Flowborn
The starting path of all initiates. Explorers, messengers, and connectors who embody adaptability and movement.
Every initiate begins their journey as Flowborn. ''Carry news, carry truth.''
They are the messengers, the travelers, the carriers of news and memory. Flowborn are not tied to one craft or guild; instead, they embody pure movement and adaptability.
They are said to carry echoes of the ancient Hermes archetype, quick-footed, curious, and always at the edges of discovery. Before one chooses to become a Weaver, Shardwright, or Patchrunner, they first live as Flowborn, learning the rhythm of the Weave through motion through the underground and streets.
Flowborn are not builders or mystics or disruptors. They are the scouts and interpreters of the world, those who map pathways, test bridges, and share resonance between groups. Without their flow, the guilds would remain isolated.
Mechanics
Exploration: Flowborn excel at discovery, charting anomalies, scouting unstable zones, and reporting to guilds.
Social Bridge: Flowborn serve as the connective tissue between guilds, able to work alongside all paths.
Progression: After a period of movement and exploration, a Flowborn chooses their rite of passage to evolve into one of the three main guilds.
Unique Gift: They can sense the "first tremors" of Weave instability before others due to thier intricate familiarity with their city.
Cultural Notes
Proverb: “The path is made by moving.”
Proverb: “Carry news, carry truth.”
Flowborn are celebrated at festivals as bringers of connection, dancers whose steps mimic the resonance of the Weave.
Seen as the universal stage of youth; every elder once wore the light cloak of the Flowborn.
Visual Style
Garb is simple and ultra lightweight, designed for speed and travel.
Often adorned with wayfinding tools, glowing compasses, shard-maps, or bracers etched with moving paths.
Cloaks shimmer faintly as though catching unseen winds.
