Al’Khyneth
Al’Khyneth is a powerful and benevolent spirit, revered as the champion of nature’s delicate balance and the quiet strength of peaceful coexistence. She is a guardian of life’s cycles, a protector of harmony, and a nurturer of the world’s gentler virtues. In ancient times, Al’Khyneth created The An'sei, a unique and gentle race of beastkin inspired by a rare creature of her design: the capybara. The An’sei are a reflection of her ideals—capable yet peaceful, communal yet strong, and ever grounded in the understanding of harmony between all living things. Their serene nature and easygoing demeanor are not born of weakness but of an unshakable inner strength and empathy, gifts bestowed upon them by their creator. Al’Khyneth gave the An’sei a sacred language, a shared understanding of the world through words, song, and heart.
Chief among her blessings to the An’sei is Echo’arda, the gift of the Rune Singers. These gifted individuals can weave ancient runes into harmonious melodies, their voices resonating with the primal forces of nature. Rune Singers are the spiritual leaders of the An’sei, using their abilities to heal the wounded, cultivate the land, and safeguard their people. Through the power of Echo’arda, the An’sei maintain a deep, sacred bond with Al’Khyneth and the world she cherishes.
Al’Khyneth’s edicts are clear yet profound: cherish nature, live in harmony with others, and rely on violence only in defense of life and peace. She urges her followers to seek strength in kindness, to nurture the bounties of nature with patient care, and to celebrate the beauty of life’s interconnectedness. To Al’Khyneth, true strength lies not in destruction, but in the ability to create, protect, and foster growth.
Though her compassion is vast, Al’Khyneth is not passive in the face of imbalance. When the scales of life are threatened, she rises as a fierce protector, her wrath as swift and decisive as a storm. To destroy without cause, to harm needlessly, or to exploit the natural world is to provoke the ire of this powerful spirit. Yet even in her fury, her aim is never vengeance, but restoration—a return to harmony.
Al’Khyneth’s influence is felt deeply among her chosen people, but also in the lands they tend. Where the An’sei walk, life flourishes, and where her teachings are followed, communities thrive in peace. Her presence is a reminder that in the balance of nature and the bonds of community, there is an enduring strength that far surpasses the transient power of violence. For those who heed her guidance, Al’Khyneth offers not just her blessings, but the promise of a life lived in unity with the world and its countless wonders.
