🧬 ORIGIN & DOMAIN

The Nyrraheli reside on the fog-wreathed isle of Nyrrahel, hidden deep in the Veleth Isles. They descend from a tri-bloodline convergence—Emserai, Kasherni, and Eithari—unified by the Driftline Pact. Their realm is governed not by might, but by memory, and the stones themselves choose their monarchs.

🏛️ CULTURE & STRUCTURE

Nyrrahel is ruled through the Trium Covenant, a sacred balance between its three lineages:

• Tide-Mystics (Emserai) – spirit-guides, ink-seers, tidecallers
• Stone-Seers (Kasherni) – dream-tenders, grovewalkers, spritebonded
• Lorebearers (Eithari) – breath-archivists, grief-map makers

Each generation, three heirs are chosen to walk the Fogstone Trial. Failure silences their bloodline for a cycle.

🩸 LINEAGE & BLOODLINES

• McKinley – Daughters of Echo: twins/triplets born prophetic, conduct the Silence Binding beneath eclipses
• Donnelly – Sons of Flame and Flood: element-touched hybrids, marked by the Blood-Ward Rite
• The Oathed Third – The lost line: erased from stone, whispered only in fog, memory returns in storms and visions

🧊 APPEARANCE & STYLE

• Skin: Sandstone, clay, sea-silt, or root-toned
• Hair: Driftwood brown, storm-black, moss-blonde
• Eyes: Mist-grey, kelp-green, bone-pale
• Clothing: Tidespun robes, grove-sashes, fogstone beads
• Adornment: Tattoos shift with moon phases; some words only appear when mourning

They dress in memory-layered pieces—rooted in loss, marked by heritage.

🔮 MAGIC & BELIEF

• Rites: Fogstone walking, tide-binding, grove-vigil silence
• Practices: Emserai carve shifting tattoos from leviathan scale; Kasherni summon sprites with dream-sap; Eithari bottle breath to preserve memory
• Belief: Grief is holy. The past breathes. The land will remember you, even if your kin do not.

🪞 MYTHOS MEMORIES

The Nyrraheli do not forget. The land tells their stories, carved in fogstone and tide-shell. Their children are born in triplets, their griefs in cycles, their rulers in silence.

Memory is law. Failure is sealed. But every stone—every stone—waits to speak again.
