Which brings me to my question: what would their relationship be with the Charodae? I know you said that Mizahar in general do not like the Svefra, but I can't see the peaceful Charodae holding unbiased grudge.

Thanks!

Beat me to it. Anyway, it will be nice having another race to interact with that doesn't want to kill you and devour your lifeless corpse. XP Hurray for the Svefra!

They are not gypsy vikings! Take it back!

*secretly hopes he has facial hair*


Couple questions also updated:
  • No pooling money for a bigger ship by new characters and new players.
  • Anyone can call The Nal'lyeo, but the more important you are the faster your people will come running. How are they called? I'll add this to the wiki, but basically trained seabirds, not unlike pigeons, are sent between pods and used as a means of communication.

One other question, is there a way to impress the Svefra or to bribe them in any way that they also give you the rights to pirate in their waters. (something from the magnitude like being a marked from laviku.)

And if there isn't any reason to do that they are only active in the suvan sea right so the ocean around mizahar is still up for grabs?

Jokor, they aren't going to allow anyone to pirate in their waters if they can help it. It's easier to pirate outside of the suvan though, since the svefra numbers there are a lot smaller. For one the Svefra won't take on the Zeltvian fleet toe to toe.. their ships are bigger and faster. That doesn't mean they won't steal a zeltivian ship if they could.

Wow, this is awesome! I already read part of the lore on my phone and love it so far (especially the tribal touch with the Takan... or what they're called). The Svefra also inspired some half-ideas for plots as storyteller and for one of my PCs. Thank you, Jen, for creating new opportunities to have fun around the Suvan Sea! I desperately want to weave them in my stories and will probably think about stuff until I get back. :)

Please remember too folks that you can only have one tavan at a time. It's like a symbol of who you are and where you are at currently in your life. I've seen several pcs out there with multiple ones. Please correct this!

Wiki updates in in regards to seabirds... or will be in five minutes.

First off, I love the Svefra. I actually considered making them, but I like kelvics too much and had to go with my dolphin instead. I do have a question though. It's mentioned in several places that most or at least a lot of Svefra are marked by Laviku? Are the Oceanus and Laviku entries going to be updated soon so we can play them?
