Shaman-Monks of Pasdani

-
A particularly slow moving river branch flows down from the mountains
north of Pugshlow, and merges into the Minkush River at the town of
Pasdani. If one walks upstream for a mile, you can see the river
suddenly change from a virulent green to the normal muddy brown of the
Minkush waters. Various scholars attribute the green colour to the
swamp vegetation or mountain ores from the river's source, but few are
satisfied with an explanation of why the colour disappears so
suddenly. At that spot, the earth is dead and salted - no plants
grow, and no animal approach the waters to drink.

A sect of monks, learned in the Chlendi traditions of sorcery and
shamanism, have devoted their existence to prayers and chants at this
spot, all to placate the Nuxad, a flock of river spirits known
throughout the northwest. Unlike most areas, here the Nuxad are not
peaceful and wise. For centuries that have lashed out at passing
travelers, boats, and the more innocent of deer, dragging them all to
a watery death in retribution for long forgotten wrongs done years
ago. The source of the anger is unknown, but the Shaman-Monks of
Pasdani have found the proper rites to keep the Nuxad at peace.
Please drop a coin in their offering pot when you pass by.

Grandmother Moss

-
Grandmother Moss lives on the edge of the "Boglai" Jungle just beyond the Ghikarn Colony of Tuloi. She was an original resident of the Mindat coastal community and is one of the last remaining of her people in the areas. Grandmother Moss lives with her granddaughter, Ahko, and is protective of her to a level bordering on abusive.  She sees to Ahko's studies, putting her on the path to Mindat Academia (including the broad brimmed hat).  She trusts her granddaughter's judgement and skills enough to let her roam a few miles distant from their home, but only when her studies are complete. They live together in a small stilt-raised hut obscured by approachable directions by heavy, cultivated foliage.  They are served by a nog, Pilk, who lives under the hut with his pet pitchfork and tends to gardening and manual labor. Grandmother Moss appears as a weather-worn elderly Mindat woman, who is relatively spry for her age, despite failing sigh and use of a cane.  She chain

Odic, Vril, and other Vital Fluids

-
Modern philosophy has admitted a plenum or universal principle of fluid matter, which occupies all space; and that as all bodies moving in the world, abound with pores, this fluid matter introduces itself through the interstices and returns backwards and forwards, flowing through one body by the currents which issue therefrom to another, as in a magnet, which produces that phenomenon which we call Animal Magnetism. This fluid consists of fire, air and spirit, and like all other fluids tends to an equilibrium, therefore it is easy to conceive how the efforts which the bodies make towards each other produce animal electricity, which in fact is no more than the effect produced between two bodies, one of which has more motion than the other; a phenomenon serving to prove that the body which has most motion communicates it to the other, until the medium of motion becomes an equilibrium between the two bodies, and then this equality of motion produces animal electricity.
