Also known as the Field of Creation.
The rarest field of them all. These are the builders, the workers of wondrous art. They are known as the Attuned Wind collectively and they number less than thirty nowadays, though they’ve never been numerous. All practitioners in this field are members of the Attuned Wind; there are no others. In their own inner philosophy, they see creation as a tripartite thing; the cause, the deed and the effect. They are represented by three crescents in a circle.
They acknowledge no god or supernal being. The Attuned Wind are arranged hierarchically according to their own tenets, with regards to “facets of the Wind”. In simple terms, they see their skill ability as points on a compass. A line drawn through each compass point traces out a polygon, after which they are named. The lowest rank is the Square, and the master is the Octagon. This is also their title, borne after their given name: Gaulvane of the Heptagon and Ioja of the Octagon. It is acceptable to address them simply by their ranking.
They shun strangers and keep their own company. They have always dwelt in seclusion, far away from the merely curious. Today, they live in the palatial Mansion Lammacia, on the island of Gryne, off the south-western coast of Forosth, a place bedevilled by terrifying storms.
The term “creation” needs to be qualified. They cannot create any living thing nor anything that cannot be made from existing materials. They use their skill to build; Fels is littered with huge and airy edifices that the Attuned Wind have created for no other reason than enjoyment of their craft. Sadly, both their skills and their ideals have devolved over the years and as of today, they are a former shadow of themselves, barely able to raise a single marble column. However, their grounding in the difficult field of creation has given them a much deeper foundation upon which to study other forms of odylicism, and collectively and individually, are a power to be reckoned with.
Like the Werra, they have consummate skill in crafting odylic items, but never do so for others, no matter what the inducement. Many of their creations, such as the naumarin, are in common use. The naumarin is a device that resembles a small armillary sphere, where one circle is rotatable. The rotating circle is attuned to another naumarin at certain points along its axis. So, in effect, it is a communication device that can be attuned to up to eleven other naumarin. They are greatly desired, and the Hielachs are known to possess a complete set.
