Donnelly bloodline and fallen Veydrathi nobility. Her grief became frost. Her loyalty never thawed.
Ember McKinley — Flame-coded twin of the McKinley echoes. Took on a rebellion courier's name. Speaks in sigils and sarcasm. Protected by both prophecy and Ourea.
Alexis of the Oathed — No known parentage. Some call her “Alley,” but she does not answer to names. Her dream-rites awaken memories buried by gods themselves.
“They were not raised in stone. But the stone sings of them now.”
