Birth of Avilli & Lifecycle
Avilli are a small fae-like creatures that can be found all around Kyvalore.
When Avilli first emerged with the rebirth of the world, they emerged from the cracks in the roots of the massive tree on the center on Lynorre as small eggs. These eggs, cradled in the twists of roots and feeding off of the mana of the Life Tree, hatched into the first avilli. Guided by a strange natural instinct they grew up with little worry, learning on their own to adapt, hunt, and fly. Building their own society first on Lynorre, and then expanding to the rest of Kyvalore. While all of Kyvalore is now inhabited by avilli, Lynorre is home to the avilli and the avilli alone. It is their sacred ground, and traditions and life is built so strongly around the Life Tree that many make pilgrimage to the tree once a year to pay their respects to the Tree and the culture around the tree. The regularity of new avilli being born from the tree is commonly unpredictable, but are always there if the Life Tree deems a need for new life. If any avilli wishes to take on an avilli young, they must only approach the tree with good intentions and an egg will appear before them. When an avilli reaches the end of their life, avilli who were close to them can sense the loss instantly from anywhere in Kyvalore. Those that can leave their current duties to attend to the deceased do so. Some avilli taking the tasks of wrapping the body in customary beautiful golden painted leaves, others scouting for non-avilli folk that were close to the avilli to inform them of the avilli's passing, and the rest preparing a final garden for the passed avilli. Many avilli are buried in a family garden if they have family, but if they had none it relied on those that were closest to them find a spot worthy of resting their lost friend. The avilli is held a small gathering, only of those who were the most important in their lives, and then laid to rest in their garden. The attendees tell stories of the avilli's good deeds in life and use magic to project scenes in swirls, lights, and colors as the avilli is buried to honor them. With time, a tree will grow where the avilli was buried, it's mana being a source of the tree, giving back the mana from it's life to the world. |
Avilli fledglings are born in small eggs with all sorts of patterns and colors. They are born without horns, and with small wings that lack the strength to fly.
While they are born with such a strong instinct that they can naturally raise themselves, they prefer to have a parental figure to take care of them. Many young avilli born from the life tree will 'pick' a parent living on Lynorre and follow them around until the avilli gives in and takes on a child. This results in avilli who love raising young living close to the Life Tree, and avilli who'd rather not deal with fledglings living on the outskirts of Lynorre. |
