Sundaraali

“The river gives, the river takes — as do we.” — River Priestess Anaya Vedra

Overview

The Sundaraali dwell among the great deltas where life is richest and most perilous.
Masters of irrigation, herbalism, and poetry, their civilisation thrives on rhythm — of rain, river, and ritual.
They see balance not as restraint, but as dance.

Culture & Society

Society is layered by vocation: farmers, scholars, spirit-priests, and rulers known as Rain-Kings.
Matriarchal lineages trace descent through the mother’s house; hospitality is law.
Public festivals mark the monsoons — processions of light, water, and song.

Magic & Leyline Affinity

Sundaraal’s Verdant Leylines pulse strongly; Verdane Touched appear here more than anywhere else.
Ritual magic focuses on healing, fertility, and divination through water.
Mana-Tech is tolerated but viewed as spiritually “dry.”

Faith & Belief

The Church of the Lifestar is seen as one voice among many.
Most households venerate both the Lifestar and the River Mothers — ancient Verdant spirits said to predate the Church’s reach.
