Everyday Magic

This article concerns the impact magic has on the daily lives of the inhabitants of Adylheim, explaining the various definitions of magic and also explaining some of the major ways in which Adylheim separates itself from the real world.

Sensitives

A very small percentage of the population of Adylheim are particularly sensitive to changes in the mood of Adylheim and may see apparitions and portents that others do not, these people are called Sensitives and this article is about them.

Introduction

The term Sensitives is something of a catch all term, referring to those among the normal populace that somehow have senses beyond the norm. As a result of this, they may perceive the dreams of others, see the recently deceased or other, stranger, things.

Sekkumaya

This article deals with Sekkumaya, a spiritualistic philosophy that is rather obscure in comparison with the rest of the religious system of Adylheim. It is mainly practiced in the southern fiefdoms, though its monastaries are scattered all throughout the country.

Cult of Quinnas

Worship from the masses is few and far between, Quinnas does not hold the same stigma as the darker gods, such as Maia or Charn who's domains are considered by many to be evil. In fact many people would openly worship Quinnas if he was but a single aspect of luck. People who have asked for his aid have often found that all their luck has increased, both good and bad, something that usually proves fatal, the last thing you want is to discover that your chances of being stabbed decreases at the same time as your ability to attract arrows increases.

As recited by the bard Petrosius Ulsnesos

Beyond the seas,
Aloft the tallest the mountain,
laid a place sprawling with life
as water in a fountain.

The people had nothing to fear,
no danger ever got near,
the gods protected them like a faithful guard dog
until one child got lost, blind man in the fog.
