The Fossar are descendants of the ancient water spirits, who’s lineage can be traced back to Nilfelldir, the Second Daughter of the sky and the maker of rain. Her tears of joy, fell to the rivers and lake of Eldwin, giving birth to the first Fossar. They are found across the four regions of Eldwin, with their primary dwellings in the various bodies of water and the riverways. 

They maintain their connection to Nilfelldir through their rites, festivals, and melodies that weave throughout the kingdom, enchanting all who listen. Despite their elusiveness, their role in Eldwin is vital, as they protect the waterways and bring joy and harmony through their mystical music.

Musical Prowess

Amidst the flowing rivers and tranquil lakes of Eldwin, the Fossar weave melodies that seem to rise from the waters themselves. Their music, both ethereal and grounded, holds a magic that speaks to the very soul.

They are famous for their mastery of string instruments, used to communicate, celebrate, and weave protective magic around their homes. Their music resonates through the waters, bringing calm and allure to their home waterways.

Their difference in musical prowess becomes apparent when you compare them to the Himmelkin - whose inclination is towards using wind instruments. While the Himmelkin's wind songs differ from the Fossar's aquatic melodies, both races share mutual respect and occasionally collaborate on music. Together they create true sounds of magic, but this is a rare occurrence. 

Magic & Culture

Their innate magic allows them to shape water at will with effortless grace and finesse, showcasing their connection to the element. More skilled Fossar can go a step further, exhibiting extraordinary mastery by conjuring water without the aid of any spell focus or incantations. Integral to their rich culture is a revered tradition that unfolds when a Fossar reaches the pivotal age of maturity – a festive event known as the watershaping festival. This ceremony serves as a significant rite of passage, where youthful Fossar proudly unveil their intricate water-shaping talents, marking their transition into respected adulthood within their community.

Conclusion

The Fossar are a people as elusive as the mist upon the lake, yet their music enchants the soul like the most precious lullaby. Their connection to the waters runs deep, and their society is a vibrant testament to the beauty of harmony between nature and magic.

Enjoy the music,
