Weaving

Nestled near the center of the spiral in Bane’s Glade, the lodges of artisans form a vibrant community of creativity and craftsmanship. Here, the steady rhythm of daily life pulses through the efforts of fishermen, smiths, farriers, potters, and cooks. Among them, one lodge stands out in a riot of color and artistry—the tent of the weavers.

A Living Tapestry

The weavers’ tent is a masterpiece in its own right. Its fabric shimmers with vivid hues, intricately dyed and embroidered to tell a tale as old as the forest. A closer look reveals the story of Medi, the Free Kutauri, intricately woven into the tent’s panels. Each thread is a stroke of history; each pattern is a testament to resilience. The Kutauri take great pride in their weavers, whose work combines traditional techniques with artistic flair.

The Magic of Threads

Under the guidance of the Yv’anda, some Kutauri have mastered the rare and revered art of magical weaving. This craft transforms ordinary garments into enchanted items, imbuing them with protective energies. The weavers work with care, selecting each thread as if it holds the essence of the forest itself. In exchange for fulfilling a Wish, they may weave protective magic into your chosen garment, creating a piece both beautiful and functional.

A Gathering Place of Inspiration

The weavers’ tent is not merely a place of work but also a gathering point for creativity and inspiration. Here, visitors can witness the Kutauri’s artistic process and, if they are patient and respectful, perhaps even learn a trick or two. The air hums with the soft sound of threads being pulled taut, a melody of creation that soothes the soul.

To watch the weavers of Bane’s Glade is to see art in its purest form—a blend of tradition, talent, and enchantment. Each thread carries the weight of history, each stitch whispers of a promise made to the forest. And as their needles dance, so too does the spirit of Banewood, weaving a tapestry that binds past and present into one glorious whole.
